BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY PROCEDURE IN THISBOOK, READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE SAFETYINFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION. INADDITION, ENSURE ALL INDIVIDUALS WORKINGWITH YOU ARE ALSO FAMILIAR WITH THESESAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

For your safety Warning and Information Decals havebeen placed on this product to remind the operatorto take safety precautions. It is important that thesedecals are in place and are legible before operationbegins. New decals can be obtained from Sno-Way oryour local dealer.

REMEMBER The careful operator is the bestoperator. Most accidents are caused by human error.Certain precautions must be observed to prevent thepossibility of injury to operator or bystanders and/ordamage to equipment.

NEVER operate Plow when under the influence ofalcohol, drugs or other medications that could hamperyour judgement and reactions. An accident may result inserious injury or death to other persons or yourself.

ALWAYS operate vehicle in a well-ventilated area. Thecarbon monoxide in exhaust gas is highly toxic and cancause serious injury or death.

NEVER allow hands, hair or clothing to get near anymoving parts such as fan blades, belts and pulleys.Never wear neckties or loose clothing when working onthe vehicle.

NEVER wear wrist watches, rings or other jewelry whenworking on the vehicle or individual equipment. Thesethings can catch on moving parts or cause an electricalshort circuit that could result in serious personal injury.

ALWAYS wear safety goggles when working on thevehicle 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 hotsurfaces such as engine, radiator, and hoses.

ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields whenstriking metal against metal! In addition, it isrecommended that a softer (non-chipable) metal materialbe used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could resultin serious injury to the eye(s) or other parts of the body.

NEVER allow children or unauthorized person tooperate this unit.

NEVER exceed 45 m.p.h. when snow plow is attachedto vehicle. Braking distances may be increased andhandling characteristics may be impaired at speedsabove 45 m.p.h.

ALWAYS lock the vehicle when unattended to preventunauthorized operation of the plow.

ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,obstructions and people.

NEVER exceed 10 m.p.h. when plowing. Excessivespeed may cause serious injury and damage ofequipment and property if an unseen obstacle isencountered while plowing.

ALWAYS position blade so it does not block path ofheadlamps beam. Do not change blade positions whiletraveling. An incorrect plow position blocking headlampbeam may result in an accident.

ALWAYS check surrounding area for hazardousobstacles before operating this unit.

ALWAYS inspect the unit periodically for defects. Partsthat are broken, missing or plainly worn must be replacedimmediately. The unit, or any part of it should not bealtered without prior written approval of the manufacturer.

ALWAYS insert the cylinder lock when plow is not inuse. If the cylinder lock is not installed, the plow bladecould inadvertently drop and cause serious injury.

ALWAYS shut off the vehicle engine, place thetransmission in Neutral or Park, turn the ignition switch tothe “OFF” position and firmly apply the parking brake ofthe vehicle before attaching or detaching the blade fromthe vehicle or when making adjustments to the blade.

ALWAYS inspect lift system bolts and pins wheneverattaching or detaching the plow, and before traveling.Worn or damaged components could result in the plowdropping to the pavement while driving, causing anaccident.

ALWAYS keep hands and feet clear of blade and A-Frame when attaching or detaching plow.

NEVER stand between the vehicle and blade or directlyin front of blade when it is being raised, lowered orangled. Clearance between vehicle and blade decreasesas blade is operated and serious injury or death canresult from blade striking a body or dropping on hands orfeet.

NEVER work on the vehicle without having a fullyserviced fire extinguisher available. A 2.5 kg (5 lb) orlarger CO2 or dry chemical unit specified for gasoline,chemical or electrical fires, is recommended.

NEVER smoke while working on the vehicle. Gasolineand battery acid vapors are extremely flammable andexplosive.

NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluidleaks; escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible andcan penetrate the skin and cause a serious injury! If anyfluid is injected into the skin, see a doctor at once!Injected fluid MUST BE surgically removed by a doctorfamiliar with this type of injury or gangrene may result.

REMEMBER it is the owner’s responsibility forcommunicating information on the safe use andproper maintenance of this machine.

Programming Receiver to Learn Transmitter Code(Wireless ProControl IlTM)

NOTE: Hard-wired control systems do not require the receiver to "learn" the transmitter code. Owners with hard-wired controls can proceed to the next section.

Every transmitter has its own unique code. In order tooperate the plow, the receiver must "learn" thetransmitters code. The receiver will only function with atransmitter it has been programmed for. That way severalwireless units with different transmitter codes can functionin the same area. Each receiver can "learn" onetransmitter code.

IMPORTANT: If a plow or salt spreader receiver hasalready been paired with the transmitter, unplug thepaired receiver before pairing the next one.

1. Ensure vehicle bumper connection is made and vehicle supply voltage is 12VDC. Also verify that the 14and 4 pin (when present) connectors are connected fromthe receiver module to the power unit.

2. Turn the ProControl II™ transmitter on and put it into Pairing Mode by pressing and holding the Down pressurebutton for at least 5 seconds but not more than 10seconds. When the button is released the backlights willflash continously and the transmitter will be in pairingmode..

3. Place metal object across the 2 pin Transmitter Code Learn contacts on the receiver module. (See Figure 1-1).Remove the object and the LED on the receiver willalternately flash green and red three times. The LED willthen flash red continuously to indicate the receiver is inpairing mode.

4. When the receiver and transmitter are paired the light on the down pressure button will flash three timesand the LED on the receiver will change from flashing redto flashing green. When this happens push the downpressure button to exit pairing mode.

5. For best results it is recomended that you turn the Pro Control 2 transmitter and receiver off and then backon after pairing. To turn the receiver off simply unplugthe plow power harness, wait 10 seconds, and then plugit back in.

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.

Control Harness Installation On Plow(Hard-Wired ProControl IITM)

NOTE: Wireless control systems do not require the control harness to be installed. Wireless owners may go back to the previous section.

1. Remove the wire harness components from the bag of harness parts included in the control package.

2. Run the 4 wire harness on the receiver unit over to the main power harness. Zip tie where necessary to themain power harness. Ensure the control wire harness isrouted in the power harness clamp and continue runningwith the main power harness. Leave enough room toconnect harness to vehicle harness. Ensure the cable isclear of pinch points and latching mechanism. Anyexcess cabling should be kept and zip tied under thepump cover (See Figure 1-7 & 1-8).

Figure 1-7

Figure 1-8

NOTE: This system has no separate storage cap. It does have a male and female connector combination that allows for convenient storage when the plow is not in use. Simply plug the male and female connectors together for storage.

3. Determine a routing for the 12 ft. long harness from the vehicle bumper at the driver side of the power packthrough the vehicle engine compartment to the cab of thevehicle.

4. Look for an existing hole with a rubber grommet in the vehicle firewall. The hole must be 3/8” diameter orlarger.

5. If an existing 3/8” hole is not available, look for an area to drill that satisfies these conditions:

• DO NOT put a hole in such a spot that will force the wiring harness, when installed, to interfere or berouted behind accelerator pedal, brake pedal, clutchpedal, parking brake or associated linkage.

NOTE: If the hole has to be drilled through carpeting and/or insulation pull carpet and/or insulation back and out of the way. After hole has been drilled, mark back side of carpet and/or insulation where harness will pass through. Mark location to be cut with a "X" then, using a sharp util-ity knife, cut along the "X". Route harness through drilled hole and cut in carpet and/or insulation. Reinstall carpet and/or insulation. This will allow for a clean repair should the plow ever be removed. Simply place a piece of duct tape on the back side of the carpet and press into place. This will virtually hide the cut in the carpet where the har-ness was routed.

Theory of Operation

1. The Sno-Way ProControl II™ Operating System includes two key components. The first is a hand heldtransmitter. When a switch is actuated, the ProControlII™ transmitter sends a signal out to the snow plowthrough the plow control harness indicating whichoperation is to be performed, such as ‘Raise’, ‘SwingRight’ and ‘DP On’.

2. The second key part of the ProControl II™ system is the receiver module on the plow. It receives the signalfrom the ProControl II™ transmitter and processes thesignal to open or close valves on or off so that thehydraulic system of the plow power unit will perform therequired operations.

3. 12V DC power is fed from the battery terminal of the start solenoid to the individual valve solenoid coils andthe receiver module. The ground wires for the startsolenoid primary circuit and the coils of the valvesolenoids return to the circuit board of the receiver whereswitches on the circuit board open or close the ground tocomplete 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.

4. On wired ProControl II™ systems, a low voltage power circuit leads from the receiver to the ProControlII™ transmitter. This powers the circuit board of theProControl II™ transmitter and supplies the low voltagepower needed to process the signal from the switches onthe transmitter and send a signal back to the receiver onthe plow.

ProControl II™ OperationBasic Functions – All Plows

The ProControl II™ transmitter contains all of the controlfunctions necessary for the operation of your Sno-Waysnow plow and receiver mounted salt spreader.

1. The center button just above the joystick (Figure 1-11, A) is the power button. Press the power button to turnon the control. To turn the control off, hold the powerbutton until the backlights go out.

Figure 1-11

2. The molded joystick cap in the center of the ProControl II™ transmitter (Figure 1-11, B) operates the“Raise”, “Lower”, “Left” and “Right” functions. Pushingjoystick forward (towards the top) will “Lower” the plow.Pulling the joystick towards the bottom will “Raise” theplow. This is the default setting for the control. Thecontrol can be programed to reverse the Raise andLower functions so that pushing the joystick forward willraise the plow and pulling the joystick back will lower theplow (see step 4).

3. Pushing the joystick left will cause the plow to do a “Left” function. Pushing the joystick right will cause theplow to do a “Right” function.

Basic Functions: Salt Spreaders

The top row of buttons on the ProControl II™ transmitterare used to control a Sno-Way tailgate spreader.

1. The button on the top row, right of center (Figure 1-14, F) is the on/off button for the spinner motor. To start orstop the spinner press and release the button. When themotor is running, the light behind the button will turn on.The light will blink slowly in speed step 1.

As the speed is increased, the light will blink faster untilreaching speed step 4 (top speed) where the light will beon constant.

The light will blink alternately with the back light if there isa jam condition and then shut off. The spinner motoralways runs at full speed (speed step 4) when it is firststarted. After a few seconds it will slow to the speed stepit was in when it was stopped.

When the control is in a speed lower than speed step 4holding the button down will put the spreader into blastmode (speed step 4) until the button is released.

Figure 1-14

2. The button on the top row, left of center (Figure 1-14, G) is the vibrator button. Holding the button down will turnon the vibrator (if equipped). Releasing the button willturn it off.

3. The button on the left of the top row (Figure 1-14, H) is the speed reduction button. Pushing and releasing thebutton will drop the spinner one speed step. There are atotal of four speed steps available.

4. The buttonon the right of the top row (Figure 1-14, I) is the speed increase button. Pushing and releasing thebutton will raise the spinner one speed step. There are atotal 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: Usermay program the plow to raise and do a left swing. Thiscapability is built into every ProControl II™ transmitterand can be used with all plows. The ProControl II™transmitter can store up to 3 macro functions.

NOTE: All macros are based on time. Macros can be pro-grammed and reprogrammed as needed.

2. Locate the three Macro buttons (Figure 1-15) labled A, B, and C. Press and hold the macro button you want toprogram until the back lights flash twice (approximatelytwo seconds). You are now in learning mode.

Figure 1-15

3. Perform functions that are desired. The maximum number of steps per macro is nine.

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.

Start/Stop Procedure for ProControl II™ Trans-mitters

To prevent the ProControl II™ transmitter frominadvertently and accidentally being switched off thepower button is to be held approximately 2 seconds to beturned off.

When wireless units are turned on they must establishcommunication with the plow and/or salt spreaderreceiver. This may take several seconds. Communicationhas been established with the a plow receiver when thelight behind the down pressure button blinks three times.Communication has been established with the saltspreader receiver when the light behind the salt spreaderon/off button blinks three times.

Power Saving Mode

The ProControl II™ transmitter uses a very small amountof electrical current anytime it is ’On’. To minimize currentuse when the ProControl II™ transmitter is inactive, thesystem has a ’Sleep’ mode to shut itself down. If nocontrol function is pressed for a time period ofapproximately 20 minutes, the ProControl II™ transmitterwill shut down by itself. When this happens, the powerbutton must be pressed to switch the transmitter back"ON."

ProControl IITM Charging / BatteryMaintenance and Replacement

Your ProControl II™ transmitter uses a rechargeablebattery pack. When the battery is low, the battery light(Figure 1-16, A) will flash. To charge the battery plug thecharger into the Mini USB port at the top of the transmitter(Fig. 1-16, B).

Figure 1-16

While the transmitter is off and connected to the charger,the battery light will be on constant. While the transmitteris on and connected to the charger, the the battery lightwill blink. You can use the Pro Control II transmitter whilethe battery is charging.

NOTE: The ProControl II™ wireless transmitter uses a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. It is recommended that the transmitter not be stored in the vehicle over-night or under circumstances where the vehicle cab temperature will fall to 0°C (32°F) or below. Temperatures below this point will inhibit the battery from charging. Should this occur, allow the transmitter to warm before charging.

To preserve the life of the battery, it MUST be charged atleast once every 3 months that the transmitter is not inuse. Failure to do so will cause the battery to no longertake a charge. A new battery will need to be purchased.

Although the ProControl II™ battery is rechargeable it willrequire replacement after a finite number of chargecycles. To access the battery pack remove 4 screwssecuring the back cover. (See Figure 1-17). Remove backcover to expose battery pack.

Figure 1-17

Once battery pack is exposed, move to one side toexpose the 3 pin connector that connects the batterywires to the circuit board. (See Figure 1-18). Unplugconnector and discard old battery. For installation, followsteps in reverse.
