Your SPEEDWING™ snowplow is the newest
multi-position snowplow on the market. The
easy-to-use controls allow you to automatically adjust
the snowplow blade into an in
fi nite number of plowing
positions. Review the illustrations below for instruction
on maneuvering your snowplow.
A. Lowered or Floating
Pulling the joystick back, toward LOWER, or
pushing the LOWER button on the hand-held
control, will lower your blade to the ground.
Pushing and holding the control in this position for
3/4 second will activate the FLOAT mode, causing
the blade to lower to ground surface and follow
contour of surface as it dips or raises.
B. Raised
Pushing the joystick forward, toward RAISE,
or pushing the RAISE button on the hand-held
control, will lift your blade off the ground. To stop
raising the snowplow, simply return the joystick to
the center position or release the control button.
The snowplow has reached its maximum raised
position when the blade stops lifting.
C. Angled Right
To angle your blade to the right, move the control
lever toward R or push the R button on the
hand-held control. To stop angling the snowplow,
simply return the joystick to the center position
or release the control button. The snowplow has
reached its maximum angled position when the
blade stops moving to the right side.
D. Angled Left
To angle your blade to the left, move the control
lever toward L or push the L button on the
hand-held control. To stop angling the snowplow,
simply return the joystick to the center position
or release the control button. The snowplow has
reached its maximum angled position when the
blade stops moving to the left side.
NOTE: To prevent premature failure of the power
contactor (solenoid), return the joystick to its
neutral (center) position, or release the hand-held
control button, immediately after the blade
reaches the limit of any position. Continuing to
hold the control after the blade has reached the
limit of movement in any position will reduce the
life of the solenoid.
