OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
SMOOTH STOP
Smooth stop, or soft stop, allows the blade to coast
to a stop when the button/lever is released. The
result is smoother operation, reduction in shock to the
hydraulic system, and longer hose and valve life.
While there are advantages to having this feature,
there are also advantages to temporarily disabling it.
For example, disabling smooth stop allows for more
precise movements of the blade while operating close
to buildings and other obstacles.
All controls come standard with this feature ENABLED.
To enable/disable smooth stop, perform the following
steps. Performing the sequence multiple times will
toggle the feature between enabled and disabled.
Enable/Disable Procedure
1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to the "ON" or
"ACCESSORY" position. (It is not necessary to
start the vehicle.)
2. Verify that the control power indicator is OFF. If
the power indicator light is red, the control is ON.
Move the ON/OFF switch to "OFF" or push the
ON/OFF button to turn the control OFF.
3. Move and hold the control lever to the "R" position
or press and hold the R button while turning the
control ON. The power indicator light will turn ON
and the FLOAT light will ash, indicating the status
of the feature.

ONETOUCH FLOAT
One-touch FLOAT immediately activates the FLOAT
mode and releases the blade to the ground, without
having to hold the button or lever in LOWER. This
can improve transition time when backing up to plow
forward again, eliminating the time spent holding the
control and waiting for the blade to fully drop.
All controls come standard with this feature DISABLED.
To enable/disable this feature, perform the following
steps. Performing the sequence multiple times will
toggle the feature between enabled and disabled.
Enable/Disable Procedure
1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to the "ON" or
"ACCESSORY" position. (It is not necessary to
start the vehicle.)
2. Verify that the control power indicator is OFF. If
the power indicator light is red, the control is ON.
Move the ON/OFF switch to "OFF" or push the
ON/OFF button to turn the control OFF.
3. Move and hold the control lever to the "LOWER"
position or press and hold the LOWER button
while turning the control ON. The power indicator
light will turn ON and the FLOAT light will ash,
indicating the status of the feature.
