Overview

Wet / Dry Switch

The Wet / Dry switch works in combination with the 
optional low pressure switch and has two positions, 
wet and dry. See Figure 23-1.
In the Wet position, the optional low pressure switch 
becomes part of the safety circuit.  
•  When the water pressure at the low pressure 

switch reaches the set PSI, the low pressure 
switch will close which completes the safety circuit 
and allows the machine to run.  

•  If the water pressure drops below the set psi while 

the machine is running, the machine will shut 
down due to low pressure.

In the Dry position, the optional low pressure switch 
is by-passed, removed from the safety circuit and the 
machine will run without water pressure.

NOTE

• If the switch is left in the DRY position when 

the operator is applying water the machine 
will NOT shut down if the pressure falls be-
low the low pressure switch setting.

Auto Reverse / Auto Stop Switch*

The auto reverse / auto stop switch controls the auto 
reverse and auto stop function and works in combina-
tion with the drive unit mounted auto reverse/auto stop 
mechanism and has two positions, Auto Reverse or 
Auto Stop. See Figure 23-2.
In the auto reverse position, the machine will reverse 
direction when the end of field stop mechanism is ac-
tivated.
In the auto stop position, the machine will stop when 
the end of field stop mechanism is activated.

*  Only available on control panels equipped with Auto Reverse/

Auto Stop.
