Centurion 331020 (9-- 05)
CRUISE CONTROL/THROTTLE LOCK
Home
Go To..
The cruise control/throttle lock functions as a normal cruise control when the PTO is not engaged and functions as a throttle lock when the PTO is engaged.
The cruise control function locks the machine to a desired speed and does not work at speeds below 25 MPH (40 km/h). Refer to the truck operation manual to operate the cruise control function.
The throttle lock locks the engine to a desired RPM. To operate the throttle lock, press the sweep switch to engage the PTO. Then the throttle lock operates the same as the cruise control function with the exception of it locking the engine RPM instead of the machine speed. Refer to the Cruise Control section of the truck operation manual for more details.
OPERATION
NOTE: When the THROTTLE LOCK is operating at a higher RPM (approx 1800--2200) the transmission can shift and increase the vehicle speed.
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine unless all TENNANT and truck operation manuals are read and understood.
PTO KILL SWITCH
The PTO kill switch halts all power to the power take off shafts, sweeping functions and hopper lift functions.
Halt PTO shafts: Push the center of the PTO kill switch in until the switch ’clicks’ and remains down in the engaged position. The touch panel will display the release E--Stop alarm, and the switch will illuminate while engaged.
Restart PTO shafts: Push the center of the PTO kill switch in until the switch ’clicks’, and release the switch in the disengaged position. The light will turn off and the touch panel will return to the idle startup screen when the switch is disengaged. Press the sweep switch or PTO switch to restart the PTO shafts.
