  • Dump hoist (up/down)
  • Plow lift (up/down)
  • Plow reverse (left/right)

Proportional Channels

  • Independent control of 3 proportional channels
  • Usually configured for auger/conveyor, spinner and either cross auger or pre- wet

SPREADER CONTROLS

  • Includes 3 channels for 2- or 3-channel operation
  • Open-loop control for auger, spinner and auxiliary (pre-wet, X-conveyor) channels
  • Adjustable settings from min to max
  • Ground-speed oriented or manual spreader control
  • Backlit control panel
  • Keypad controlled trim settings (no trim pots)

TARP CONTROL

  • Operator control for bi-directional tarp (electronic or hydraulic) — electrical relays not included

WARNING LIGHTS

  • Body Up, Low Oil, Filter Clog

AUTO SHUTDOWN CIRCUITS

PROPORTIONAL CHANNELS

  • Independent control of 9 proportional channels

HYDRAULIC TRIMMING

  • Configuration mode for hydraulic trimming without manual trim pots

GROUND SPEED OPTIONS

  • Ground speed triggered (GST): starts with truck motion, off when truck stops
