Operational Control Locations
Blade Trip Control
The blade trip control allows the blade to be locked
to the frame with a pin or unlocked which allows the
blade to trip when the blade hits an immovable object.
Unlocked
Locked
The unlocked position helps prevent sudden stops
caused when contact is made with sidewalk joints,
rocks, or other immovable objects. The unlocked
position should always be used for snow removal.
For heavy dozing, the pin can be installed in the
lockout hole to lock the blade trip mechanism. This
position should only be used for digging or scraping
at very slow speeds.
The V-blade will not trip with the pin in the locked
position. Power units with 2 speed transaxles
must be operated in low range. The machine
must be operated at very slow speed to prevent
personal injury or damage to the machine if an
immovable object is struck.
Blade Wing Angle
(Secondary S.D.L.A. Lever*)
The secondary S.D.L.A. lever* on the power unit
controls the angle of the blade wings. The blade
wings can be angled independently from 30° forward
to 30° backwards. The blade can be angled right
and left, swept back, and swept forward.
Blade Wing Selection
(12 Volt Switch*)
The 12 volt on/off switch* on the power unit is used
to control the 12 volt solenoid valve. The valve con-
trols the selection of the left and right blade wings.
OPERATIONAL CONTROLS
* Refer to power unit operator’s manual for operation of
power unit controls.
