OPERATING THE SPREADER – CAB CONTROL

POWERING THE CONTROL

Power is not applied to the control until the vehicle 
ignition is turned to ACC or ON. Once the control 
has power it performs a light check and displays the 
software version on the status display. The control 
then checks for a connected spreader. If no spreader 
is detected, the following occurs:

• nC

 (no connection) appears on the red status 

display for 

fi

 ve seconds;

•  A single beep sounds;

•  Control enters Standby mode with no lights 

illuminated.

If any button is pressed on the control, it will wake and 
check again for spreader connection. If no spreader 
is detected, it will act as previously described. If a 
spreader is detected, it will transition to Ready Mode.

STARTING AND STOPPING SPREADER

To start the spreader

, press the ON/OFF button. The 

control backlights are illuminated when the vehicle 
ignition is ON and the spreader is connected. When 
the spreader is ON, the ON/OFF button and inner arc 
around each control knob will also illuminate.

To stop the spreader

, press the ON/OFF button 

again.

The ON/OFF button also operates as an emergency 
stop when required.

NOTE: The vehicle ignition must be ON to start 
the spreader.

NOTE: If vehicle ignition is turned OFF while 
spreader is running, the motors will stop.
