STANDARD AUTOMATION
Standard automation using the hand-held pendant is semi-automatic and is a more economical option using the driver and/or attendant to position the trailer and lower the plow. The AutoUP™ feature raises the plow for the next truck. The manual aspect of the control allows for better adaptability to irregular, tarped, and drop deck trailers.

Description
Standard automation using the hand-held pendant is semi-automatic and is a more economical option using the driver and/or attendant to position the trailer and lower the plow. The AutoUP™ feature raises the plow for the next truck. The manual aspect of the control allows for better adaptability to irregular, tarped, and drop deck trailers.
The sequence is as follows:
- Guided by an attendant, driver pulls forward and stops the trailer 12 inches past the center point of the plow.
- Attendant (or driver) presses and holds the down button on the hand-held pendant control until the plow rests on the roof of the trailer, with 1 or 2 links of slack in the hoist chain.
- When all clear, driver accelerates to 8-10 MPH to remove snow and continue to destination.
- AutoUP™ automatically raises the plow to the full-up position.
- Ground plow passes through the clearing zone to prevent buildup.
