SPEEDWING™ BLADE
JOYSTICK SOLENOID CONTROL
WARNING
To prevent accidental movement of the blade,
always move the ON/OFF switch to OFF
whenever the snowplow is not in use. The
power indicator light will turn OFF.
CAUTION
DO NOT hold control lever in RAISE, ANGLE
LEFT or ANGLE RIGHT position after blade
has reached desired position. To do so will
use excess current and overheat components.
1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to the "ON" or
"ACCESSORY" position.
2. Move the control ON/OFF switch to the "ON"
position. The power indicator light will glow red,
indicating that the control is ON. The power
indicator light glows red whenever the control
and the vehicle ignition switch are both ON,
the electrical connections to the snowplow are
completed and the power switch on the light tower
is in the "PLOWING" position. If the power switch
is in the "OFF" position, the power indicator light
will fl ash.
The ON/OFF switch 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
lever to the center position, then move it back to
the desired function.

Automatic Shutdown
The control will automatically turn OFF after being
idle for 20 minutes. To reactivate the control after a
shutdown, move the ON/OFF switch to OFF, then back
to ON.
Smooth Stop
The control automatically allows the blade to coast to
a stop when the lever returns to center position. This
results in smoother operation, reduces the shock to
the hydraulic system and increases hose and valve
life.
