OPERATION
Your snowplow is the most advanced and versatile
straight blade on the market. The easy-to-use controls
allow you to automatically adjust the plow blade into an
infinite number of plowing positions. Review the
illustrations below for instruction on maneuvering your
snowplow.
A. Lowered or Float Position
Pushing the joystick forward, toward the
"Lower/Float" designation on the label, or pushing
the "D" button on the touchpad will lower your
straight blade to the ground. Pushing and
momentarily holding the control in this position will
allow the snowplow to "float", or follow the contour
of the ground when moving forward or backward.
B. Raised Position
Pulling the joystick back, toward the "Raise"
designation on the label, or pushing the "U" button
on the touchpad will lift your straight blade off of
the ground. To stop raising the plow, simply return
the joystick to its "neutral", or center, position or
release the touchpad button. The snowplow has
reached its maximum raised position when the
blade stops lifting.
C. Angled Right Position
To angle your straight blade to the right, position
the joystick toward the "R" on the label or push the
"R" button on the touchpad. To stop angling the
plow, return the joystick to its "neutral" or center
position or release the touchpad button. The
snowplow has reached its maximum angled
position when the blade stops moving to the right
side.
D. Angled Left Position
To angle your straight blade to the left, position the
joystick toward the "L" on the label or push the "L"
button on the touchpad. To stop angling the plow,
return the joystick to its "neutral" or center position
or release the touchpad button. The snowplow has
reached its maximum angled position when the
blade stops moving to the left side.
NOTE: To prevent premature failure of the power
contactor (solenoid), return the joystick to its
neutral (center) position or release the touchpad
button immediately after the blade reaches the
limit of any position. Continuing to hold the control
after the blade has reached the limit of movement
in any position will reduce the life of the solenoid.
