Access the machine control options with either the
side panel (Item 1) or secondary display (Item 2)
[Figure 4] to set the machine operation (as
applicable) for optimum performance as needed.
(See machine owners manual for accessing
control options).
Creep Control
- Set the minimum ground speed
by adjusting Creep Control to the lowest setting.
Adjust Creep Control higher as needed for
conditions and operator experience. If minimum
ground speed setting is still too fast for operating
conditions, use the brake pedal (as applicable) to
additionally slow the machine ground speed as
needed. Consult your machine dealer for
additional creep speed settings.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Flow
- Set the auxiliary
hydraulic flow to match snow blower flow rating of
15 gpm, 20 gpm, 22 gpm, 25 gpm, 30 gpm or 35
gpm. (refer to “Machine Hydraulic Rating” page 23
to determine machine flow requirements).
Auxiliary Function Continuous Flow
- use button to
enable or disable continuous auxiliary hydraulic
flow. Must be enabled prior to engaging machine
auxiliary hydraulic circuit.
Performance Mode
- use button to enable or
disable high idle engine speed. Must be enabled
(engine speed at maximum rpm) on high flow
machines (25-35) for maximum rated hydraulic
flow.
Throttle Lock
- use button to activate Throttle Lock
and maintain max engine speed to reduce
operator fatigue.
Speed Range 1
- use Speed Range 1 with Creep
Control setting to reduce operator fatigue. Adjust
creep control higher as needed for conditions and
operator experience.
