PLEASE CONTACT US: IF YOU ARE MISSING ANY PARTS, HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY IN ASSEMBLY, OR HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SAFE OPERATION OF THIS SPREADER. THIS MODEL INCLUDES LIFETIME
TECHNICAL SUPPORT. SUPPORT HOT LINE: 574-848-7491 or 800-294-0671, email: techsupport@earthway.com
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 ow 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. Rock
Salt will reconstitute back into a solid block if left in the hopper overnight and will damage your gearbox if pushed with the
block in place.

3. Install impeller onto pinion shaft. Insert 1/8” x 1¼” cotter pin
through impeller then through pinion shaft. Use hole nearest
gear box. Spread cotter pin to prevent from falling out. Next,
install the Cross Brace through the Gearbox Brace Support as
shown above.
4. Install Gearbox by inserting the pinion shaft into hole
in center of hoppers bottom. The word “FRONT” on the
gearbox must point to FRONT of the hopper.
5. Install the Lower Handles: insert 2¼” bolt with cupped
washer (C24HD) through second hole (approximately
in the middle of the Lower Handle) in lower handle and
through rst hole in frame and secure with locknut.
A. Now insert 1½” bolt through rst hole in lower handle,
then through frame brace, and nally into the threaded
connector in the Cross Brace. [NOTE: Numbers on frame
braces must be facing toward gearbox as shown.]
Install the Foot into the Frame and align the bolt holes in
the Foot and the Frame (a Phillips screwdriver or large
nail is helpful to align the parts)
B. Next insert 1½” bolt through other end of frame brace
and through second hole in frame through the foot and
install cupped washer (C24HD) and locknut.

Adjustable Throwing Ports
with 8 repeatable settings
to balance the left or right
spread pattern to
the center.
Dual Port PRO Adjustable
Shut-Off System
The 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
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 Setup
Test 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 meters
Dual Port PRO Adjustable
®
FINE
MEDIUM LARGE
Gauge & Lever
15
Medium/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 at 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 SYSTEM
1. 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 satised that the coverage is balanced.

ESTABLISH THE SETTING RATE
2. 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.

1. Open the shut-off so that the drop holes are completely open as illustrated to the right.
2. Review the Control Lever position - if it is set so that the forward edge is at #30, you are calibrated. If not,
How to ensure your spreader is properly calibrated
Make sure the drop holes in the bottom of the hopper are fully open when the Rate Control handle is on #30. If not, please
adjust control cable or control rod to allow for a full open hopper position at #30.
Rod Type Adjustment
you need to adjust the control rod at the pivot bracket shown in Fig 1.
A. If your shut-off is not able to open fully as in step #1. Loosen the top nut a few turns, then loosen the lower nut
so that it allows you to push the shut-off open fully. Next tighten each nut so that they contact the pivot bracket
without moving it, and then carefully tighten each nut fully so they do not loosen during use. Recheck adjustment
as outlined in #1 above.

The settings furnished on the Rate 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 the above conditions, EPI makes no warranty as to the uniformity of coverage actually
obtained from the settings listed.
