In Distance mode, the feed rate is automatically set by dispensing feed over a set distance.
Screen Features:
The top line shows the weight to feed out.
The second line shows the distance over which to feed this weight.
The third line shows the present wagon weight. This may be gross or tare.
The bottom line of the screen shows the status of the system (STOP), the mode of operation (Dist), the

“WAGON POWER NOT CONNECTED” will flash on the display if the GO button on the Remote Display is
pressed without the wagon being plugged into the tractor and/or power not getting from the tractor to the
Controller.

the machine to overfeed. Note that ground speed needs to increase not tractor revs.
