Answers

Answer #1
It is designed, built and constructed in the USA. The entire support team of the Control Pro is stationed in the eastern US.

Answer #3
No, there is not an internal battery in the Control Pro. It runs from the electricity of your truck. And, if your truck battery fails, the Control Pro WILL maintain its programming and not have to be re-programmed when your vehicle battery is replaced.

Answer #5
In the dump mode, the joystick is fully proportional. That means you can "feather" the body up or down slowly or quickly. You decide by how much you move that joystick. Move it only a little and the body reacts slowly. Move it all the way and the body will move faster. Control Pro means YOU control it!

Answer #10
Turn the controller on. Put the control in manual or auto mode. Then press the "Pause" button. The spreader will remain ready to IMMEDIATELY spread material the second you press the pause button off. Then press Pause again to stop the flow IMMEDIATELY. Simple as that!
