COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
The Rosco CSV Variable Width Chip Spreader applies
a uniform, even layer of aggregate without gaps or
overlaps. Equipped with a receiving hopper in the rear,
two belt conveyors carry aggregate to the front spread
hopper that hydraulically extends to a width of up to
16 feet. Computerized controls allow the hydraulic
discharge gates to open and close to deliver aggregate
at a constant rate, while the vibratory hopper improves
discharge uniformity. An economical means of paving
rural roads, parking lots and subdivision streets, the
CSV chip spreader is easy to operate and maintain.
Become familiar with its components before operating
this machine.
Engine
The CSV Variable Width Chip Spreader is equipped
with a Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4F diesel engine. The
air cleaner mounted on top of the machine removes
î›™ne particles such as dust, sand, and chaff. The fuel
î›™lter removes contaminants from diesel fuel before it
ows into the injection pump. The radiator mounted
in front cools the engine. The hydraulically-driven fan
removes heat, saves horsepower and reduces noise.
The fan reverses every 30 minutes to clean the radiator
and spins low RPMs when conditions permit. As the
temperature rises, the fan picks up speed.
The CSV chip spreader features the latest in engine
technology. Tier 4 engines comply with emission
requirements established by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce diesel particulate
matter (DPM) and other toxins released into the air.
Advanced emission-control devices and low-sulfur fuel
requirements--only Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
can be used in this engine--combine with new after-
treatment methods. Refer to the Engine Operator’s
Manual accompanying your chip spreader for additional
engine information.
Operator Platform
The operator platform allows easy and convenient
access for machine controls and chip spreader
functions. One person can operate the chip spreader
with ease. A dual operator station option is available.
The control panel(s) features a cover that can be closed
to protect operator control components. The control
panel column can also be tilted forward to allow more
room on the platform if needed.
Electrical System
The electrical system is powered by two 12-volt batteries
mounted in a battery compartment on the frame. Each
battery produces 12 volts DC and maintains 1000 cold
cranking amperes (CCA). An engine-mounted alternator
with 130 amperes of charging capacity keeps the
batteries charged during normal operation. The battery
charge rate can be monitored using the voltmeter on the
center operator control panel.
