Look for EarthWay ® or EV-N-SPRED ® models on the bag for settings. If there is none listed, please use the comparison chart below as a guide to estimate your spreader
setting. These settings are approximate and intended as a guide only.
Variations in physical characteristics of material applied, walking speed and surface roughness 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 settings listed.
