I have a third function valve and handle with switches for left and right angle on my snowplow blade. When I tried it out, it really flies left and right with the buttons. My question is there a way to slow down the movement? I couldn't find anything in the third function valve paperwork, but it was just an install guide really. Thanks

Third function valves are either fully open or fully closed so there is no feathering ability. What most people do is adding a couple of flow control valves to the cylinders that angle the blade.

Here is a video that explains a little better what I'm trying to say.

Get a couple of these that are the correct size for your couplers.

Get the .031 orifice. :thumbsup:

My TnT cylinders from FitRite have the restrictors on them (just a tiny hole in the fitting instead of full hose diameter). Works well & slows things down nicely.
