TURFCO T3100 APPLICATOR
Steering the Machine
Now you are ready to try the steering and driving the machine on the parking lot. Like your car, the Turfco T3100
Applicator steers uses a steering wheel. A full spin to the right will give you a full right turn and a full spin to the left
give you a full left turn.. The steering wheel is equipped with a wheel spinner knob to make this easier.
Drivethemachineinallmodes;fast,slow,turns,gure8’sandreversebacking.Onethingyoumustgetaccustomed
to is steering and stopping of the machine. Do this for at least 10 minutes before
we move on to the other controls.
●DrivetheT3100Applicatoraheadslowly10feetandmakea180ºdegreeturn
using the steering wheel. Continue doing this several times gradually increasing
thespeed.Donottrytomakeafull180ºdegreeturnatfullspeeduntilyouarewell
accustomed to the machine.
●Continuewithotherdrivingmaneuverssuchasgure“8’s”,circles,90ºdegree
turns and many 180º degree turns. The machine is designed to do a full 180º
degree turn in 9 feet, to match the effective operation width of the spread and
spray. Therefore the operator must practice this turn until they have it mastered.
To operate the Forward Speed Control Pedal, step on the
green colored pedal (located on the operators platform)
and slowly press down. Notice that as you press the pedal
the forward speed control handles are moving forward.
The further you press the pedal, the further the speed
control handles move. As long as pressure is applied on
the pedal, the speed control will remain in forward position.
●Trythis operationa numberof times soyou become
very familiar with the operation of the Forward Speed
Control Pedal. You will need to know this for later
operation of the machine.
Note: The pedal is for forward movement only, the pedal
is not for reverse.
Using 3-1/2 MPH Speed Lever (See Figure 5)
The T3100 Applicator has a 3-1/2 mph speed lever
mounted on the right hand forward/reverse speed control
handle to provide a slower ground speed. The lever limits
the amount of forward movement of the speed control
handle. Ground speed will be approximately 3-1/2 mph
(5.6 Km/h). THE 3-1/2 MPH SPEED LEVER IS FOR
SPREADING ONLY - DO NOT USE WHEN SPRAYING.
When Using the 3-1/2 MPH Speed, DO NOT TRY
To Use the Spreader and the Sprayer at the
Same Time. The Calibration and Coverage is for
Two Different Areas and they DO NOT MATCH.
●Tooperatethe3-1/2MPHspeedlever,simplymovethe
lever in a forward position and set. When the forward
speed control handle is moved forward, the lever will
touch the support bar and stop any further speed
increase. You will be going at a slower 3-1/2 mph
speed.
●Toreturntofullspeedoperation,returntheleverinthe
off position and set.
The 3-1/2 mph speed lever can be used with or without the
speed control pedal.
