I have not used the brand of fertilizer you are speaking of, but I know from experience that for other big name brand fertilizers, a scotts spreader would be set around 5 1/4 on the dial.
Overseeding -- 7 1/2 New Lawn/ Bare spot -- 18 but it would be best to go over the lawn twice at setting 7 1/2 in perpendicular directions.
It really depends on the size of the product that you are putting down. Tiny pieces of per-emergent or pest control product will empty much faster on a setting of say 6 than a larger product like fertilizer. So settings will vary. To effectively and responsibly apply your product I'd suggest that you contact the manufacture of the spreader or the material you are spreading.

Conversion Chart for Scott's Easy Green Spreader.
I spread 10,000 sq-ft of ACE Green Turf over about 12,000 sq-ft of lawn using my Republic rotary broadcast spreader. I used a setting of 4 for the front yard (which was too much) and 2.5 in the back yard (which was too little). So, I'm thinking the right setting was about 3. Not very scientific, hope this helps...
