Operating Traction Control (Optional)

Traction control can provide more tractive effort to wheels when one or more wheels start to "spin out". Only engage traction control when wheel(s) start to "spin out".

1. Start machine. Operate at 2600 RPM and shift to first speed range.

NOTE: Traction control can only be operated in first speed range. When traction control is engaged in first speed range, shifting to second or third speed range will automatically disengage traction control.

2. Engage traction control when wheel or wheels start to spin by pressing top of traction control switch (A). Traction control light (B) will be on when traction control is engaged.

NOTE: Traction control can be engaged while machine is moving.

3. When machine has gotten through terrain that has caused wheels to spin, disengage traction control by pressing bottom of traction control switch (A). Traction control light (B) will turn off.

IMPORTANT: Always disengage traction control when not needed. When traction control is engaged, hydraulic oil will heat up. SPRAYSTAR ™ will disengage traction control when hydraulic oil has reached 102°C (215°F) and will not allow it to be engaged until hydraulic oil has cooled.
