BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY PROCEDURE IN THIS
BOOK, READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE SAFETY
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION. IN
ADDITION, ENSURE ALL INDIVIDUALS WORKING
WITH YOU ARE ALSO FAMILIAR WITH THESE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
For your safety Warning and Information Decals have
been placed on this product to remind the operator
to take safety precautions. It is important that these
decals are in place and are legible before operation
begins. New decals can be obtained from Sno-Way or
your local dealer.
REMEMBER The careful operator is the best
operator. Most accidents are caused by human error.
Certain precautions must be observed to prevent the
possibility of injury to operator or bystanders and/or
damage to equipment.
NEVER operate Plow when under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or other medications that could hamper
your judgement and reactions. An accident may result in
serious injury or death to other persons or yourself.
ALWAYS operate vehicle in a well-ventilated area. The
carbon monoxide in exhaust gas is highly toxic and can
cause serious injury or death.
NEVER allow hands, hair or clothing to get near any
moving parts such as fan blades, belts and pulleys. Never
wear neckties or loose clothing when working on the
vehicle.
NEVER wear wrist watches, rings or other jewelry when
working on the vehicle or individual equipment. These
things can catch on moving parts or cause an electrical
short circuit that could result in serious personal injury.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles when working on the
vehicle to protect your eyes from battery acid, gasoline,
and dust or dirt from flying off of moving engine parts.
ALWAYS be aware of and avoid contact with hot
surfaces such as engine, radiator, and hoses.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields when
striking metal against metal! In addition, it is
recommended that a softer (non-chipable) metal material
be used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could result
in serious injury to the eye(s) or other parts of the body.
NEVER allow children or unauthorized person to
operate this unit.
NEVER exceed 45 m.p.h. when snow plow is attached
to vehicle. Braking distances may be increased and
handling characteristics may be impaired at speeds
above 45 m.p.h.
ALWAYS lock the vehicle when unattended to prevent
unauthorized operation of the plow.
ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,
obstructions and people.
NEVER exceed 10 m.p.h. when plowing. Excessive
speed may cause serious injury and damage of
equipment and property if an unseen obstacle is
encountered while plowing.
ALWAYS position blade so it does not block path of
headlamps beam. Do not change blade positions while
traveling. An incorrect plow position blocking headlamp
beam may result in an accident.
ALWAYS check surrounding area for hazardous
obstacles before operating this unit.
ALWAYS inspect the unit periodically for defects. Parts
that are broken, missing or plainly worn must be replaced
immediately. The unit, or any part of it should not be
altered without prior written approval of the manufacturer.
ALWAYS insert the cylinder lock when plow is not in
use. If the cylinder lock is not installed, the plow blade
could inadvertently drop and cause serious injury.
ALWAYS shut off the vehicle engine, place the
transmission in Neutral or Park, turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position and firmly apply the parking brake of
the vehicle before attaching or detaching the blade from
the vehicle or when making adjustments to the blade.
ALWAYS inspect lift system bolts and pins whenever
attaching or detaching the plow, and before traveling.
Worn or damaged components could result in the plow
dropping to the pavement while driving, causing an
accident.
ALWAYS keep hands and feet clear of blade and A-
Frame when attaching or detaching plow.
NEVER stand between the vehicle and blade or directly
in front of blade when it is being raised, lowered or
angled. Clearance between vehicle and blade decreases
as blade is operated and serious injury or death can
result from blade striking a body or dropping on hands or
feet.
NEVER work on the vehicle without having a fully
serviced fire extinguisher available. A 2.5 kg (5 lb) or
larger CO
2
or dry chemical unit specified for gasoline,
chemical or electrical fires, is recommended.
NEVER smoke while working on the vehicle. Gasoline
and battery acid vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid
leaks; escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin and cause a serious injury! If any
fluid is injected into the skin, see a doctor at once!
Injected fluid MUST BE surgically removed by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury or gangrene may result.
REMEMBER it is the owner’s responsibility for
communicating information on the safe use and
proper maintenance of this machine.

Pairing Receiver and Transmitter
Every transmitter has its own unique code. In order to
operate the plow or spreader, the receiver must "learn"
the transmitters code. The receiver will only function with
a transmitter it has been paired with. That way several
wireless units with different transmitter codes can function
in the same area. Each receiver can "learn" one
transmitter code.
1. Ensure vehicle bumper connection is made and
vehicle supply voltage is 12VDC. Also verify that the 14
and 4 pin (when present) connectors are connected from
the receiver module to the power unit. A red blinking LED
indicates the receiver has power and is not
communicating with a transmitter.
2. Turn the ProControl 2 Plus™ transmitter on, and put
it into Pairing Mode by pressing and holding the Down
pressure button or pairing button for at least 5 seconds,
but not more than 10 seconds. When the button is
released, the backlights will flash continuously and the
transmitter will be in pairing mode.
NOTE: Refer to "OPERATION" section for button details.
3. Place a magnet into the divot on the backside of the
receiver module. (See Figure 1-1). Remove the magnet
and the LED on the receiver will alternately flash green
and red to indicate the receiver is in pairing mode.
4. When the receiver and transmitter are paired, the DP
light (plow) or salt light (spreader) will flash three times
and the LED on the receiver will flash green three times
and then flash red. When this happens, push the DP
(down pressure) button or pairing button to exit pairing
mode.
NOTE: If the DP light or salt light on the transmitter does
not flash and the LED on the receiver does not flash
green three times before going back to flashing red, the
pairing attempt has failed. Go back to step 1 and repeat
steps.
5. After exiting pairing mode, the back lights and DP
light or salt light on the transmitter will flash alternately 4
times. Then the DP light or salt light on the transmitter will
flash three times and the signal light on the transmitter
and LED light on the receiver will change to flashing
green. Once this occurs the control is ready to use.
NOTE: Each transmitter can be paired to one plow
receiver and one salt spreader receiver at the same time.
The pairing process is the same for either receiver.

Theory of Operation
1. The Sno-Way ProControl 2 Plus™ Operating System
includes three key components. The first is a hand held
transmitter. When a switch is actuated, the ProControl 2
Plus™ transmitter sends a signal out to the snow plow
through the plow control harness indicating which
operation is to be performed, such as 'Raise', 'Swing
Right' and 'DP On'.
2. The second key part of the ProControl 2 Plus™
system is the receiver module on the plow. It receives the
signal from the ProControl 2 Plus™ transmitter and
processes the signal to open or close valves so that the
hydraulic system of the plow power unit will perform the
required operations.
3. The third key part of the ProControl 2 Plus™ is its
operation with the Energy Smart System (ESS), a
receiver module under the hood of the vehicle (See
Figure 1-9). It receives commands from the hand held
transmitter such as turning on High Beam. The receiver
module also sends commands to the receiver module on
the plow. The receiver module on the vehicle senses
what turn signal or light is on the truck, then sends
commands to the receiver module on the plow to operate
the lights.
Figure 1-9
4. 12V DC power is fed from the battery terminal of the
start solenoid to the individual valve solenoid coils and
the receiver module. The ground wires for the start
solenoid and valve coils return to the circuit board of the
receiver where switches on the circuit board open or
close the ground to complete or break the circuit to each
coil and solenoid.
NOTE: This is a ground switching system and has power
on the coils as soon as power is connected to the plow.
The receiver module energizes the coils by providing a
ground path to them.
5. 12V DC power and ground is distributed from the
receiver module to the plow lights. The lights are power
switching.
6. On ProControl 2 Plus™ wireless systems, a
rechargeable battery is located in the ProControl 2
Plus™ transmitter. This powers the circuit board of the
transmitter, supplies the low voltage power needed to
process the signal from the switches on the transmitter,
and sends a signal back to the receiver on the plow.
ProControl 2 Plus™ Operation
Basic Functions – All Plows
The ProControl 2 Plus™ transmitter contains all of the
control functions necessary for the operation of your Sno-
Way snow plow and receiver mounted salt spreader.
1. The center button just above the joystick (Figure 1-
10, A) is the power button. Press and hold the power
button for three seconds to turn on the control. To turn the

out.
Figure 1-10
2. The molded joystick cap in the center of the
ProControl 2 Plus™ transmitter (Figure 1-10, B) operates
the “Raise”, “Lower”, “Left” and “Right” functions. Pushing
joystick forward (towards the top) will “Lower” the plow.
Pulling the joystick towards the bottom will “Raise” the
plow. This is the default setting for the control. The control
can be programed to reverse the Raise and Lower
functions so that pushing the joystick forward will raise
the plow and pulling the joystick back will lower the plow
(see step 4).

3. Pushing the joystick left will cause the plow to do a
“Left” function. Pushing the joystick right will cause the
plow to do a “Right” function.
4. The button just below the joystick (Figure 1-11, C) is
the “Down Pressure” button. Pressing the button will turn
on the down pressure and an orange indicator light on
the button will glow (DP light). Pressing the button again
will turn the down pressure off.
Figure 1-11
The down pressure button is also used to reverse the
raise and lower functions. To reverse the up / down
function hold the Down Pressure button for 10 seconds.
The backlights will flash twice to indicate the change has
taken place. To return to the default setting simply press
and hold the button for 10 seconds.

Basic Functions: Salt Spreaders
The top row of buttons on the ProControl 2 Plus™
transmitter are used to control a Sno-Way tailgate
spreader.
1. The button on the top row, left of center (Figure 1-13,
G) is the on/off button for the spinner motor. To start or
stop the spinner press and release the button. When the
motor is running, the light behind the button (salt light)
will turn on. The light will blink slowly in speed step 1.
As the speed is increased, the light will blink faster until
reaching speed step 4 (top speed) where the light will be
on constant.
The salt light and DP light will flash together if there is a
jam condition and then shut off. The spinner motor always
runs at full speed (speed step 4) when it is first started.
After a few seconds it will slow to the speed step it was in
when it was stopped.
When the control is in a speed lower than speed step 4
holding the button down will put the spreader into blast
mode (speed step 4) until the button is released.
Figure 1-13
2. The button on the top row, right of center (Figure 1-
13, F) is the vibrator button. Holding the button down will
turn on the vibrator (if equipped). Releasing the button
will turn it off.
3. The button on the left of the top row (Figure 1-13, H)
is the speed reduction button. Pushing and releasing the
button will drop the spinner one speed step. There are a
total of four speed steps available.
4. The button on the right of the top row (Figure 1-13, I)
is the speed increase button. Pushing and releasing the
button will raise the spinner one speed step. There are a
total of four speed steps available.
Extended Functions: All Plows
Programming a Macro
1. A macro is a user programmable function that
remembers pre-programmed functions. Example: User
may program the plow to raise and do a left swing. This
capability is built into every ProControl 2 Plus™
transmitter and can be used with all plows. The
transmitter can store 2 macro functions.
NOTE: All macros are based on time. Macros can be pro-
grammed and reprogrammed as needed.
2. Locate the two Macro buttons (Figure 1-14) labeled A
and B. Press and hold the macro button you want to
program until the back lights flash twice (approximately
two seconds). You are now in learning mode.
Figure 1-14
3. Perform functions that are desired. The maximum
number of steps per macro is six.
NOTE: All macros are based on time. In other words, the
macro will tell the plow to open and close valves and or
solenoid at timed intervals. Therefore, when program-
ming a macro, it is best to start at the extreme positive
position to ensure the pump runs long enough to position
the plow properly. For a lower function hold the joystick in
the lower position for at least two seconds.

Operation of Snow Plow Lights Using The
Energy Smart System with ProControl 2
Plus™ (For Vehicles that don't use a Snow
Plow Interface Module Kit)
When operating the snow plow low beam and high beam
lights, the vehicle headlight switch must be placed in the
PARK position so vehicle's headlights are not on at the
same time as the snow plow lights. (Figure 1-15)
Figure 1-15
1. When the red/white (Daytime Run Light Sense) wire
senses the vehicle's DRL is powered, the marker lights
on the plow turn on.
2. When the brown (Marker Sense) wire senses the
marker light is on from the vehicle's headlight switch
being placed into the park position, the low beam and
marker lights for the snow plow turn on.
3. When the yellow (Left Turn Sense) wire senses the
turn signal is powered, the left turn signal on the snow
plow will turn on.
4. When the gray (Right Turn Sense) wires senses the
turn signal is powered, the right turn signal on the snow
plow will turn on.
5. When the high beam button is pressed on the
transmitter, the button will illuminate blue and the high
beam lights on the plow will turn on. (Figure 1-16) Press
the button again, to turn them off. For the high beams to
operate, the vehicle will need to have the vehicle's
headlights switch placed in the park position. The high
beams can be functioned whether the transmitter is on or
off.
Figure 1-16
NOTE: The high beam button on the transmitter has been
raised higher than the rest of the keypad to help the
operator easily locate it.

Operation of Snow Plow Lights Using The
Energy Smart System with ProControl 2
Plus™ (For Vehicles that use a Snow Plow
Interface Module Kit)
Use the manual supplied with your vehicle's specific Snow
Plow Interface Module (SPIM) Kit.
Start/Stop Procedure for ProControl 2
Plus™ Transmitters
To prevent the ProControl 2 Plus™ transmitter from
inadvertently and accidentally being switched off the
power button is to be held approximately 2 seconds to be
turned off.
Power Saving Mode
The ProControl 2 Plus™ transmitter uses a very small
amount of electrical current anytime it is’ On’. To minimize
current use when the ProControl 2 Plus™ transmitter is
inactive, the system has a ’Sleep’ mode to shut itself
down. If no control function is pressed for a time period of
approximately 20 minutes, the ProControl 2 Plus™
transmitter will shut down by itself. When this happens,
the power button must be pressed and held to switch the
transmitter back "ON."
Diagnostic Functions
The Transmitter, Plow Receiver, and Vehicle Receiver
has built in diagnostic capability. The following charts list
common visual signals and what they indicate.
