HOW TO PLOW Chain Adjustment The chain is adjustable at the lift arm. The chain must be adjusted with the controller in the down (Float) position and the lift cylinder must be pushed down as far as it will go.

Pre-season & Post-season Maintenance The Home Plow recommends this maintenance information for regular service. Sustained heavy operation may call for more frequent service. Snow plowing subjects a vehicle to exceptionally rugged use. As a result, it is very important to inspect and maintain the snow plow and vehicle up to maximum operating conditions. Inspection should be made of both the vehicle and snow plow prior to the plowing season and after each use.
Grease POST-SEASON SUMMER MAINTENANCE 1. Draining & Replacing The Home Plow Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid Drain the fluid by un-bolting the hydraulic unit from the Lift Frame and removing the Reservoir Breather. Turn the hydraulic unit upside down and drain the fluid from the reservoir.
