OPERATING THE SPREADER – CAB CONTROL

CONTROLLING MATERIAL APPLICATION

The material application settings can be adjusted 
while the spreader is ON or OFF. Settings are shown 
by the indicator lights around the control knobs. When 
the spreader is OFF, a single LED will light to show the 
current setting. When the spreader is ON, the number 
of blue LEDs illuminated will increase/decrease as the 
knobs are turned clockwise/counterclockwise.

The hopper drive will not deliver material until the ON 
button is pressed.

The Material Width (left) knob controls spinner speed. 
Turning the knob clockwise will increase the width of 
the application area.

The Material Flow (right) knob controls the hopper 
drive. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the 
feed rate of material to the spinner.

Turning the control knobs counterclockwise will 
decrease the width of the application area and the 
feed rate of material.

BLAST/Maximum Application

1.  Press and hold the BLAST button when maximum 

fl

 ow rate and application area are needed 

temporarily. The BLAST button will illuminate 
while depressed.

2.  Release the button when maximum application 

settings are no longer needed.

NOTE: Spinner speed and material feed rate revert 
to the previous settings once the BLAST button 
is released.

CAB CONTROL MODES

During normal spreader operation, 

no control codes 

are displayed.

 Information or setup codes will appear 

when relevant. These codes will not stop spreader 
operation.

Error Mode

When an error condition occurs, spreader operation 
will shut down. A two-character error code will 

fl

 ash 

on the display and a beep will sound. If there are 
multiple error codes, the codes will 

fl

 ash in a repeating

the hopper module to time out if components are 
overheating. The control will display an 

EF

Accessory work lights and strobe lights can be used 
when an error code is in effect and will remain in 
their current state. The vibrator and pre-wet will not 
function.
