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.
