SIDE SPREAD CONTROL 

Your EarthWay spreader includes a feature called side 
spread control. This feature turns off fertilizer from being 
spread to the left side. 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.
