Cylinder Operations
On-Off Controls
• The Plow and Dump Keypad
On-Off is controlled from the
ignition on-off.
• The Spreader On-Off is
controlled by simultaneously
pushing the Auger and Liquid
knobs together.
• The Liquid Pre-wet On-Off is
controlled by simultaneously
pushing the Liquid and Spinner
knobs together.
Disabling Cylinder
Controls
You may turn-off the cylinder control pushbuttons or joystick control
as follows.
• To disable the pushbuttons, press the plow up & down simultaneously
and hold for 5 seconds. The keypad lighting will switch from green to red.
The buttons will remain red but will not operate. Repeat holding the plow
up & down to reinstate the controls.
• To disable the joystick hold the plow and scraper selection buttons
simultaneously for 5 seconds. The Plow, Dump & Scraper labels on
the panel will go off. The joystick is now dead. Repeat the sequence to
reinstate joystick control.
Plow & Dump Operations
• Push an arrowed button to operate. Up arrows will raise. Down arrows
will lower.
• Thesystemwillrespondtotherstbuttonpushedifmorethanoneis
pressed at one time.
• The backlighting on the arrowed buttons will change from green to red to
indicate the action has been successfully communicated to the valves.

• Alternating green and red lights on the arrowed buttons indicates a fault
with the attempted function. This could be a short or open circuit.
• Any operation of a plow function will generate a quick chirp when the
arrowed button is pressed.
• Any operation of a dump function will generate a continuous tone when
the arrowed button is pressed.
Joystick Operations
If your system is equipped with a joystick, it is designed to operate up
to three pieces of equipment with full proportional speed control.
• Select between Plow, Dump or Scraper operation by momentarily
pressing the appropriate button on the joystick head. The selection will
be locked in and displayed on the control panel with a lighted label (Plow,
Dump, Scraper)
• The dead-man switch trigger must be depressed before moving the
joystick and held throughout the operation. If you release the trigger the
operation will cease and you must return the joystick to center in order to
re-initiate control.

• Push and hold the Liquid control for two seconds and release to switch
from Man to Auto.
• TheAUTOlabelwillashwhenevertheMPHis“0”orthereisno
speedometer connection. This also indicates the auger is not turning.
• Select an Auger output by turning the Auger control to increase or
decreasethedisplayfrom“00”to“99”.
• If the system has been weight calibrated then the number displayed
times10indicatesthe“LBSPERMILE”tobespreadinAuto.(Ex.
Display47X10=470LBS/MILE)
• If the system has not been weight calibrated then adjust the Auger
control setting while observing the spread pattern in your mirrors. The

computation and only has meaning
to the computer.
• You should write this number down
and keep it for reference.
• If you should need to recheck the calibration of your system in the future
this is your reference.
• If you should ever need to replace a control you can insert the number
from the old into the new control on this line and avoid having to re-do a
new“WeighedDump”process.
