The Color-Coded Operating
System
The ProPass features a unique color-coded operation
system that takes the guess-work out of setting up your
Top Dresser. Simply choose your spread, identify the
color and then adjust each setting to match that color to
get a perfect spread every time.
1. CHOOSE YOUR SPREAD
The system starts with the main operation decal found on
the tailgate of the ProPass.
This decal shows the range of spreads available and
classifies them by color. Each color represents a different
rate of application from Ultra-Light through Ultra-Heavy.
The spread density is indicated by the shaded ovals (light
through heavy). The approximate width is also indicated.
2. CHECK YOUR BLADES
The lighter spreads (BLUE PANEL) remind the operator
to ensure the spinner blades are in A POSITION.
When the blades are in A Position, the inside bolts
(closest to the center of the disc) are tight to the blade
wall and the outside bolts (closest to the edge of the disc)
are away from the blade wall.
This is critical as this position is engineered to give the
optimum spread and distribution at high speeds and low
sand volume.
For heavier settings (GOLD PANEL) the blades should
be in B POSITION to provide the best distribution at
higher volumes and slower disc speeds.
When the blades are in B Position, the inside bolts
(closest to the center of the disc) are away from the
blade wall and the outside bolts (closest to the edge of the
disc) are tight to the blade wall.
It takes only a few minutes to slide the blades into the
proper position – incorrect blade position is one of the
main reasons spread patterns fail.
3. SET ADJUSTMENTS
Once you have selected the desired spread and ensured
the blades are properly adjusted the rest of the ProPass
adjustments can be set.
Each setting is indicated on the machine by
corresponding color decals.
For example:
If you want a light dusting, the BLUE area indicates that
your tailgate, floor speed, spinner speed and base slide
adjustment should all be in their BLUE positions.
