EARTHWAY 2050TP Estate Tow Broadcast Spreader
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. This will not waste fertilizer like competitor designs that leave 7X the fertilizer inside the wheels from blocking material leaving the impeller.

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.\
- **PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY YOU WILL NEED:
**
- **AN ADUSTABLE BOX WRENCH

- #2 PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Remove all components and hardware items from the box. Place the spreader hopper upside down and facing away from yourself. (Frame is already installed)
Step 2: Insert the cross brace through the gearbox braces(#9)
Step 3: Ensure #28 wire brace is under #15 control support prior to attaching the #15 control support to #11 using #17 bolts and #1 nuts.
Step 4: When connecting the control handle make sure it is facing downward and connect to the holes from #15 to #11 in the center. See the picture below for example:
S tep 5: Use #13 Brace Clip and #7 bolt and #16 nut to attach the bottom of the #28 wire brace to the lower side of the control support.
Step 6: Install the axle bearing on each end of the axle
Step 7: Install the Axle collar on the axle and then attach the drive wheel with the large cotter pin into the small hole in the axle and tire base. Then bend pin to attach firmly.
Step 8: Install the two axle collars left on the other side of the axle where the coast wheel goes. Slide on the coast wheel and insert the small cotter pin through the small hole on the axle and wheelbase.
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 6″–12″ 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 SideSpreadControl™ by sliding the control lever from back to the front, for a FULL, 180 degree spread pattern.
