*If your spreader uses an alphabetical system rather than numerical; convert letters to numbers to find your settings. For example: "A" would beceom 1, "B" equals 2, and so on. So, For a spreader that has settings of A-R you would refer to the chart for a spreader with a range of 1-18, or the next closest number set.
