Operate Traction Control (Optional)

A - Traction Control Switch

Traction control system is designed to provide additional tractive effort when needed. When engaged, the system provides additional oil flow to the non-spinning wheels when one or more wheels spin out. When wheel spin is observed or the operator is in a situation where wheel spin is imminent, engage the traction control system. The traction control system aids in avoiding the machine being mired; it does not keep wheels from “spinning out” when mired. Disengage system as soon as conditions allow.

1. Start machine.

   NOTE: Traction control can be operated in first, second, or third speed range. When traction control is engaged, shifting to fourth 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 switch has an internal light that 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 top of traction control switch. Traction control switch light 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.
