WARNING
To prevent accidental
movement of the blade, always
move the ON/OFF switch to
OFF whenever the snowplow
is not in use. The control
indicator light will turn off.
1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to
the "ON" or the "ACCESSORY"
position.
2. Move the slide switch on the side
of the control to the "ON"
position. The power indicator
light glows red, indicating the
control is ON. The indicator light
glows red whenever the control
and the vehicle ignition switch
are both ON and the electrical
connections to the snowplow are
completed.
The ON/OFF switch operates as
an emergency stop if required.
Function Time-Outs
All control functions, except LOWER/
FLOAT, time out (stop) automatically
after a period of time. This is to limit
the amount of electrical energy
required from the vehicle.
NOTE: If control function times out
before desired blade movement is
complete, release the lever to the
center position, then move back
into the desired function.
Automatic Shutdown
The control will automatically turn
OFF after being idle for 20 minutes.
To reactivate the control after a shut
down, move the ON/OFF switch to
OFF, then back to ON.
Smooth Stop
The control automatically allows the
blade to coast to a stop when the
lever returns to center position. This
results in smoother operation,
reduces the shock to the hydraulic
system and increases hose and
valve life.
Control Lever Movement
From the center position, the control
lever can be moved in one of eight
(8) directions to control various
movements of the snowplow blade.
To change from one movement of the
blade to another, the control lever
must be moved back to the center
position before selecting the desired
function. Whenever the lever is
released, it should spring back into
the center position to stop any blade
movement.
