2-1. CONTROL PANELS
The water distributor contains two control panels: the rear control panel and the remote control panel. The rear control
panel is permanently mounted in the cabinet on the right rear fender. The remote control panel is connected by a long
cable, and is intended for control of spraying operations from the cab of the towing vehicle. The remote control panel is
stored in the cabinet on the right rear fender when not in use. The two control panels are nearly identical. The visible
difference is that the rear control panel contains an ammeter to indicate condition of the engine charging system, and the
remote control panel contains a tachometer, for indication of engine speed, in place of the ammeter.
Rear Control Panel
Remote Control Panel
a. POWER Switch and Indicator Light. The POWER switch must be turned on for any other functions to operate.
Because the power can be turned on or off at either control panel, the position of the POWER switch does not indicate
whether the power is on or off. The red indicator light located directly above the power switch indicates the power is on
when illuminated, whether it is turned on at the rear control panel or the remote control panel.
b. GLOW PLUG Switch and Indicator Light. The glow plug switch turns on the engine glow plugs and illuminates
the green glow plug indicator lights on both the rear and remote control panels. This switch must be held in the ON
position until the glow plug indicator goes out, showing that the engine is ready to start. The glow plugs must always be
used before starting the engine.
