Spreader Speed Controller
For Hydraulically driven Tailgate and V-Box
Spreaders using the HV715E/ HV1030E valve
manifold.
Fast Start Feature
When control unit is turned on, the controller
automatically starts at previous settings for
the Auger and Spinner. This makes starts
instantaneous without delay. The selected valve
position will be indicated on the LED panels as
0–10.
Auger-Blast Function
When the auger is being operated at less than
full power, the operator can deliver a “Blast” of
additional salt by depressing the front mounted
“Auger Blast” button. Ideal for laying more salt on
those “trouble spots.” The output to the Auger will
return to its preset speed after set time (which is
adjustable from 0-30 seconds) has elapsed.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, always turn control off
and disconnect spreader from rear plug while
servicing or clearing jammed spreader.
The LED panel will indicate “BT” during this
function* the blast button will “illuminate” to
indicate that function has been activated.
Auger Automatic & Manual Function
When the auger "override" wire (blue wire on rear
of controller) is connected to +12VDC signal from
brake switch and "auger" switch is in the "on"
position, the auger will stop feeding product as
long as brake pedal is depressed. Auger speed
will return to original setting after brake pedal is
released. If auger switch is in the "off" position, this
disables this function.
Rear-Mounted Main Fuse
If the spreader valve or wiring harness becomes
damaged or shorted out, the main power fuse on
controller harness will “blow” shutting off power
to controller. The cause must be repaired before
replacing fuse. Use 5 amp fuse only.
Retrofit
The valve controller can be used with all Buyers’
Hydraulically driven Tailgate Spreaders, V-Box
spreaders as well as other brands. It’s easy to
upgrade or replace previous models.
