Notes
The tether is a back-up tool in case the radio fails. The tether has 2 (8) button keypads that communicate with
the main controller via CAN messages. The machine must be in Tether mode in order to activate the Tether.
Note: If Controller 1 (C1) loses communication with both the Display and the Radio receiver, C1 will default to
Tether mode internally.
There is a hardwired E-Stop switch to ground in the tether box. If the machine is in Tether mode and this
switch is open (or the tether cable broken), the system will E-Stop the engine.
(If Fuel Saver mode is turned on and the machine idles down due to light load conditions, simply press Throttle
Up and then press Feed Fwd to resume feeding).
(If the Winch Stow Switch indicates that the winch is out, Feed Fwd will stop automatically and the Tether
Winch functions will be enabled. The Tether Feed Fwd button then can be used to Feed Assist on Electric Feed
Assist machines. Once the Winch is properly stowed, Tether winch functions will be disabled and Feed Fwd
will operate as normal to resume chipping).
The Yoke/Lift is disabled while winch is deployed. Except, Yoke/Lift can momentarily operate with Feed-
Assist-Fwd. Yoke/Lift is fully enabled again once the winch is properly stowed tight on the stow bar.
When the mechanical control bar is in the reverse position a switch interrupts the FeedRev coils to prevent a
double reverse which would then feed forward.
