CAB CONTROLS

OVERVIEW

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.
SnowEx straight blade snowplows can be
®
operated by a POWER GRIP™ 9-button hand-held
control or by a joystick-style control.
Both types of cab controls are equipped with an
ON/OFF button or switch and an indicator light to
show when the control is powered ON or OFF. The
cab control is powered by the vehicle's battery, so
the vehicle ignition (key) switch must be ON to use
the control.
Lit. No. 72188, Rev. 01
The ON/OFF button or switch allows the operator
to turn OFF the control and prevent blade movement
even when the vehicle ignition switch is ON.
The ON/OFF button or switch also serves as an
emergency stop, if required.
Controls are also used to program the
SECURITY GUARD™ anti-theft system and
activate the optional Scrape Maxx™ down
force feature (requires installation of the
84854-1 Scrape Maxx kit).
Hand-Held Control
All controls are protected by a replaceable fuse
located in the under-hood snowplow electrical
system. See "Fuse Replacement" in the
Maintenance section of the Owner's Manual.
The control is able to sense a lack of communication
with the electrical system. Should the indicator light
start to flash, refer to "Control/Cable/Plow Module
Test" in the Troubleshooting section of
this guide.
