SIDE SPREAD CONTROL
Patent U.S. 10,993,368
Your EarthWay spreader includes a patented
feature to prevent fertilizer from being spread
to the left side. To activate this feature, slide the lever
below the hopper to the back (if standing behind the
spreader) and position the left wheel 6″-12″ from your
sidewalk or border. This will not waste fertilizer like
competitor designs that leave 7X the fertilizer inside the
wheels from blocking material leaving the impeller.
ASSEMBLY
For assembly, flip up handle and tighten each wing nut to
hold handle in position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before filling hopper, become familiar with the operation of this spreader.
Obtain proper setting for material to be used from the SETTING MATRIX included with this spreader.
Move stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper setting and tighten.
While pushing spreader forward, push control lever forward to the stop bolt. To stop, pull lever back to close flow holes
before you stop moving.
When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper.
Thoroughly wash spreader and allow to dry before storing.
To prevent corrosion, spray a light oil or Fluid Film inside the tubing of the chassis and on all metal parts.
If using Rock Salt, to prevent damage to the gearbox remove salt from the hopper daily. Rock Salt will reconstitute back into a
solid block if left in the hopper overnight and will damage your gearbox if operated with the salt in pla

Establishing a Setting Rate
Step 1: Use Chart 1 to estimate the number of LBS/1,000 square feet of coverage (Example: 20LB bag with 10,000 square foot
coverage = 2.0LBS/1,000 square feet)
Step 2: Find the closest LBS/1,000 square feet in Chart 2 that you estimated using Chart 1 (Example: 2.0LBS/1,000 square
feet = Spreader Setting of 13)

The settings furnished on the Rate Setting Matrix are intended as a guide only.
Variations in physical characteristics of material applied, walking speed, and
roughness of ground surface may require slightly different spreader settings. Due
to the above conditions, the manufacturer makes no warranty as to the uniformity
of coverage actually obtained from the settings listed.
