HELPFUL HINTS
+If your spreader does not spread
evenly, be sure “FRONT” on the GEAR-
BOX points to the front of the spread-
er. The impeller must turn clockwise
when pushing forward. Reversing
the GEARBOX will cause the impeller
to turn counter clockwise. Clean the
impeller plate after each use. Fertilizer
stuck on the impeller blades will cause
uneven spreading.
+ Your spreader is designed to be
pushed at three miles per hour, which
is a brisk walking speed. Clean and
dry your spreader thoroughly after
each use. Coat all metal surfaces
(pay special attention to the inside &
outside of tubing - it’s easiest to do
while assembling) with light oil, Fluid
Film®or silicon spray to help prevent
corrosion. Wash between the shut o
plate and the bottom of the hopper.
Do not use powdered materials.
+Gears are permanently lubricated at
the factory. Do not open the gearbox
or dirt may enter.

FIG 2
Drop holes shown fully open.
How to ensure your spreader is properly calibrated Make sure the drop holes in the bottom of the hopper are fully open when the Rate Control handle is on #30. If not, please adjust control cable or control rod to allow for a full open hopper position at #30. Rod Type Adjustment
1. Open the shut-o so that the drop holes are completely open as illustrated to the right. 2. Review the Control Lever position - if it is set so that the forward edge is at #30, you are calibrated. If not, you need to adjust the control rod at the pivot bracket shown in Fig 1.
A. If your shut-o is not able to open fully as in step #1. Loosen the top nut a few turns, then loosen the lower nut so that it allows you to push the shut-o open fully. Next tighten each nut so that they contact the pivot bracket without moving it, and then carefully tighten each nut fully so they do not loosen during use. Recheck adjustment as outlined in #1 above. B. If your shut-o is able to open fully as in step #1, but the Control Lever is not at #30. Loosen the top nut a few turns, then loosen the lower nut so that it allows you to push the Control Lever to #30. Next tighten each nut so that they contact the pivot bracket without moving it. Carefully tighten each nut fully so they do not loosen during use. Recheck adjust as outlined in #1 above. Cable Type Adjustment
1. Open the Control Lever so that the shut-o and drop holes are completely open as illustrated in Fig 2. 2. Review the Control Lever position so that the indicator is pointed to #30, if it is your calibration is correct. If not you need to adjust the control cable at the cable clamp on the underside of the hopper as shown in Fig 2.
A. If your shut-o is not able to open fully as in step #1. Loosen the cable clamp screw slightly so that you can slide the outer cable out so that the shut-o is fully open. Next tighten the cable clamp screw securely. Recheck adjustment as outlined in #1 above. B. If your shut-o is able to open fully as in step #1, but the Control Lever is not at #30. Loosen the cable clamp screw slightly so that you can slide the outer cable in so that the Control Lever opens to #30. Next tighten the cable clamp screw securely. Recheck adjustment as outlined in #1 above.
If you have any questions regarding the operation or assembly of your spreader please call us at 574-848-7491 Monday - Friday 9:00am - 4:00pm Eastern. Accessories and Repair Parts are also available at this numbers.

ESTABLISHING A SETTING RATE
STEP 1: Determine the rate by dividing the bag weight by the coverage of the bag listed (Example:(37lbs/10,000square feet =
.0037), then multiply by 1,000 (.0037x1000 = 3.7lbs/1,000 square feet). That will give the suggested LBS/1,000 square feet rate.
STEP 2: Find the closest LBS/1,000 square feet in Broadcast Setting Matrix below, based on the material particle size. (Example:
2.0 LBS/1,000 square feet = Spreader Setting of 9,11, or 13 based on particle size)
The settings furnished on the Rate Setting Matrix are intended as a guide only. Variations in physical characteristics of ma-
terial applied, walking speed, and roughness of ground surface may require slightly dierent spreader settings. Due to the
above conditions, EPI 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.
1. 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.
2. Move stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the
proper setting.
3. While pushing spreader forward, pull control
lever back to stop bolt.
4. To stop, push lever forward to close ow holes
before you stop moving.
5. When nished, empty any remaining material
from hopper.
6. Thoroughly wash spreader and allow to dry before
storing. A coating of light oil will help prevent corrosion.
7. Keep this manual for future reference

RATE SETTING MATRIX
The settings furnished on the Rate Setting Matrix are
intended as a guide only. Variations in physical charac-
teristics of material applied, walking speed, and rough-
ness of ground surface may require slightly dierent
spreader settings. Due to the above conditions, the
manufacturer makes no warranty as to the uniformity
of coverage actually obtained from the settings listed.
HOW TO ORDER SPARE PARTS
All spare parts listed herein may be ordered direct from
the manufacturer. Be sure to give the following infor-
mation when ordering. (Model Number, Part Number,
Part Description)
EARTHWAY SIDE SPREAD CONTROL TECHNOLOGY OPERATION
The EARTHWAY SIDE SPREAD CONTROL TECHNOLOGY lever is located on the back of the hopper at the bottom. To
operate the EARTHWAY SIDE SPREAD CONTROL TECHNOLOGY, slide the control lever from the left, to the right. This
will activate the EARTHWAY SIDE SPREAD CONTROL TECHNOLOGY 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,
owerbed, or driveway and spread as normal. When you have completed this spreading pass, open the EARTHWAY
SIDE SPREAD CONTROL TECHNOLOGY by sliding the control lever from right to left, for a FULL spread pattern.
