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.

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.
