Control Functions
Raise, Lower, Float, Angle
Pressing the four diamond-shaped buttons in the
center of the control face will result in the blade
movements described in the table.
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 a control function times out before the
desired blade movement is complete, release
the button and press it 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 a control button is released. This
results in smoother operation, reduces the shock
to the hydraulic system, and increases hose and
valve life. For instructions on enabling/disabling
this feature, see "Smooth Stop" in this section.
