WARNING
Do not use air tools to assemble. To prevent seizing,
spray all nuts & bolts with oil, grease, wax, or other
lubricant.

HELPFUL HINTS:
;If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT on the gear box points to the front of the spreader. The impeller must
turn clockwise. Reversing the gearbox will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise. Clean the impeller after each use as some
fertilizer may become stuck on the impeller blades and will cause uneven spreading.
;Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds will change
the spread patterns. Wet fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and ow rate. Clean and dry your spreader thoroughly after each
use. To prevent rust, please coat all metal surfaces, also inside tubes where possible, with a light oil or WD-40. Wash between the shut
off plate and bottom of the hopper.
;Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
;If you use Rock Salt remove the agitator to prevent damage to the gearbox and remove salt from the hopper daily. Rock Salt will
reconstitute back into a solid block over night and will damage your spreader.
ROCK SALT and POWDERED
MATERIALS should not be used in this
spreader as it will damage gearbox and can
void warranty.
Use only granular materials.
IF YOUR SPREADER COMES SEMI ASSEMBLED, SKIP TO STEP #6

OPEN THE SHUT-OFF COMPLETELY FOR PROPER CALIBRATION.]
Now tighten the nuts against the pivot bracket to prevent change in calibration.
Test by opening and closing the Gauge & Lever a few times to ensure an accurate
calibration.
14. Tension on the ow control lever may be adjusted by tightening or loosening
the tension nut as shown on the right.
11. Install attened end of control rod in to lever on gauge
into Control Rod Tabbed hole as shown. Turn to lock in place.
NEXT: Install (1) 1/4-20 Regular Nut [not a locknut] on to

15. Insert Agitator to pinion shaft on inside of hopper.
NOTE: Position of at side of agitator. This pin should
be installed as shown below.

16. For normal operation both doors should be fully opened. To reduce ow to the left side, partially or completely close the door over the rear
(LARGE) hole. To reduce ow to the right side, partially or completely close the door over the front (SMALL) hole. Close both doors for a
narrow center spread pattern.
WARNING: If the optional side deector is being used in the down position, the plate over the rear (LARGE) hole MUST BE CLOSED or
an over application of material will occur.

The settings furnished on the 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 these conditions, Earthway Products, Inc.
makes no warranty as to the uniformity of coverage actually obtained from the settings listed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before lling hopper, become familiar with the operation of this spreader.
5Obtain 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.
5Move stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper setting.
5While pushing spreader forward, pull control lever back to stop bolt.
5To stop, push lever forward to close ow holes before you stop moving.
5When nished, empty any remaining material from hopper.
5Thoroughly wash spreader and allow to dry before storing. A coating of light oil will help prevent corrosion.
5If you use Rock Salt, REMOVE THE AGITATOR to prevent damage to the gearbox.

Using the EV-N-SPRED®
Dual Port PRO Adjustable
Shut-Off System
The EV-N-SPRED®Dual Port PRO Adjustable Shut-Off System is
included on all professional models and allows the operator
to balance the spread pattern evenly across the full 180o
spread width, regardless of the weight or size of granular
material. By closing either the right and or left side
throwing ports you can balance the spread pattern to
exacting precision without compromising spread width
or application rate.
Each EV-N-SPRED®Dual Port PRO Adjustable
Shut-Off System drop hole has a corresponding 1/3rd
coverage area on the spread width of the spreader leaving a
feathered-edge for overlapping the spread path. The illustration to
the right shows each port and the corresponding 1/3rd coverage
area of the spread path. These ports can be adjusted to effectively
balance the spread pattern, giving equal amounts of material
across the full 180ospread pattern.
EV-N-SPRED®Dual Port PRO System Setup
Test all material prior to beginning your spreading job. You will need
a 50’ measuring tape, a small scale to weigh the material, bucket or
container to hold the material for re-weighing, chalk or a line marking
device, and (7) low baking tins. Using the EarthWay®Bag Calibrator
#77016 can greatly reduce the time needed for
determining the Setting Rates on any material but
is not mandatory to establish a setting rate.
1. Evaluate the material being spread by comparing
it to the following standard as a reference.
Large/Heavy is the size of a BB (⅛ in / 3mm), spread width is 20 - 30 feet (7.6 -
9.1 meters
Medium/Mixed (½ the size of a BB), spread width is 16 - 20 feet (4.8 - 7.6 meters)
Small/Fine (the size of sand), spread width is 12 - 16 feet (3.7 - 4.8 meters)
2. Add a small amount of the material into the spreader, enough to cover
the bottom (2-3 in / 5 - 7 cm) and begin to test for spread width.
Set the stop on the gauge to #15 and push the spreader several feet /
meters at normal walking speed on a at hard surface (where the material
will be visible), and OPEN the lever to the STOP while continuing to
walk for 3-4 paces, and CLOSE the shut-off and STOP (don’t move the
spreader from that position). Measure the spread width and evaluate
the spread pattern for even distribution on either side of the spread width
center line. TIP: Typical spread width references are listed above. The
spread width that you measure is used to calculate the actual Setting
Rate for the material.

ADJUSTING THE EV-N-SPRED®DUAL PORT SHUT-OFF SYSTEM
1. Next, using the (7) low baking tins position, them in a straight line on
2-foot centers across the spread width as shown at the right.
Adjust the left or right variable throwing ports to EVEN THE SPREAD
pattern. TIP: For large/heavy materials, close the LEFT SIDE (LINES)
port slightly before you start your EV-N-SPRED® test. For small/light
materials, open the LEFT SIDE (LINES) port fully and close the RIGHT
SIDE (DOTS) port slightly before you start your EV-N-SPRED®test.
With BOTH ports closed, the spread is only from the center port, and
will give you a 3-4ft spread width in the center of the spreader - great for
medians.
Begin pushing the spreader several feet before the line of tins and at
normal walking speed. Walk along the Center Line, and OPEN the
Lever to the STOP 3-4 paces before the line of tins and continue walking
past the tins 1 or 2 paces and CLOSE the Lever and STOP.
Visually evaluate the material in the baking tins to determine if your
spread pattern is balanced - having the same amount of material in each
baking tin.
Empty each tin back into the spreader, adjust the ports and RETEST
until you are satised that the coverage is balanced.
ESTABLISH THE SETTING RATE
2. Remove the material from the hopper, and mark the distance that you
need to travel with the spreader to attain the designated coverage area
- i.e. 1,000 square feet using the spread width you determined earlier.
Above is a chart to help determine the distance needed for 1,000 square
foot calculation.
Mark the START and END POINTS on the surface required for the test.
Weigh a small amount (10-20lbs/4-9kg) of the material, and add that into
to the spreader. Using the Setting Matrix included with the spreader,
estimate a setting rate based on material manufacturers recommendations
and adjust the STOP on the Gauge to that position.
Now to test, start walking 1-2 paces before the START LINE and OPEN
the Lever to the stop and then CLOSE when you cross the END POINT
LINE.
Pour the remaining material from the spreader and weigh to calculate the
amount applied over the area. Adjust the Setting Rate to a higher number
if you need to increase the application rate, or to a lower number if you
applied too much in the test.
You may need to repeat this process to acquire the exact rate.
The EV-N-SPRED®Dual Port PRO Adjustable Shut-Off System ensures
that EarthWay®Professional spreaders evenly spread all types of fertilizers, seed, ice melt, or other granular
products, and is only available from EarthWay®.
