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 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. Ferti
lizer will
not spread to the left. This feature is better than
a deflector as no material is wasted by the
deflector.
HELPFUL HINTS
▪
Make sure the ARROW 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 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. Slower or faster
speeds will change the spread patterns. Wet fertilizer will
also change the spread pattern and flow rate. Clean and
dry your spreader thoroughly after each use. A coating of
light spray oil on all metal parts will help prevent corrosion,
pay special attention to coating
the inside
of the steel
tubing.
Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open
the gearbox or dirt may enter.
