13 Control Panel
A simple and effective manually operated electric control used to instantly start and stop the feed motor at
headlands, and uses a dial control to set the feed motor speed and thus the application rate. It is not linked to
forward speed so once calibrated the operator drives at a consistent forward speed to maintain the rate, or can
manually increase or decrease application rates on the move using the dial.
The control panel
is supplied with self-adhesive Velcro strips to attach the console to a suitable surface
The control console has 2 x toggle switches, and 2 x 12 position rotary dials and which are used to control the
spinning disc and the variable speed 12v feed motor.
