A. The clutch switch is a three position switch with the fol-
lowing functions:
“OFF” position: While in this position, with the engine
running, the spreader feed chain and the spinner disk will
not spin. Therefore, the spreader will not spread ice control
material.
“ON” position: While in this position, the spreader feed
chain and the spinner disk will spin with the engine run-
ning.
“BLAST” position: While in this position, with the engine
running, the spreader feed chain and the spinner disk will
spin. In this position switch can only be activated when held
into the “BLAST” position.
B. The ignition switch is a three position switch with the
following functions:
“OFF” position: While in this position, 12V DC power is shut
off to the spreader. To turn off the spreader, flip the switch
to this position.
“ON” position: While in this position, 12V DC power is
turned on to the spreader.
“START” position: While holding in this position, the
spreader’s engine starter is activated.
C. The throttle switch is a two position switch with the fol-
lowing functions:
“CHOKE/FAST” position: While in this position, the engine
speed will increase until the engine linkage reaches its
choke position.
“IDLE” position: While in this position, the engine speed
will decrease.
2. Starting the Engine
A. Verify that the clutch switch and ignition switch on the
cab control box are in the “OFF” position.
B. Turn the vehicle’s ignition to the “ON” position.
C. Press the spreader’s ignition switch to the “ON” position.
D. Press the throttle switch on the cab control box to the
“Idle” position and hold for approximately two seconds.
E. Hold the ignition switch in the “START” position.
F. While the engine is cranking, press and hold the throttle
switch to the “CHOKE/FAST” position.
G. Release the ignition and throttle switches when the
engine starts.
H. After the engine starts, hold the throttle switch to the
“IDLE” position to release the choke (hold switch for 1/2-1
seconds).
3. Stopping the Engine
A. Reduce engine RPM by holding throttle switch to the
“IDLE” position for 2-3 sec. To stop the engine, press the
ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
4. Clutch Operation
A. Start the engine and adjust the speed to slightly above
idle.
B. Push the clutch switch into the “ON” position.
C. Increase the engine RPM by pressing the throttle switch
to the “CHOKE/FAST” position.
D. It is recommended that the clutch only be engaged at the
lowest possible speed without stopping the engine. This
practice will prevent premature spinner chain failure and
chain tension loss.
E. Do not repeatedly use the “Blast” function for the clutch.
This practice will prevent premature clutch and flex coupler
failure and breakage.
