How to Calibrate Your Scotts® Drop Spreader

Calibrating Your Drop Spreader

[crazypiratesquirrel]

Hey Scott's.

I hate to complain but I had to watch this video at the calibration part 5 times to figure out where the calibration circle and mark were because all I could see was the straight raised "teeth" things. Seeing all of the confused comments tells me I'm not alone. You should really consider having someone add a highlighted spot over the round calibration circle mark with slash or a quick cut/edit where you've zoomed in to show what line you are talking about and repost this. Other than the fact that the mark is difficult to see on the video it's a great video. I came here because my hand-me-down AccuGreen 3000 seems to be releasing a 3 amount when on a 6. Hopefully thanks to this video I can fix it. :D

Finally i found out where that spring goes on open & closing gate - Thanks for the video

Very helpful. I didn't need a wrench to turn it either. Also don't forget to let off the handle when you turn and then repress it to check. Very helpful video.

Thank you for the info, this was lawn care meets Eraserhead, , pure genius!😎👍

They show it in the video but the horizontal line in that circle is super subtle, especially if youve it before and you're recalibrating bc there may be gunk and dust in the circle!

PAUSE at 1:23 look almost dead center of screen. The black shut-off bar has a vertical line protrusion just to the left of the spring. That's the line to line up with the green spreader body where you'll see an embossed circle with a line in it. Easy to see when you know what to look for. They should do a close-up picture in picture.

Simple to calibrate. Good instructions.

Discussion of how to calibrate starts at 1:15 of this 2:00 video.

I have the Scott’s accugreen drop spreader. Mine don’t have the black rib or the green groove? The only thing I see to the right of the spring is a green circle with a line in the middle

This guy's stare should come with a hatchet. Dude would give Michael Myers goosebumps.

Id love to send Adam my new Scott’s drop spreader to calibrate it. I’m a handy 57 year old homeowner with a doctoral degree and I can’t get the damn thing to work right. I give up. Going back to Lowe’s.

Grest video! I just used it to calibrate my drop spreader. The video made the instructions pretty clear. Thanks.

[timmelvin]

What if your Accugreen 2000 does not have the pointer and grove? How do you calibrate it?

[jasf]

Hi, is there an instruction manual included in the box about how to calibrate it when you turn in upside down? Because I watched the clip here over and over and don't have a clue what you are lining up.

[kenmandu]

Is it the shutoff bar, or that little rectangular protrusion, that should be on the calibration line? Not clear at all!

All the commenters commenting on this man giving this presentation with derogatory remarks about his person, THAT'S BULLYING. You are all bullies. Oh, ya, you'll say 'lighten up ' and 'debbie downer' and shite like that to me, but this is how bullies act. You think you're being really witty and funny and cleaver. Well, you aren't. So stop it. At least this guy has a job.

Any idea where I can get a new Steel Spring from.. It has snapped on the 2nd time I went to use the Spreader (UK Based)
