Smooth Stop

Smooth stop, or soft stop, allows the blade to

coast to a stop when the button/lever is released.

The result is smoother operation, reduction in

shock to the hydraulic system, and an increase in

hose and valve life.

While there are advantages to having this feature,

there are also advantages to temporarily disabling

it. For example, disabling smooth stop allows

for more precise movements of the blade while

operating close to buildings and other obstacles.

All controls come standard with this feature

ENABLED. To enable/disable this feature, perform

the following steps. Performing the sequence

multiple times will toggle the feature between

enabled and disabled.

Enable/Disable Procedure

1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to the "ON" or

"ACCESSORY" position. (It is not necessary

to start the vehicle.)

2. Verify that the control power indicator is OFF.

If the power indicator light is red, the control is

ON. Move the ON/OFF switch to "OFF" or push

the ON/OFF button to turn the control OFF.

3. Move and hold the control lever to the

"R" position or press and hold the R button

while turning the control ON. The power

indicator light will turn ON and the FLOAT light

will flash, indicating the status of the feature.
