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.
While the operation of the WIDE-OUT, MVP PLUS and
MVP control are the same, the time-outs vary. See the
table below for each control's time-out by function.
NOTE: If control function times out before desired
blade movement is complete, release button and
ON/OFF
press again.
The control will automatically turn off after being idle

for 20 minutes.

Smooth Stop
WING
The control automatically allows the blade to coast to
a stop when the button is released. This results in
smoother operation, reduces shock to the hydraulic
system and increases hose and valve life.
