POSTSEASON SUMMER MAINTENANCE
1. Draining & Replacing The Home Plow Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid Drain
the uid by un-bolting the hydraulic unit from the Lift Frame and removing the
Reservoir Breather. Turn the hydraulic unit upside down and drain the uid from
the reservoir. To drain the uid from the power angling cylinders(if equipped),
disconnect the ttings and completely retract the cylinder rods and purge
cylinder and hose of all hydraulic uid. The complete system should then be
ushed out with Meyer M-2 Flushing Fluid before adding new Meyer Hydraulic
Fluid. To ush the unit, re-install the hydraulic unit to the Lift Frame and hose
to the angle cylinder (if equipped). Add 1 quart of M-2 Flushing Fluid to the
reservoir and replace the Reservoir Breather. Cycle the unit Up, Down, Left and
Right 5 times in each direction. Then drain the hydraulic unit as before and
re-ll with Meyer M-1 Fluid. Check uid level after cycling plow and top o if
necessary.
2. Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid is specially formulated with an anti-ice additive
for almost constant viscosity in subzero temperatures. Because it is free-owing in
extreme cold, the unit’s performance and eciency are not aected by winter weather.
It is eective for a maximum of one year. Always carry an extra quart of Meyer M-1
Hydraulic Fluid. Use of any inferior uids will void The Home Plow warranty.
SNOW PLOW STORAGE
1. When snow plow is disconnected, disconnect lift chain from lift arm
and extend lift cylinder to end of stroke and coat chrome rod with light
grease. This lls the cylinder with hydraulic uid and protects the interior and
exterior from rust and corrosion.
2. Whenever Moldboard is disconnected, coat the exposed portions of the power
angling cylinder chrome rod (if equipped) with light grease to protect it from corrosion.
3. Coat pivot pin and other wear points with chassis lubricant. Be sure to grease all
grease holes.
4. Unplug electical connection. Coat connection with a dielectric compound to
prevent corrosion and plug into their corresponding weather plug.
Yellow and black paint is formulated
to withstand harsh temperatures and
the winter environment.
