Control Functions
Raise, Lower, Float, Angle
Moving the control lever straight up and down or
from side to side on the control body will result in
the blade movements described in the table.
Function Description of Operation
RAISE
Move the control lever toward the top of
the control body to raise the blade and
cancel the FLOAT mode. Function times
out after 3.0 seconds.
LOWER
Move the control lever toward the bottom
of the control body to lower the blade.
Release the lever to stop the blade at
desired height.
FLOAT
†
Move the control lever to the LOWER
position and hold 3/4 second to activate
this mode. The FLOAT light in the upper
right corner of the control face will
illuminate. The blade will lower to the
ground surface and follow the contour of
the surface as it dips or rises. Function
does not time out; however, the control will
shut down after 20 minutes of nonuse.
Move the lever to the
RAISE position
momentarily to cancel FLOAT. Angling left
or right will interrupt (pause) the FLOAT
function, but the FLOAT light will stay
illuminated and FLOAT will resume when
angling is complete.
Joystick Control Lever Movement
From the center position, the control lever can be
moved in one of eight directions to control various
movements of the snowplow blade. To change
from one movement of the blade to another, the
control lever must be moved back to the center
position before selecting the desired function.
Whenever the lever is released, it should spring
back into the center position to stop any blade
movement.
Moving the control lever diagonally from the
center position toward any of the four digits on
the face of the control body will operate the
SECURITY GUARD system. For instructions, see
the "SECURITY GUARD System" section.
