Calibrating the Spreader Place 6 additional pans, on each side, with no gap in between each pan (Figure 29). Calibrate the spreader each time you use a new material. The spreader broadcasts material in a pattern 1.5 to 6.7 m (5 to 22 ft) wide depending on the material particle size, volume/density, rate of travel, and wind conditions.
Page 28
Determining the Distribution Pattern Go to the two corresponding pans. Starting from the outer edge, measure the distance between Set the spreader pattern control to the middle of left pan, across the center pan, to the outer edge its travel; refer to . of the right pan, and record the measurement.

While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
