SPREADER OPERATION
Note: Before starting the engine, follow all safety precau-
tions.
1. A word about the Cab Control Box Functions:
A. The Clutch Switch is a three position switch with the
following functions:
“OFF” position: While in this position, with the engine run-
ning, the Spreader Feed Chain and the Spinner Disc will not
spin. Therefore, the spreader will not spread ice control
material.
“ON” position: While in this position, the Spreader Feed
chain and the Spinner Disc will spin with the engine run-
ning.
“BLAST” position: While in this position, with the engine
running, the Spreader Feed Chain and the Spinner Disc will
spin. In this position switch can only be activated when
held into the “BLAST” position.
B. The Ignition Switch is a three position switch with the
following functions:
“OFF” position: While in this position, 12 VDC power is
shut off to the spreader. To turn off the spreader, turn key
to this position.
“ON” position: While in this position, 12 VDC power is
turned on to the spreader.
