System Check-Out And Joystick Configuration - Hiniker C-PLOW 8801 Operator's Manual

26 Plow Assembly
SYSTEM CHECK-OUT
NOTE: The power cable and wiring harnesses must
be connected between the snowplow and truck to
test the functions of the headlights and power unit.
Vehicle ignition must be switched on.
1. Move the headlight switch on the joystick con-
troller to the "TRUCK" position and turn on the
vehicle headlights. High and low beams should
operate on the truck.
2. Move the switch to the "PLOW" position. Plow
lights should operate in both high and low
beams. Vehicle headlights should be off.
3. Test the parking lights and turn signals. Lights
on the plow and truck should operate at the
same time.
4. In an area clear of bystanders, test joystick
functions by raising and lowering the plow,
angling the plow side to side, and working the
curl/uncurl mechanism.
Raise and lower functions may be reversed, as
follows.
JOYSTICK CONFIGURATION
As supplied from the factory, the snowplow con-
troller raises the plow when the joystick is pulled
backward and lowers the plow when the joystick is
pushed forward.
These functions can be reversed by reassembling
the joystick switch and face plate.
To reverse the face plate, pry the plate away from
the controller by inserting a small screwdriver along
the side of the plate at location 1 in drawing 5990.
Flip the plate over, then reinstall by gently squeez-
ing the long sides together and sliding the four tabs
into slots in the controller top.
To reverse the joystick switch, remove four screws
from the back of the controller and remove the main
circuit board assembly from the case halves.
Gently pull on the edges of the small circuit board
at the base of the joystick switch to remove the
switch from the five pins on the main circuit board.
Rotate the switch 90 O , then gently push the switch
back onto the five pins.
Insert the main circuit board assembly back into
the case top, making sure the joystick is properly
seated and the harness strain relief is inside the
case.
Reassemble the case with the four screws, check-
ing that wires are not pinched between bosses.
Test the controller on the snowplow or a plow tes-
ter to verify that raise and lower functions match
arrows on the face plate.
