JOYSTICK CONTROL with SECURITY GUARD™ Snowplow Anti-Theft System
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.
Control Lever Movement
From the center position, the control
lever can be moved in one of eight
(8) directions to control various
movements of the snowplow blade.
To change from one movement of
the blade to another, the control
lever must be moved back to the
center position before selecting the
desired function. Whenever the lever
is released, it should spring back into
the center position to stop any blade
movement.
