START-UP PROCEDURE
It is important for the operator to be familiar with all
the features and functions of the CSV Variable Width
Chip Spreader, including the DP710 digital display
system (Page 4-7), before operating the machine.
It is especially important that operators know and
understand the safety warnings in Section 1 prior
to operation and heed safety messages throughout
the content of this manual. Always inspect the chip
spreader before use for optimum operation, safety and
performance.
DO NOT leave the operator station
unattended while the chip spreader is in gear or in
motion.
Verify there are no people, obstacles
or other equipment in the machine’s path before
starting the engine and during operation.
ALWAYS wear your seat belt when
operating the chip spreader.
Use caution when mounting and
dismounting the operation platform via the ladder on
either side of this large industrial machine.
Starting the Engine
To start the machine:
1. Ensure the battery master disconnect switch is in
the ON position. The switch is located just inside
the engine access panel on the right side of the
machine.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat using the adjustment knob
on front of the seat.
3. Adjust mirror.
4. The joystick must be in the NEUTRAL (center)
position for the machine to start. (Figure 4-1)
If equipped with dual operator stations, BOTH
joysticks must be in the NEUTRAL position.
5. Ensure the Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button is
disengaged (on both control panels if equipped with
dual operator stations).
6. The park brake must be engaged or the engine will
not start.
7. Insert key into the ignition, turn clockwise to the
START position and release. The DP710 digital
display controller will activate and begin “booting”
for a few seconds. (Page 4-7)
8. After the digital display controller boots, turn key
clockwise to start the engine.
DO NOT hold the starter longer than
10 - 15 seconds. If the engine does not start, allow
the starter to cool two or three minutes.
NOTE: If equipped with dual operator stations, you
must activate the control panel on the side
you’re operating from before the machine
will move. See Page 4-8.
9. Allow engine to warm up a few minutes before
moving the machine for more efcient operation.
