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.
HELPFUL HINTS
 Read the directions before assembly.
 If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure “FRONT” on the GEARBOX points to the front of the spreader. The
impeller must turn clockwise when pushing forward. Reversing the GEARBOX during assembly will cause issues.
 Your spreader is calibrated for three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds will
change the spread pattern. Wet fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and flow rate. Do not use powdered
materials as it will damage the gearbox.
 Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the GEARBOX or dirt may enter.
PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY YOU WILL NEED: AN ADUSTABLE BOX WRENCH
#2 PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Remove all components and hardware items from the box. Place the spreader hopper upside down and
facing away from yourself. (Frame is already installed)
Step 2: Insert the cross brace through the gearbox braces(#9)
Step 3: Ensure #28 wire brace is under #15 control support prior to attaching the #15 control support to #11 using
#17 bolts and #1 nuts.
Step 4: When connecting the control handle make sure it is facing downward and connect to the holes from #15 to
#11 in the center. See the picture below for example:
Step 5: Use #13 Brace Clip and #7 bolt and #16 nut to attach the bottom of the #28 wire brace to the lower side of

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Obtain proper setting for material to be used from the enclosed SETTING MATRIX included with this spreader, or
from our web site under the MANUALS SECTION.
Set stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper rate setting.
While pushing spreader forward, pull control lever back to stop bolt, to stop spreading, push lever forward to close
flow holes before you stop moving.
When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper, rinse spreader, apply coating of light oil to all metal
parts. The gearbox is sealed and is factory lubricated.
The SideSpread-Control is a patented innovation that is superior to side deflectors. Side deflectors
block material leaving the impeller. This blocked material is now consolidated into a 2-3” wide path
on the left inside wheel of your spreader. This equates to wasted fertilizer, dark green stripes, and in some
cases this extra fertilizer (seven times) will damage the lawn.
SideSpread-Control maintains the correct application rate while not placing material on driveways, sidewalks,
flowerbeds, or worse, the storm drains in your street. This saves you money and keeps you from damaging your lawn.
To engage SideSpread-Control:
1) Locate the lever on under the right side of the hopper.
2) Slide the control lever from the front to the back.
3) Position the left wheel of your spreader 6″–12″ from the sidewalk, flowerbed, or driveway and spread as normal.
4) When you have completed this spreading pass, close the control lever to “0”, and then open the SideSpread-
Control™ by sliding the control lever from back to the front, for a FULL, 180 degree spread pattern.
