The snow plow should only be in operation when the vehicle ignition
switch and the
Electro-Touch
®
control switch are in the “ON” position.
Care should be taken to insure that the
Electro-Touch
®
control switch
is kept dry and free from moisture during normal operation.
When the
Electro-Touch
®
control switch is turned “On,” yellow lights
illuminate the location of the individual touch pads for the functions of
the snow plow: (Up), (Angle Left), (Angle Right), and (Down).
Lowering of the snow plow an inch at a time is possible by tapping
the down arrow in short intervals. Holding down the
down arrow will activate a green light located in the
upper left corner of the
Electro-Touch
®
switch. This
green light indicates the snow plow is now in the
Lower/Float position. In this position the snow plow
will be able to follow the contour of the road and the
snow plow can also be angled to the left or right.
Touching the up arrow automatically cancels the
Lower/Float position.
This switch is short circuit and temperature protected.
All wire connections must be securely plugged together. If any of
these conditions exist, the red overload LED will light. The overload
LED (red light) is located in the upper left corner below the float light
of the
Electro-Touch
®
switch. Reset is accomplished by turning off
the ignition switch or by turning the power switch off momentarily
and then back on. If an overheating temperature condition exists,
it will be necessary to allow the unit to cool down for approximately
2 minutes. If the overload light is still illuminated after attempts to
reset the switch have failed, contact your nearest authorized Meyer
Distributor for repairs.
