HAND-HELD CONTROL
1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to the "ON" or
"ACCESSORY" position.
2. Press the ON/OFF button on the control. The
power indicator light glows red, indicating that the
control is ON. The power indicator light glows red
whenever the control and vehicle ignition switch
are both ON and the electrical connections to the
snowplow are completed.
The ON/OFF button operates as an emergency
stop, if required.
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.
OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
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.
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. See "Smooth
Stop" later in this section for more information.
Hand-Held Control Functions

The four diamond-shaped buttons in the center of the
