Models M80

1. Always wear protective clothing, eyewear, and dust mask to prevent contact with chemicals and other materials being

applied with this machine.

2. Remove any material in the hopper before lifting or detaching this machine from the vehicle.

3. Care must be taken when lifting this machine so as not to cause personal injury or equipment damage. Never attempt to

install this machine to the vehicle alone. Recruit the help of someone to assist when attaching and detaching this machine

from the vehicle.

4. Refer to the material packaging or the Material Safety Data Sheet for precautionary measures required when handling

materials to be applied.

5. Before attaching this machine, consideration must be given to the load capacity of the vehicle. Refer to the owner’s man-

ual of the vehicle for rated load capacity. Be sure to take into account the weight of this machine 30lbs. and the weight of

the material to be placed in the hopper when calculating the total load.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ANY SPINNING OBJECT, SHUT-OFF PLATE, SOLENOID LINKAGE, AND

THE INSIDE OF THE HOPPER, EXTREME INJURY CAN OCCUR.

HOW TO OPERATE SAFELY:

1. Read, understand, and follow all product label information provided on the material being applied.

2. An adjustable solid stop is provided that allows the operator to adjust to the desired opening position on the rate setting

control prior to operation of the vehicle. This allows repeatability to the stop without the need to look at the control while

operating the vehicle.

3. Establish the correct rate and then lock the stop in that position

using the thumb wing nut on the setting control.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Position the M80 on the vehicle so that the vertical center frame brace

is positioned at the edge of the vehicle, this will allow a full 180 de-

gree spread pattern.

Shown in photo is a cross-bed mounting frame.

See page 4 for mount description.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Before filling hopper, become familiar with the operation of this spreader.

(Practice the following steps)

1. Connect only the black wire (ground) to the negative (-) post on the bat-

tery. Connect the other two wires to the positive (+) post on the battery.

2. Turn the motor switch to the ONPOSITION, so that the impeller is turning

before going on to the next step.

3. While driving forward turn the solenoid switch to the ONPOSITION, this

opens the shut off plate on the spreader.

4. To stop the flow of material, turn the solenoid switch to the OFF POSITION, then turn the motor off when finished.

5. When finished empty any remaining material from hopper.

6. Thoroughly wash spreader and allow to dry before storing. No oiling is necessary.

CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove power connect from the positive terminal on the battery.

2. Loosen # 1 wing nut.

3. Turn # 2 wing nut clockwise to reduce setting or turn counter clockwise to increase setting to desired hole opening. Set-

ting 15 places the shut-off plate inside hopper to half open. By turning this wing nut, indicator will travel along side

gauge.

4. Tighten # 1 wing nut firmly to lock calibration setting in place.

IFRATE SETTINGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE USE THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE TO CALCULATE THE SETTING:

1. Determine how much material is to be applied per 1,000 sq/ft.

2. Measure off a distance of 50 feet, preferably on a paved surface such as a parking lot.

3. Weigh out enough of the material to be applied to fill the hopper at least half full. Record the weight for future use.

4. With the unit mounted on the vehicle and the hopper at least half full of the material to be spread, position the vehicle

far enough before the beginning of the 50 foot test area so that the vehicle will achieve the desired speed before you

reach the starting line.

5. Set the rate setting stop at a position that you feel would be an appropriate setting.

6. Start the vehicle in motion and as you cross the starting line (of the 50 feet) move the rate lever to the open position

against the stop. Take care to be aware of what is going on around you maintaining control of the vehicle.

7. Continue from the starting line with the unit spreading the material. As you cross the finish line move the rate lever to

the closed position.

8. Stop the vehicle and note the width of the spread path that was just completed.

9. Return to the start point and empty the remaining material from the hopper into your weighing container and re-weigh.

Use Caution ~ disconnect power supply.

The settings furnished on the Rate Setting Chart are intended as a guide only. Variations in physical characteristics of material applied,

brisk walking speed (3 mph.), and roughness of ground surface may require slightly different spreader settings. Due to the above condi-

tions, EARTHWAY PRODUCTS INC. makes no warranty as to the uniformity of coverage actually obtained from the setting listed.

Mounting Systems

EarthWay recommends that the M80 be mounted into the bed of a vehicle or to a secure horizontal or vertical surface capable of holding

a 500lb weight. The hole location dimensions for reference are shown below.

Rate Setting Worksheet

Desired Application Rate (lbs/1,000 sq ft) _____________

To determine the desired application rate divide the area (sq ft) the bag should cover by the weight of the bag, then multiply by 1,000.

(example: 5000 sq ft / 25 lbs = .005 x 1,000 = 5)

___________Weight of Material Placed in Hopper

- __________Weight of Material Left in Hopper

=__________Weight of Material Used

50 Length of Test Area

x______ Width of Spread Area

=_______Total Spread Area

Divide the Weight of Material Used by the Total Spread Area =_________lbs\sq ft

Multiply the lbs\sq ft times 1,000 =________lbs\1,000 sq ft

Compare the results of your test to the desired application rate.

Adjust the rate setting stop accordingly and run through the test again.
