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 and the vehicle ignition
switch are both ON and the electrical connections
to the snowplow are completed.
The ON/OFF button 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 button and
press again.
Automatic Shutdown
The control will automatically turn OFF after being
idle for 20 minutes. To reactivate the control after a
shutdown, press the ON/OFF button.
Smooth Stop
The control automatically allows the blade to coast
to a stop when the button is released. 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 triangle-shaped buttons in the center of the
control face, when pressed, will result in the blade
movements described in the table.
