SIDE SPREAD CONTROL    

Your EarthWay spreader includes a 
patented feature to prevent fertilizer from 
being spread to the left side. To activate this 
feature, slide the lever below the hopper to the back (if 
standing behind the spreader) and position the left wheel  
6″-12″ from your sidewalk or border.  While activated, 
the spreader will not waste fertilizer like competitor 
designs. Competitor deflectors leave 7X the fertilizer 
inside the wheels from blocking all the material leaving 
the impeller.
