Phoenix
‘SPC10e’
Self Propelled Metering Chipping Spreader
03/12
Mid Range Speed Control
Mid range is selected on the switch bottom right on Steering
Column (under the steering wheel)
Midrange may be selected when the machine is moving.
When in LOW Range
With the MidRange switch OFF (not illuminated) the normal LOW
range is selected – the SPC10e will travel from 0 to 4.5 kph
(forward & reverse) – This is the normal setting for spreading.
Switching ON MidRange (switch illuminated), increases the top
speed for spreading – speed range is 0 to 6.5 kph.
When in HIGH Range
With the MidRange switch OFF (not illuminated) the normal
HIGH range is selected – the SPC10e will travel from 0 to 26 kph
– This is the normal setting for travelling.
Switching ON MidRange (switch illuminated), restricts the top
speed to 16kph. – speed range is 0 to 16 kph.
In this Medium High the machine is better at climbing
steep slopes. If on a steep slope the machine is slowing
down, it may be better to use switch ON Midrange until on
more level ground. Then switch OFF Medium range to travel
at full speed. This can be done whilst moving.
IMPORTANT
•
In Low Range with Medium switched on the top speed of
the machine will vary slightly (slows as the machine
heats up). Only spread in this speed range if the
accuracy is not so critical.
•
The top speed of the machine in High Range is reduce
after the machine warms up. Initially when cold it will
travel at a faster top speed.
HAZARD WARNING
Caution when cold (frst starting) – the machine has a high
top speed for a short period. Keep within the normal
speeds.
