STRAIGHT BLADE POWER GRIP™
HAND-HELD CONTROL
1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to the "ON" or
"ACCESSORY" position.
2. Press the ON/OFF button on the control. The
power indicator light glows red, indicating the
control is ON. The power indicator light glows
red whenever the control ON/OFF switch and the
vehicle ignition switch are both ON, the electrical
connections to the snowplow are completed
and the power switch on the light tower is in the
"PLOWING" position. If the power switch is in the
"OFF" position, the power indicator light will
fl
ash.
The ON/OFF button operates as an emergency
stop, if required.
Function Time-Outs
All control functions, except LOWER/FLOAT,
automatically time out (stop) after a period of time.
This helps prevent unnecessary battery drain.
NOTE: If control function times out before desired
blade movement is complete, release button and
press again.
WARNING
To prevent accidental movement of the blade,
always push the ON/OFF button to switch the
control OFF whenever the snowplow is not in
use. The power indicator light will turn OFF.
Automatic Shutdown
The control automatically turns OFF after being idle
for 20 minutes.
Smooth Stop
The control automatically allows the blade to coast to
a stop. This results in smoother operation, reduces
the shock to the hydraulic system, and increases hose
and valve life.
Control Functions
Raise, Lower, Float, Angle
The four diamond-shaped buttons in the center of the
control face, when pressed, will result in the blade
movements described in the table.
