NOTICE
The handling of Cationic Emulsions (CRS-2, CMS-2, CSS-1 and CSS) may create an
environment within the Asphalt Distributor that can be corrosive to carbon steel and
cast iron.
• Cationic Emulsions are widely used within the industry.
• Cationic Emulsion is manufactured with asphalt, water, emulsiers and
hydrochloric acid. The chemistry of individual emulsions varies in asphalt content
and Ph levels.
• Tanks and spray mechanisms used with Cationic emulsions may experience
corrosion
• It is believed the chemistry of the emulsion - specically the residual fumes
promote the corrosion
• Etnyre Distributors are compatible with Cationic Emulsions provided that certain
precautions are taken.
• Prior to placing a distributor in to service with Cationic Emulsion, it should be
loaded with an AC or MC type material to develop a protective coating.
• Periodic inspection of the tank and spray system should be preformed in the
normal course of operation.
• It is recommended that distributors used in Cationic service be ushed periodically
and at the end of the season with an AC, MC or cutback to remove the corrosive
materials and to provide a protective coating.
• Increasing the quantity of ushing material during daily suck back and cleanout
operations will also help to minimize corrosion damage.
• Dilution is the solution.
• Additional information can be acquired from your Emulsion supplier as well as the
Asphalt Institute or the Asphalt Emulsion Manufactures Association.
WARNING
Take extra care and follow recommended
procedures when alternating asphalt
materials especially when loading hot
product, over 212 degrees Fahrenheit
emulsion was used in the previous load.
(100 degrees Celsius), on to a tank and
system previously in Emulsion service.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The operation of a bituminous distributor normally requires handling of liquid products at elevated temperature.
Also, these liquids may be of a volatile nature. A heating system is supplied to raise or maintain the product
temperature, and these systems use highly combustible fuels. As with any type of construction equipment, there
are certain hazards associated with careless or improper operation.
Safety warnings have been provided to call attention to any potentially hazardous situation that may cause property
damage, personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders. These safety warnings will be shown at various
times throughout this manual, as they are applicable to the subject being presented. These safety warnings are
identied by the following warning symbols:
Safety Precautions, Hazard Seriousness Level
You will nd safety information boxes throughout this manual. These boxes contain information alerting you to
situations or actions to avoid.
Signal words (DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION) are used to identify levels of hazard seriousness. Their
selection is based on the likely consequence of human interaction with a hazard. Denitions of hazard levels are
as follows.
DANGER - Immediate hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor personal injury or product or
property damage.
All of these warnings are listed below and they also appear throughout the manual. In addition to these, you will
nd notes throughout the manual.
NOTE - A note provides general information that the operator should be aware of when performing an operation.
DANGER
To avoid an extreme re hazard or explosion,
NEVER use gasoline as fuel in diesel or fuel
oil burners.
DANGER
A fully charged dry chemical type re
extinguisher must be within easy reach
whenever the burners are operating or there
is an open ame near the Distributor. The
minimum capacity of the re extinguisher
should be 10 pounds.
Please Note This Warning
and Remember:
• Always start and operate the engine in a
well ventilated area.
• If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust
to the outside.
• Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust
system.
WARNING
To prevent an explosion or re hazard:
• Position the unit broadside to the wind to
prevent volatile fumes from drifting toward
the burners.
• Do not operate the burners if the tank is
damaged or leaking.
• Ensure that the burners are extinguished
before removing any material from the tank
in any manner. Liquid petroleum (LP) burners
can support a ame for several minutes after
the fuel supply is turned off.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
A fully charged dry chemical type re
extinguisher must be within easy reach
whenever the burners are operating or there is
an open ame near the Distributor. The minimum
capacity of the re extinguisher should be 10
pounds.
Fluoroelastomer Handling
Some O-rings and seals used in this vehicle
are made from uoroelastomers, When used
under design conditions, uoroelastomers do
not require special handling. However, when
uoroelastomers are heated to temperatures
beyond their design temperature (around 600º
Fahrenheit), decomposition may occur with the
formation of hydrouoric acid. Hydrouoric acid
can be extremely corrosive to human tissue if
not handled properly.
A degraded seal may appear as a charred or
black sticky mass, Do not touch either the seal
or the surrounding equipment without wearing
neoprene or PVC gloves if degradation is
suspected. Wash parts and equipment with
10% lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) to
neutralize any hydrouoric acid.
If contact with the skin occurs, wash the affected
areas immediately with water. Then rub a 2.5
calcium gluconate gel into the skin until there
is no further irritation, while seeking prompt
medical attention.
Note to Physicians: For advice or treatment of
HF burns, call the DuPont Medical Emergency
number, 1-800-441-3637.
WARNING
To prevent an explosion or re hazard:
• Do not operate the burners when the vehicle is
unattended, when the vehicle is in motion, or
with the vehicle in a conned area.
• When the burners go out, shut off the fuel
supply to both burners and allow the ues to
ventilate for at least 3 minutes before re-lighting
the burners.
• Do not heat the material beyond the
manufacturer’s recommended temperature.
• Keep burning cigarettes or other sources of
combustion away from manholes and overow
vents.
• Keep area free of all sources of combustion
when spraying.
• Check the tank vent to insure that it is free from
obstruction before lighting the burners.
• Eliminate sparks from engine exhaust.
• Do not operate the burners with the manhole
open or open the manhole while the burners
are in operation.
• Flues must be covered by a minimum 6 inches
of material (bitumen) when burners are in
operation.
To prevent possible hand or facial burns:
• Always light the inside burner rst. Do not
reach across a lit burner to light or re-light
the inside burner. Shut off the outside burner
before lighting the inside burner.
To prevent possible burns:
• Always use a torch to light the burners. Never
attempt to light the burners using a match or
pocket lighter.
• Always wear insulated gloves when handling
spray bar sections or hoses.
• Always wear eye protection, face shield, long
sleeve shirt, insulated gloves, boots, and long
pants outside the boots when working around
the Distributor.
• Use extreme caution when using a torch to
heat the pump. Asphalt accumulated around
the pump may ignite when heating the pump
with a torch.
WARNING
To prevent possible injury:
• Always open the manhole cover slowly.
Pressure build up in the tank may cause the
cover to burst open.
To prevent possible re hazards, burns or
falls:
• Keep the unit clean for safe operation.

than 25% full. The product should then be circulated
through the spray bar at a rate of 10 to 20 GPM before
continuing the loading operation.
If foaming does occur, continue circulating until the
foaming stops, and then suck back the product in the
spray bar back into the tank before lling the tank the
rest of the way.
Asphalt Institute
To further increase awareness of the hazards
associated with the operation of a bituminous
distributor, and before beginning initial operation,
the operator should also receive instruction by an
authorized Etnyre dealer, or Etnyre representative.
The Centennial Distributor is designed to handle a
number of different products, such as ACs, cutbacks
& emulsions.
Knowledge of these liquid asphalts is required for safe
operation of the Distributor. It is critical to know which
product can be loaded after the previous product, and
which products react with each other.
The Asphalt Institute is a source of asphalt handling
safety information.

sponding burner indicator (Lower or Upper) will
ash white to red at one second intervals to warn
the operator. The Low Tank - Burners fault will acti-
vate on the Faults page. If a ue has low coverage,
its ON button must be held for one second to start
the burner as a safety precaution.
If the warning is active and the burner ON button is
pressed, the fault Burners - Low Level will become
active on the faults page.
Figure 2. Flashing Low Level Indicator
Figure 3. Low Tank - Burners fault
Foaming
If the Distributor is to be lled with hot bitumen,
proceed very cautiously. If there is any moisture in
the tank, or if an emulsion product was the last load,
foaming or eruption may occur.
Dow-Corning DC-200 may be used to prevent foaming
in Distributors, Transports, and Maintenance Units.
Mix the contents of one can (16 oz.) with one (1) gallon
of diesel fuel or kerosene. Add one (1) oz. of this
diluted mixture to each 1000 gallons of asphalt. The
correct amount may be poured through the manhole.
This will assist in reducing foaming, particularly if
moisture is present or if an emulsied asphalt was
used in a previous load.
If foaming does not occur at the start of the loading
operation, but you suspect that there may be moisture
in the spray bar or circulating system, the loading
operation should be stopped when the tank is no more
WARNING
To prevent possible burns from foaming
or violent eruption:
• Do not load tank with material temperature
over 200° F if water or condensation is
present in tank, or if emulsion was used in
the previous load.
•Do not heat material over 200° F if moisture
or emulsied material is present in tank.
To prevent possible burns from material
overow:
• Allow sufcient space in the tank for
expansion of the material when heating
• Before removing the ll line cap, make
certain that the asphalt pump is turning and
the tank valve is closed.

CAB TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL PANEL
1. One Foot Switches (Bar Module)
The foot-switch LED module indicates status of
each set of three nozzles on the spray bar. Each
LED can be one of four different colors:
1.) GREEN: The foot switch is up, and the noz-
zles are on. Once in Spray mode, these noz-
zles will open, and the LED will be ashing
green at one second intervals.
2.) YELLOW: The foot switch is up, but the noz-
zles are off and will not spray. This could be
if the nozzle is tapered off, or if it is on a wing
that is folded up.
3.) RED: The foot switch is down. The nozzles
are off and will not spray.
4.) BLUE: Position of the taper switch. The noz-
zles are off, and all nozzles outside taper
switch position are off, and colored YELLOW
and/or RED.
2. MASTER SPRAY Switch
Turning this switch to ON opens all activated spray
valves when BAR CIRCULATE or SUCK BACK is
selected.
The spray valves are allowed to open in SUCK
BACK for troubleshooting.
3. WING FOLD Switches (Wing Module)
Spray bars have xed center sections and fold-
ing wings on both sides. Spray bars that have the
corresponding One Foot switches turned ON will
increase the spray width when the wing is lowered
and decrease the spray width when raised beyond
the wing tilt switch setting.
It is always a good practice to turn OFF the corre-
sponding One Foot switches before raising the wing
while spraying.

1. WING FOLD Switches
Spray bars have xed center sections and fold-
ing wings on both sides. Spray bars that have the
corresponding One Foot switches turned ON will
increase the spray width when the wing is lowered
and decrease the spray width when raised beyond
the wing tilt switch setting.
It is always a good practice to turn OFF the corre-
sponding One Foot switches before raising the wing
while spraying.
2. EMERGENCY STOP Switch
Both the POWER switch in the cab and the EMER-
GENCY STOP switch at the rear must be ON for the
control system to be on. The entire system can be
shut down by turning either switch to OFF.
Before turning either switch ON be sure you know
what will automatically activate. The EMERGENCY
STOP switch is turned Off by pushing in,
and turned On by rotating counter clockwise.
3.) Joystick
The Joystick shifts the spray bar left and right, and
moves it up and down. If the spray bar is latched, the
spray bar cannot shift left or right.

shift the left spray bar left or right at four-inch incre-
ments.
5. Right Bar (Variable Width Bar only)
For variable bar units, the right bar thumb wheel
will shift the right spray bar left or right at four-inch
increments.

will show a pop-up window describing that parameter. Exit by tapping anywhere on the pop-up window or the “X”.
• Pump Threshold
o Minimum required current for the asphalt pump to turn. Setting this too high may
prevent the pump from stopping. Setting this too low will prevent the pump from
being properly controlled at low speeds.
o Default: 400 milliamps (Rexroth), 15 milliamps (Danfoss)
• Minimum Flow
