This feature is designed for quick in-cab switching between bar
circulate and bar suck back for units equipped with automatic tank
and bar suck back valves. When the SUCK BACK OVERRIDE
switch is ON, all automatically controlled valves are set to their
correct positions for SUCK BACK. This overrides any settings of
the Function Keypad and stops the asphalt pump when the PUMP
CONTROL switch is in AUTO.
When ON, this switch overrides the current setting of the Function
keypad in the rear panel to the SUCK BACK selection.
The SUCK BACK OVERRIDE must be OFF for the Function keypad
and the PUMP CONTROL switch to work correctly.
The following steps are performed in the cab while the Function
keypad is turned to BAR CIRCULATE.
1. Turn the SUCK BACK OVERRIDE switch ON.
2. Press START. The pump will start turning at the preset rate. 200
GPM is recommended.
3. If complete bar suck back is desired, follow the instructions for
bar suck back.
4. Turn the SUCK BACK OVERRIDE switch OFF.
5. Press START. The pump will start turning at the desired circula-
tion rate.
Note: The pump can be stopped and the automatic tank valve can
be closed immediately at any time during operation by turning the
POWER switch OFF. Before turning the POWER switch back ON,
turn the PUMP SPEED to zero if the PUMP CONTROL switch is
in MANUAL, to prevent the pump from turning.

1. SPRAY Switch
Turning this switch to ON when the Function
keypad (rear panel) is turned to BAR CIR-
CULATE or SUCK BACK, opens all activated
spray valves.
2. START Button
Starts the asphalt pump turning at the target
pump rate or starts calibration operations in
the setup screens.
3. POWER Switch
Both the POWER switch in the cab and the
EMERGENCY STOP switch in the rear panel
must be ON for the control system to be ON.
The entire system can be shut down by turn-
ing either switch to OFF. Before turning either
switch ON be sure you know what will auto-
matically activate.
4. PUMP SPEED Control Knob
When MANUAL PUMP CONTROL is selected,
turning this knob to the right (clockwise) in-
creases 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. Push Start button to activate
pump control in either manual or auto.
5. Keypad
When the desired operation is selected
through this keypad, all automatic valves -
tank valve, 4-way valve, bar suck back valves,
return valve and balance valves (Big Bar only)
- are set for the desired operation. 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 turn-
ing will stop the asphalt pump whether in AUTO
or MANUAL control.
When BAR CIRC (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 keypad, except BAR
CIRC (Bar Circulate), the asphalt pump rate
preset can be set to operator preference by
rst selecting AUTO PUMP CONTROL. Then,
before pressing the START button, change the
pump rate target to the desired rate, 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
6. 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 maxi-
mum pump speed to 400 GPM.
When the Function Keypad is set to BAR CIRC
(Bar Circulate), the pump speed is limited to a
maximum of 120 GPM.
With the switch turned to MANUAL, the as-
phalt pump speed is controlled with the PUMP
SPEED control knob.
In AUTO control, A ashes until the START but-
ton is pressed. In MANUAL control, M ashes
until the START button is pressed.
Use the Black-Topper Computator App when
spraying in MANUAL control (www.etnyre.
com).
