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 (100 degrees Celsius), on
to a tank and system previously in Emulsion
service.

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.
General Safety Instructions
DANGER
To avoid an extreme re hazard or explosion,
NEVER use gasoline as fuel in diesel or fuel
oil burners.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
WARNINGS

9
WARNINGS
To prevent possible burns from leaking
material:
• Be sure all pipe, cap and hose connections
are secure before opening valves, or
beginning any operation.
To prevent possible burns from hot
asphalt spray:
• Do not stand, or allow anyone to stand,
where accidental opening of a valve may
cause contact with hot asphalt.
To prevent possible burns from foaming
or violent eruption:
• Do not load tank with material temperature
over 200º F if water or condensation is
present in tank, or if emulsion was used in
the previous load.
• Do not heat material over 200º F if moisture
or emulsied material is present in tank.
To prevent burns from hot asphalt when
hand spraying:
• Hold the handspray gun in proper position
and watch for other people.
To prevent possible burns to operators
or bystanders, or possible equipment
damage:
• Do not start any operation if any control
settings are unknown.
To prevent severe injury from becoming
entangled in machinery:
• Stand clear of rotating drives.
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.
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.
WARNING
To prevent possible personal injury:
• Do not load the vehicle beyond the GAWR
or GVWR. The maximum load volume must
be calculated based on material density.
Allowing the burners to operate for a long period
of time without circulating can damage the product
and create explosive fumes. If product cannot be
circulated after fteen minutes of heating without
circulation, the burners should be extinguished for
20 - 30 minutes before re-lighting the burners.
Use the measuring stick as shown in Figure 12
in the Using the Measuring Stick section to determine
the amount of product in the tank before lighting
burners. The minimum amounts shown on the
warning placard only apply if the tank is level.
Remember that the measuring stick is accurate
only when the tank is level. If the tank is not
level, reposition the Distributor to place the tank in
a level position before taking nal measurement.
You must have at least the amounts shown, with the
tank level, in order to safely light the lower burner
and upper burner respectively. Failure to have
the appropriate amount, accurately measured
can result in an explosion causing death or
serious injury.

10
Foaming
WARNING
To prevent possible burns from foaming
or violent eruption:
• Do not load tank with material temperature
over 200ºF if water or condensation is
present in tank, or if emulsion was used in
the previous load.
• Do not heat material over 200ºF if moisture
or emulsied material is present in tank.
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 than 25% full. The product should
then be circulated through the spray bar at a rate
of 80 to 100 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.
TheAsphalt Institute is a source of asphalt handling
safety information.

1. One Foot Switches
These switches activate a corresponding foot of
spray bar valves, there are three spray valves per
foot of spray bar. Switch and spray valve numbering
starts from the center of the Distributor and goes
outward in each direction. One Foot switches that
are on a wing, which is raised, do not add to the dis-
played spray width even if they are turned ON.
The activated, switch ON, foot of spray bar will
come on when the SPRAY switch is turned ON.
The computer will automatically change the pump-
ing rate as spray valves are turned on or off while
spraying to compensate for the number of feet
being sprayed.
2. MASTER SPRAY Switch
Turning this switch to ON when the Function
knob (rear panel) is turned to BAR CIRCULATE or
SUCK BACK, opens all activated spray valves. The
spray valves are allowed to open in SUCK BACK
for troubleshooting. Turning the SPRAY switch ON
in the LOAD or TANK CIRCULATE positions of the
Function knob allows the accumulated values to
increment for measuring.
3. TANK VALVE Switch
Selects between the standard REAR tank valve
and the optional FRONT tank valve. FRONT should
always be selected prior to spraying to eliminate
air in the load line. FRONT can then be selected at
anytime while spraying.
4. LEFT MARKER VALVE Switch
(Optional)
Activates the left side marker valve.
5. RIGHT MARKER VALVE Switch
(Optional)
Activates the right side marker valve.

6. SHIFT Switch
Moves the entire spray bar left or right. Holding
the switch in either direction moves the spray bar
continuously until the switch is released, or until full
right or left is obtained.
7. LIFT Switch
The bar latching position is when the spray bar is
completely centered and raised. Unlatch the spray
bar before lowering it. The spray bar may need to be
raised to allow the bar latching mechanism to move.
The spray bar cannot be lowered beyond the height
adjuster setting, which is set for a spray height of 12
inches at the factory. The height adjusters may be
adjusted higher or lower for individual preference.
Also see the Adjusting Spray Bar Height section.
8. BAR Latch Switch (Optional)
The bar latching mechanism will remain in the
desired position even though the switch does not.
The spray bar should be latched prior to transport
and unlatched prior to lowering for spraying.
9. 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 corresponding One Foot
switches before raising the wing while spraying.
The Bifold and Trifold wings do not automatically
adjust the displayed bar length when raised or low-
ered when the corresponding One Foot switches
are On.
10. Display
All information critical for Distributor operation is
displayed on this two-line LCD. When the system
is turned ON, the installed software version is dis-
played for a few seconds, after which the rst of the
operating screens is displayed. Additional screens
are used for setting up the computer. Information
messages ash over the entire display to commu-
nicate critical information.
Refer to the Setting up the Computer and Op-
eration Screens sections in this manual for more
information.
11. Message Light

viewed on the Display.
12. MEMORY Switches
Store and recall up to ten preset application rates
for quick selection. To store the desired application
rate, make the application rate the selected value
on the display then press and hold the desired
Memory button while selecting the desired ap-
plication rate with the VALUE switch. Each button
has a factory preset between 0.050 and 0.500 G/
SQYD, or the Metric equivalent. Memories 1-5 are
available when the Memory expander switch is set
to 1-5 and similarly, memories 6-10 are available
when the Memory expander switch is set to 6-10.
13. SELECT Switch
Navigate through the display using the SELECT
switch. The selected position on the screen is
identied by the black box. The display reads like a
book, right moves right and down while left moves
left and up.
14. VALUE Switch
The selected value, identied by the black box,
can be changed using this switch. Most values can
be increased or decreased by holding the switch
in the desired direction for large changes. The ac-
cumulated values on the second operating screen
can be reset to zero by rst selecting the desired
value and then selecting VALUE decrease. Length
and area reset together when area is selected prior
to selecting VALUE decrease.
15. START Button
Starts the asphalt pump turning at the target
pump rate, used also for calibration operations
in the setup screens. When the Function knob
(rear panel) is turned to BAR CIRCULATE, the
displayed spray width must be greater than zero
for the pump to start turning when the START but-
ton is pressed.
16. Power Switch
Both the POWER switch in the cab and the
EMERGENCY 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

Rear Control Panel Descriptions
1. PUMP SPEED Control Knob
When MANUAL PUMP CONTROL is selected,
turning this knob to the right (clockwise) increases
the asphalt pump speed. It is possible to over-
speed the asphalt pump in MANUAL control since
the asphalt pump speed is also dependent on the
engine speed. Always turn the knob back to the left
(counter-clockwise) before selecting AUTO PUMP
CONTROL or turning ON the POWER switch in
the cab or the EMERGENCY STOP switch in the
rear panel.
Rear Control Panel
Figure 7. Rear Control Panel Components
2. PUMP CONTROL Switch
With the switch turned to AUTO, the asphalt
pump speed is controlled at the desired rate
through the computer which limits the maximum
pump speed to 450 GPM. When the Function knob
is set to BAR CIRCULATE, the pump speed is
limited to a maximum of 120 GPM. With the switch
turned to MANUAL, the asphalt pump speed is
controlled with the PUMP SPEED control knob.
In AUTO control, A ashes until the START
button is pressed. In MANUAL control, M ashes
until the START button is pressed. Use Etnyre
computator (p/n 3390408) when spraying in
MANUAL control.

rate, and also for calibration operations in the setup
screens. When the Function knob is turned to BAR
CIRCULATE, the displayed spray width must be
greater than zero for the pump to start turning when
the START button is pressed.
4. ENGINE HIGH IDLE Switch
When this option is available and installed, turning
ON this switch makes the engine run at a higher
RPM. Turning OFF the switch resumes the engine
speed to idle. The high idle setting varies but can be
programmed to your preference through your truck
dealer. This switch is not disabled through turning
OFF power to the controls.
5. Wing Fold Switches
Spray bars have xed center sections and folding
wings on both right and left sides. Spray bars that
have the corresponding One Foot switches turned
ON will increase the spray width when the wing
is low ered and decrease the spray width
when raised be yond 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. The Bifold and Trifold wings do not
automatically adjust the displayed bar length when
raised or lowered when the corresponding One Foot
switches are On.
6. UPPER BURNER Switch
When any burner, fuel oil or LP, with outre
control is installed, this switch directly controls the
upper burner unless optional thermostatic control
is also installed. Then it is possible for the switch

14. WASH PUMP Switch and Light
When the optional solvent pump and switch is
installed turning the switch ON will allow use of
the solvent wash wand or application of solvent
to the top of the asphalt pump without the pump
turning. The light is a reminder that the switch and
pump are ON.
15. EMERGENCY STOP Switch
Both the POWER switch in the cab and the
EMERGENCY 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.
16. Front Load Switch (Optional)
When the optional front load switch is installed,
selecting Open when in the Load or Transfer posi-
tions of the Function knob will open the front load
valve. The Closed position allows the use of the
standard load line.
17. Display (Optional)
All information critical for Distributor operation is
displayed on this two-line LCD. When the system
is turned ON, the installed software version is dis-
played for a few seconds, after which the rst of the
operating screens is displayed. Additional screens
are used for setting up the computer. Information
messages ash over the entire display to commu-
nicate critical information.
18. SELECT Switch
(Included with optional Display)
Navigate through the display using the SELECT
switch. The selected position on the screen is
identied by the black box. The display reads like a
book, right moves right and down while left moves
left and up.
19. Function Knob
When the desired operation is selected through
this knob, all automatic valves (tank valve, 4-way
valve, bar suck back valves, return valve and bal-
ance valves) are set for the desired operation,
and the asphalt pump stops and when the PUMP
CONTROL is in AUTO the stored asphalt pump
rate target preset for the desired operation is
recalled. Changing the selection after the pump
is turning will stop the asphalt pump in AUTO or
MANUAL control. When BAR CIRCULATE is
selected, the asphalt pump rate target is calculated
based on the displayed spray width, application
rate, and the setting of the %CIRC factor. For all
positions of this switch, except BAR CIRCULATE,
the asphalt pump rate preset can be set to op-
erator preference by rst selecting AUTO PUMP
CONTROL. Then before pressing the START but-
ton, change the pump rate target to the desired
rate and then press the START button to save the
desired rate and start the pump turning.
The factory pump rate target presets are (With
Metric equivalents also):
• LOAD 100 GPM
• TANK CIRCULATE 150 GPM
• SUCK BACK 200 GPM
• FLUSH 100 GPM
• UNLOAD 100 GPM
• HAND SPRAY and AUX 50 GPM
• TRANSFER 100 GPM
• HOME 0 GPM

Note: Always refer to the truck chassis owner’s
manual for chassis and engine maintenance
information.
The following procedures apply to new or rebuilt
units.
1. Inspect the unit for damage that may have oc-
curred during transporting.
2. Check and tighten all fasteners, body tie-down
bolts, pipe and circulating line connections, etc.
that may have loosened in transit.
3. Check the uid level in the hydraulic reservoir. The
uid must always be visible in the sight glass.
WARNING
To prevent possible personal injury, do
not load the vehicle beyond the GAWR or
GVWR. The maximum load volume must be
calculated based on material density.
Setting Up the Computer
Before the Distributor is used, the control com-
puter has to to be set for each particular Distributor.
The setup screens are used to set parameters and
perform calibrations for the Distributor that the con-
trol computer is installed in. Setup is performed for
the customer at the factory and should not need to
be changed except for when major service or repair
is performed on the Distributor.
To enter the set up screens hold Memory 6 and
10 buttons down while turning the POWER switch to
ON. Then release the buttons. To exit the setup, turn
the power OFF. Any changes that are made while in
the setup screens are automatically saved.
The SELECT switch is used to navigate through
the Setup screens, while the VALUE switch is used
to change the value that is selected. The START
switch is used to initiate calibration procedures in
the Setup screens. Abbreviated instructions for
the calibration procedures are displayed for quick
recall.
First Screen
This screen allows you to set the display units
and bar control. VALUE increase from English to
get Metric. SELECT Switch to the right to enter
Bar Control. VALUE decrease from FOOT to get
GANG. Value increase from FOOT gives you VW,
VW-SMNC, VW-SMC or VW-PROX. These are all
variable width spray bar options and not to be used
with the Standard 1' Control Spray Bar.
Second Screen
This screen allows the setting of the Spray De-
lay On and Off times. The Spray Delay On is the
amount of time, in seconds, after the Master Spray
switch is turned on that the spray bar valves will be
turned on. The Spray Delay Off is the amount of
time, in seconds, after the Master Spray switch is
turned off that the spray bar valves will be turned
off. These delays allow time for the 4-way valve to
turn before open and closing the spray bar. Physi-
cal delays within the mechanical controls of these
valves may have signicantly changed and should
be addresed before making signicant deviations
from 0.20 seconds.
Third Screen
This screen allows for selection of the hydraulic
motor speed sensor pulses per revolution. The
correct setting is dependent upon displacement.
Holding the VALUE switch will not continuously
increment or decrement the value. Two values are
currently valid for the motor: 43 for 1.53 cubic inches
per revolution (CIR) motor, and 46 for both 2.1 and
2.69 CIR motors.
This screen is used to set the ow factor. The
ow factor is the calibration factor for the asphalt
pump. Changing the value from 1000 (100%) does
not change the pump ow but does change the
displayed pump rate. Values greater than 1000
increase the displayed pump rate while values less
than 1000 decrease the displayed pump rate. The
ow factor increments or decrements by 0.1% and
should only be changed when you are absolutely
sure that such a correction needs to be made.
