CONTROLS
OVERVIEW
The snowplow can be operated by a hand-held
control or by a joystick-style control.
Each control is equipped with an ON/OFF button
or switch and an indicator light to show when the
control is powered ON or OFF. The controls are
powered by the vehicle's battery, so the vehicle
ignition (key) switch must be ON to use the controls.
The ON/OFF button or switch on the cab control
allows you to turn OFF the control and prevent
blade movement even when the vehicle ignition
switch is ON.

The control ON/OFF button or switch serves as an

All controls are protected by a replaceable fuse
located in the under-hood snowplow electrical
system. See "Fuse Replacement" in the
Maintenance section of the Owner's Manual.
FLEET FLEX electrical system controls are
able to sense a lack of communication with the
electrical system. Should the indicator light start
to flash, refer to "Control/Cable/Plow Module Test"
in the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
WARNING
To prevent accidental movement of the
blade, always push the ON/OFF button to
switch the control OFF whenever the
snowplow is not in use. The power indicator
light will turn OFF.
