Blaster Controller
The controller is equipped with a power on switch, blast switch, vibrate switch and rotary speed control. Once the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the controller face plate will
illuminate white indicating that the controller is ready for operation. During operation, face plate color will vary depending on the mode of operation and status of the controller. If the
vehicle ignition is shut off while the controller power switch is in the ON or AUTO position the controller will turn off. Once the vehicle ignition is turned back on the controller will not
illuminate or turn on unless the controller power switch is fi rst turned off.
To start the spreader, be sure that the vehicle engine is running to prevent battery from wearing down, fl ip the power switch to position I for normal mode or position II for auto mode.
Once power switch is ON, the spreader will power up with 5 full blast for approximately one second then drop to wherever the dial has the speed set at. Adjust the speed of the spreader
by rotating the dial clockwise for faster and counterclockwise for slower. The face plate will illuminate greener as the speed increases and will change completely to green at maximum
speed.
If auto mode is selected, the face plate color will change to amber, the spreader will power up with 5 full blast for approximately one second then drop to wherever the dial has the speed
set at. In this mode, if the brake is applied for more than 5 seconds, the spreader will stop and once the brake pedal is released, spreader will resume its operation.
The blast switch provides momentary full power override. During operation if blast switch is depressed, spreader will go on to full speed and the face plate color will change to blue.
If vibrator switch is fl ipped to the ON position I, vibrator motor will be activated as long as the switch is maintained at position I and the face plate will illuminate purple. If vibrator auto
mode is selected at position II, vibrator motor will activate for 10 seconds every 60 seconds and will cycle the motor ON and OFF as long as the switch is maintained at AUTO position
II. Face plate will change color to purple whenever the vibrator motor is activated.
In case there is an overload condition, the face plate will change to red color and the spreader will stop. The Power ON / OFF or AUTO switch will need to be turned OFF to reset the
controller.
SPREADING HINTS: Never exceed 10 M.P.H. (16 kmh) when spreading. For a wider pass, increase spinner speed. For a heavier pass, drive more slowly. Never operate spreader around
people and calculate spread pattern around vegetation.
