EARTHWAY 2050TP 80LB Estate Tow Broadcast Spreader Installation Guide
Thank you for selecting EarthWay for your spreader needs. Our production team in Northern Indiana takes pride in building this spreader. Our customer support team is standing ready to ensure your success. Please contact us at www.EarthWay.com to see our full line of commercial, lawn & garden tools.
Note: Your EarthWay spreader includes a feature called side spread control. This feature turns off fertilizer from being spread to the left side. To activate this feature, slide the lever below the hopper to the right (if standing behind the spreader) and walk along a sidewalk or flowerbed that is 12”-14” on your left side. Fertilizer will not spread to the left. This feature is better than a deflector as no material is wasted by the deflector.
For spreading, please utilize the following spreader settings:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before filling hopper, become familiar with the operation of this spreader.
- Obtain proper setting for material to be used from the SETTING MATRIX included with this spreader.
- Move stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper setting and tighten to secure.
- While pulling spreader forward, push control lever toward the spreader to the stop bolt. To stop, pull lever forward to close flow holes before you stop moving.
- When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper.
- To prevent corrosion, spray a light oil or Fluid Film inside the tubing of the chassis and on all metal parts.
- If using, Rock Salt, to prevent damage to the gearbox 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 operated with the salt in place.
The SideSpred-Control™ is an innovation that eliminates the need to use a side deflector, which can adversely affect your application rate, to prevent material from being spread into flowerbeds, on sidewalks, or driveways. The SideSpredControl™ maintains the correct application rate while it is activated, giving you excellent results in seeding or spreading while controlling the spread pattern on the left side of the spreader. The SideSpred-Control™ is an EarthWay® exclusive.
SideSpred-Control™ OPERATION
The SideSpred-Control™ lever is located on the back of the hopper at the bottom. To operate the SideSpred-Control™, slide the control lever from the left, to the right. This will activate the SideSpred-Control™ for a PARTIAL spread pattern and prevent material from being spread to the left side of the spreader. Position the left wheel of your spreader 12”-16” from the sidewalk, flowerbed, or driveway and spread as normal. When you have completed this spreading pass, open the SideSpred-Control™ by sliding the control lever from right to left, for a FULL spread pattern.
