SPREADER OPERATION
LITTER/MANURE OPERATION TIPS
For greatest accuracy and optimal performance:
TANK/BIN CHARGE
• The tank or bin charge feature can be used to “prime” the spreader. It will allow the apron chain to move and
push product to the beaters to take up the dead space between the gate and the beaters. The apron will run as
long as the operator presses the tank or bin charge button. The tank or bin charge feature does not add to
applied product tallies.
• With the beaters running, toggle the master switch on and press and hold the bin charge button to prime the
machine.
QUICK START:
• Similar to the Tank/Bin Charge feature, Quick Start may also be used to prime the spreader. However, Quick
Start runs for a set duration of 15 seconds and can be canceled by toggling the master switch off. Using Quick
Start will allow the system to add to applied product tallies.
• With the beater running, toggle the master switch ON and press the Quick Start button in the lower, right
corner of the RCM run page. The Quick Start feature will start the apron to run for up to 15 seconds while the
equipment remains stopped. Toggle the master switch OFF to stop if necessary. Allow the apron to run until
material starts to come out. Completing the Quick Start process will fill up the dead area between the gate and
the beaters and help ensure that material is applied when the system is enabled for in-field application.
