Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your plow controller mount:
- Insert Cup Holder Base: Place the cup holder base firmly into an available cup holder in your vehicle. Ensure it is seated securely and does not wobble.
- Attach Mounting Plate: The mounting plate connects the flexible arm to the controller cradle. Align the slots on the mounting plate with the corresponding tabs on the flexible arm's end and slide them together until they click into place.
- Secure Controller Cradle: Attach the controller cradle to the mounting plate. The cradle typically slides onto the plate and locks. Refer to the specific design of your cradle for precise attachment.
- Insert Plow Controller: Gently place your plow controller into the cradle. Adjust the cradle's side grips or bottom support if necessary to ensure a snug fit.
- Adjust Positioning: Use the flexible arm to position the controller at a comfortable and accessible angle. Ensure the controller does not obstruct your view or interfere with vehicle controls.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount is wobbly in cup holder. | Improper seating or cup holder size variation. | Ensure the base is fully inserted and twisted to expand if applicable. Some cup holders may require a small shim (not included) for a tighter fit. |
| Controller does not fit securely in cradle. | Cradle not adjusted correctly or controller is outside compatible dimensions. | Adjust the cradle's side grips. Verify your controller's dimensions against the product specifications for compatibility. |
| Flexible arm does not hold position. | Over-tightening or internal wear. | Avoid excessive force when adjusting. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
