Smooth Stop/Soft Stop
The smooth stop, or soft stop, feature 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 an
increase in 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 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

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
