SIDE SPREAD CONTROL
The Side Spread Control is an innovation that eliminates the need to use a side deflector, which can adversely affect
your application rate, to prevent material from being spread into flowerbeds, on sidewalks, or driveways. The Side
Spread Control maintains the correct application rate while it is activated, giving you excellent results in seeding or
spreading while controlling the spread pattern on the left side of the spreader. The Side Spread Control is an
EarthWay®exclusive.
Thank you for selecting
EarthWay for your
spreader needs. Our
production team in
Northern Indiana takes
pride in building this
spreader. Our customer support team is
standing ready to ensure your success. Please
contact us at www.EarthWay.com to see our
full line of commercial, lawn & garden tools.
Note: Your EarthWay spreader includes a
feature called side spread control. This
feature shuts off the left side of your spreader,
allowing only the right side to continue
spreading evenly. To activate this feature, slide
the lever below the hopper to the right (if
standing behind the spreader) and walk along
a sidewalk or flowerbed that is 12”-14” on
your left side. Fertilizer will not spread to the
left. This feature is better than a deflector as
no material is wasted by the deflector.
For spreading, please utilize the following
spreader settings:

SIDE SPREAD CONTROL OPERATION
The Side Spread Control lever is located on the back of the hopper at the bottom. To operate the Side Spread Control,
slide the control lever from the left, to the right. This will activate the Side Spread Control for a PARTIAL spread pattern
and prevent material from being spread to the left side of the spreader. Position the left wheel of your spreader 12”-
16” from the sidewalk, flowerbed, or driveway and spread as normal. When you have completed this spreading pass,
open the Side Spread Control by sliding the control lever from right to left, for a FULL spread pattern.
