When the spread pattern is heavy on the inside of the spread
simply slide the base in—towards the hopper. If your spread
is heavy on the outside, slide the base out—away from the
hopper.

Operating the Machine
1.
Fill the machine hopper with the material to be spread.
2.
Ensure option is installed (Twin Spinner).
3.
Adjust the gate height to the preferred setting.
4.
Adjust both flow control valves to the preferred setting.
Set the belt and option speeds to the preferred setting
(typically, the belt speed should be: Wireless—100%,
Standard Hydraulics—#10).
5.
Park the tow vehicle 3 m (10 ft) in front of the area
required for top dressing.
6.
Ensure that the on/off pendant switches are both
off. On wireless models, ensure that the hand held
functions are stopped.
7.
Engage the hydraulics (either on the tow vehicle or on
the auxiliary hydraulic power pack).
8.
Increase rpm of the tow vehicle. Turn the option on,
using the on/off pendant or the hand held on wireless
models.
9.
Drive forward to the area that requires top dressing,
raising the rpm of the tow vehicle to the optimal
operating range.
10.
When the machine option is directly over the beginning
of the top dressing area, use the on/off pendant or
the control pendant on wireless models to turn on the
conveyer belt.

functions as a single operation start feature. The
option will start followed by the belt.
11.
Travel in a straight line and spread the material at a
constant speed until the spread reaches the edge of the
top dressing area.
12.
Turn off the conveyor belt, turn the machine around,
and position it for the next pass.
13.
Before making the next pass, check the spread pattern
on the ground. Adjust the machine settings if necessary.
14.
Continue steps
to
until the entire area requiring
top dressing has been completed, or the hopper is
empty
15.
Turn off the conveyor belt and the option, lower the
tow vehicle rpm, and disengage the hydraulics.
Note:
Always shut the conveyor off first.
Wireless Controller Safety
(Model 44751 only)
The wireless controller activates rapidly rotating parts and
pinch hazards. Be sure to always be in line of sight of the
ProPass when operating, adjusting or programming the
wireless controller.
To ensure that the activation of the spinners and the floor is
intentional, you must press the start buttons twice: once to
select and once to engage. This helps prevent accidental start
when making manual adjustments on the machine
If no buttons are pressed for 10 seconds when programming
or preparing to operate the wireless controller , it will enter
into an idle mode and resort back to the last saved program
or setting.
CAUTION
Power off your wireless controller and work vehicle
(to ensure no hydraulic flow) before making any
physical adjustments to the blades or floor.
Disconnecting the Machine
from a Tow Vehicle
1.
Park the tow vehicle and the machine on dry, level
ground.
2.
Set the parking brake on the tow vehicle, shut off the
engine, and remove the key.
3.
Place blocks under two wheels of the machine (front
and back).
4.
Relieve the pressure from the hydraulic system.
5.
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses, coil and store them on
the front of the machine.
6.
Disconnect the intermediate power cord from the tow
vehicle.
