5-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Earthway Products, Inc. warrants this product free of defects in original workmanship and materials for a period of 5-years 

to the end user with the original purchase receipt.  If a manufacturing non-conformance is found, Earthway Products, Inc. 

at its discretion will repair or replace the part(s) or product at no charge provided the failure is not the result of incorrect 

installation, mishandling, misuse, tampering, or normal wear and tear as determined by Earthway.  Earthway at its 

discretion may require that the part(s) or product be returned along with the original purchase receipt at owners’ expense for 

examination and compliance with the terms of this warranty.  Do not return any product without first receiving authorization 

from Earthway Products, Inc.  To seek remedy under this warranty, contact Earthway Products, Inc. at 574-848-7491,

of the manufacturing defect.  

SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS: 

This warranty covers only the part(s) or product; any labor charges 

associated with repair or replacement of non-conformances are specifically excluded.  Due to the corrosive nature of most 

fertilizers and ice melt products, Earthway Products, Inc. makes no warranty against and specifically excludes part(s) or 

product degradation or failure due to corrosion or its effects, or the use of powdered materials.  Clean and dry your spreader 

thoroughly after each use, as a preventative measure, coat all metal parts with a light oil or silicon spray.

SideSpred-Control

™ OPERATION

The 

SideSpred-Control™ 

lever is located under the right side of the hopper. To operate the 

SideSpred-Control™

slide the control lever from the front to the back.  This will activate the 

SideSpred-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 4”- 6” 

from the sidewalk, flowerbed, or driveway and spread as normal.  When you have completed this spreading pass, close the 

control lever to “0”, and then open the 

SideSpred-Control™ 

by sliding the control lever from back to the front, for a 

FULL

 

spread pattern.

The 

SideSpred-Control

 is a new 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 

SideSpred-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 

SideSpred-Control™

 is an 

EarthWay

 

exclusive.
