5. Park the tow vehicle 3 m (10 ft) in front of the area
required for top dressing.
6. Ensure that the on/off pendant switches are both off.
On Wireless models ensure the control pendant
functions are stopped.
7. Ensure that the tow vehicle’s engine is at a low rpm
(revolutions per minute). Engage the tow vehicle’s
hydraulics to bring fluid to operating temperature.
8. Increase rpm of tow vehicle. Turn the option on,
using the on/off pendant or the control pendent on
Wireless models.
9. Drive forward to the area that requires top dressing,
raising the rpm of the tow vehicle to the optimal
operating range.
10. When the ProPass option is directly over the
beginning of the top dressing area, use the on/off
pendant or the control pendant on Wireless models to
turn on the conveyer belt.
11. Travel in a straight line and spread the material at a
constant speed until the spread reaches the edge of
the top dressing area.
12. Turn off the conveyor belt, turn the ProPass around,
and position it for the next pass.
13. Before making the next pass, check the spread
pattern on the ground. Adjust the ProPass settings if
necessary.
14. For Wireless models the “all start” function can be
used in place of the option start and belt start
functions as a single operation start feature. The
option will start followed by the belt.
15. Continue steps 8 to 11 until the entire area requiring
top dressing has been completed, or the hopper is
empty.
16. Turn off the conveyor belt and the option, lower the
tow vehicle’s rpm, and disengage the hydraulics.
