CAB CONTROLS

To prevent accidental movement of the blade,
always turn the control OFF whenever the
snowplow is not in use. The power indicator
light will turn OFF.
BLIZZARD snowplows come equipped with one of
two special controls: the POWER GRIP™ hand-held
control or a joystick-style control.
Each control has its own ON/OFF switch with an
indicator light to show when the control is powered
up. Your vehicle ignition (key) switch controls a fused
circuit that powers your cab control directly from the
battery.
The ON/OFF switch on the cab control allows you to
turn OFF the control and prevent blade movement
even when the ignition switch is ON.
The control ON/OFF switch serves as an
emergency stop if required.
All controls are protected by a replaceable fuse
located in the under hood snowplow electrical system.
See Fuse Replacement in the Maintenance section of
this Owner's Manual.
