HELPFUL HINTS: READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY ; If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT 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 after each use as some fertilizer may become stuck on the impeller blades and 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, wash between the shut-off plate and bottom of the hopper regularly. To prevent rust, coat all metal parts (inside and out) including the chassis tubes with a light oil or corrosion preventative spray. Wash between the shut off plate and bottom of the hopper and allow to dry before next use..

; Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter. ; If you use Rock Salt remove the agitator to prevent damage to the gearbox and remove salt from the hopper daily.

17. For normal operation both doors should be fully opened. To reduce flow to the left side, partially or completely close the door over the rear (LARGE) hole. To reduce flow to the right side, partially or completely close the door over the front (SMALL) hole. Close both doors for a narrow center spread pattern.

WARNING: If the optional side deflector is being used in the down position, the plate over the rear (LARGE) hole MUST BE CLOSED or an over application of material will occur.

The settings furnished on the Setting Matrix are intended as a guide only. Variations in physical characteristics of material applied, walking speed, and roughness of ground surface may require slightly different spreader settings. Due to these conditions, Earthway Products, Inc. makes no warranty as to the uniformity of coverage actually obtained from the settings listed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSBefore filling hopper, become familiar with the operation of this spreader.

5 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.

5 Move stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper setting. 5 While pushing spreader forward, pull control lever back to stop bolt. 5 To stop, push lever forward to close flow holes before you stop moving. 5 When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper. 5 Thoroughly wash spreader and allow to dry before storing. Apply coating of light oil to help prevent corrosion. 5 If you use Rock Salt, remove agitator when using Rock Salt to prevent damage to the gearbox.

Using the EV-N-SPRED® Dual Port PRO Adjustable Shut-Off SystemThe EV-N-SPRED® Dual Port PRO Adjustable Shut-Off System is included on all professional models and allows the operator to balance the spread pattern evenly across the full 180o spread width, regardless of the weight or size of granular material. By closing either the right and or left side throwing ports you can balance the spread pattern to exacting precision without compromising spread width or application rate.

Each EV-N-SPRED® Dual Port PRO Adjustable Shut-Off System drop hole has a corresponding 1/3rd coverage area on the spread width of the spreader leaving a feathered-edge for overlapping the spread path. The illustration to the right shows each port and the corresponding 1/3rd coverage area of the spread path. These ports can be adjusted to effectively balance the spread pattern, giving equal amounts of material across the full 180o spread pattern.

EV-N-SPRED®Dual Port PRO System SetupTest all material prior to beginning your spreading job. You will need a 50’ measuring tape, a small scale to weigh the material, bucket or container to hold the material for re-weighing, chalk or a line marking device, and (7) low baking tins. Using the EarthWay® Bag Calibrator #77016 can greatly reduce the time needed for determining the Setting Rates on any material but is not mandatory to establish a setting rate.

1. Evaluate the material being spread by comparing it to the following standard as a reference. Large/Heavy is the size of a BB (⅛ in / 3mm), spread width is 20 - 30 feet (7.6 - 9.1 metersMedium/Mixed (½ the size of a BB), spread width is 16 - 20 feet (4.8 - 7.6 meters) Small/Fine (the size of sand), spread width is 12 - 16 feet (3.7 - 4.8 meters)

2. Add a small amount of the material into the spreader, enough to cover the bottom (2-3 in / 5 - 7 cm) and begin to test for spread width.Set the stop on the gauge to #15 and push the spreader several feet /meters at normal walking speed on a flat hard surface (where the material will be visible), and OPEN the lever to the STOP while continuing to walk for 3-4 paces, and CLOSE the shut-off and STOP (don’t move the spreader from that position). Measure the spread width and evaluate the spread pattern for even distribution on either side of the spread width center line. TIP: Typical spread width references are listed above. The spread width that you measure is used to calculate the actual Setting Rate for the material.

ADJUSTING THE EV-N-SPRED® DUAL PORT SHUT-OFF SYSTEM1. Next, using the (7) low baking tins position, them in a straight line on 2-foot centers across the spread width as shown at the right. Adjust the left or right variable throwing ports to EVEN THE SPREAD pattern. TIP: For large/heavy materials, close the LEFT SIDE (LINES) port slightly before you start your EV-N-SPRED® test. For small/light materials, open the LEFT SIDE (LINES) port fully and close the RIGHT SIDE (DOTS) port slightly before you start your EV-N-SPRED® test. With BOTH ports closed, the spread is only from the center port, and will give you a 3-4ft spread width in the center of the spreader - great for medians.Begin pushing the spreader several feet before the line of tins and at normal walking speed. Walk along the Center Line, and OPEN the Lever to the STOP 3-4 paces before the line of tins and continue walking past the tins 1 or 2 paces and CLOSE the Lever and STOP. Visually evaluate the material in the baking tins to determine if your spread pattern is balanced - having the same amount of material in each baking tin. Empty each tin back into the spreader, adjust the ports and RETEST until you are satisfied that the coverage is balanced.

ESTABLISH THE SETTING RATE2. Remove the material from the hopper, and mark the distance that you need to travel with the spreader to attain the designated coverage area - i.e. 1,000 square feet using the spread width you determined earlier. Above is a chart to help determine the distance needed for 1,000 square foot calculation. Mark the START and END POINTS on the surface required for the test.Weigh a small amount (10-20lbs/4-9kg) of the material, and add that into to the spreader. Using the Setting Matrix included with the spreader, estimate a setting rate based on material manufacturers recommendations and adjust the STOP on the Gauge to that position. Now to test, start walking 1-2 paces before the START LINE and OPEN the Lever to the stop and then CLOSE when you cross the END POINT LINE.Pour the remaining material from the spreader and weigh to calculate the amount applied over the area. Adjust the Setting Rate to a higher number if you need to increase the application rate, or to a lower number if you applied too much in the test. You may need to repeat this process to acquire the exact rate.

The EV-N-SPRED® Dual Port PRO Adjustable Shut-Off System ensures that EarthWay® Professional spreaders evenly spread all types of fertilizers, seed, ice melt, or other granular products, and is only available from EarthWay®.
