EARTHWAY 2030P-Plus 65lb Broadcast Spreader with Side Spread Control Instruction Manual
HELPFUL HINTS
- ✔ Read the directions before assembly.
- ✔ If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure “FRONT” on the GEARBOX points to the front of the spreader. The impeller must turn clockwise when pushing forward. Reversing the GEARBOX during assembly will cause issues.
- ✔ Your spreader is calibrated for three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds will change the spread pattern. Wet fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and flow rate. Do not use powdered materials as it will damage the gearbox.
- ✔ Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the GEARBOX or dirt may enter.
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, the manufacturer makes no warranty as to the uniformity of coverage actually obtained from the settings listed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- ✔ 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.
- ✔ Set stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper rate setting.
- ✔ While pushing spreader forward, pull control lever back to stop bolt, to stop spreading, push lever forward to close flow holes before you stop moving.
- ✔ When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper, rinse spreader, apply coating of light oil to all metal parts. The gearbox is sealed and is factory lubricated.
The SideSpread-Control is a patented innovation that is superior to side deflectors. Side deflectors block material leaving the impeller. This blocked material is now consolidated into a 2-3″ wide path on the left inside wheel of your spreader. This equates to wasted fertilizer, dark green stripes, and in some cases this extra fertilizer (seven times) will damage the lawn. SideSpread-Control maintains the correct application rate while not placing material on driveways, sidewalks, flowerbeds, or worse, the storm drains in your street. This saves you money and keeps you from damaging your lawn.
To engage SideSpread-Control:
- Locate the lever on under the right side of the hopper.
- Slide the control lever from the front to the back.
- Position the left wheel of your spreader 612 from the sidewalk, flowerbed, or driveway and spread as normal.
- When you have completed this spreading pass, close the control lever to “0”, and then open the Side Spread Control™ by sliding the control lever from back to the front, for a FULL, 180 degree spread pattern.
