HAND-HELD CONTROL with SECURITY GUARD™ Snowplow Anti-Theft System
WARNING
To prevent accidental
movement of the blade,
always push the ON/OFF
button to switch the control
OFF whenever the snowplow
is not in use. The power
indicator light will turn OFF.
CONTROL OVERVIEW
The SECURITY GUARD feature was
developed as an electrical anti-theft
system for the half-ton snowplows.
The system provides a deterrent from
theft and/or non-permitted use by
allowing you to electronically lock the
snowplow's hydraulic functions.
All half-ton snowplow controls
come equipped with the
SECURITY GUARD system. To use
this function, you must complete the
"Activation" process.
Each control is equipped with an
ON/OFF switch and an indicator
light to show when the control is
powered ON or OFF. The controls
are powered by the vehicle's battery,
so your vehicle ignition (key) switch
must be ON to use the controls.

OPERATING THE

HAND-HELD CONTROL

1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch
to the "ON" or "ACCESSORY"
position.
2. Press the ON/OFF button on the
control. The power indicator light
glows red, indicating the control
is ON. The power indicator light
glows red whenever the control
and the vehicle ignition switch
are both ON and the electrical
connections to the snowplow are
completed.
The ON/OFF button 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 control function
times out before desired blade
movement is complete, release
button and press again.
Automatic Shutdown
The control will automatically turn
OFF after being idle for 20 minutes.
To reactivate the control after a
shutdown, press the ON/OFF button.
