OPERATING THE CONTROLLER
ON/OFF
Turns Spreader and Control on/off.
BLAST
Turns spreading mechanism to
full speed momentarily.
VIBRATE
Turns Vibrator on/off. Improves
flow and prevents “bridging.”
START/STOP
Turns spreading mechanism on/off.
Use the On/Off button to turn the spreader off between jobs. The Start/Stop pauses spreading, but the vibrator will stay on. Use Start/Stop for
when you need to pause spreading for a short time. Use Blast to momentarily increase the application rate – the spreader will operate at full
speed until the button is released.
