Smooth Stop - Western HTS Owner's Manual

Smooth Stop

Smooth stop, or "soft" stop, allows the blade to
coast to a stop when the button/lever is released.
The result is smoother operation, reduction in
shock to the hydraulic system and an increase in
hose and valve life.
While there are advantages to having this feature,
there are also advantages to temporarily disabling
this feature. For example, to allow for more precise
movements of the blade while operating in close
distances to buildings and other obstacles.
All controls come standard with this feature
ENABLED. To enable/disable this feature, perform
the following steps. Performing the sequence
multiple times will toggle the feature between
enabled and disabled.
Lit. No. 49513, Rev. 00
