1. Draining & Replacing Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid
Drain the uid by removing the drain plug located on the bottom of unit. To drain the uid from the power
angling cylinders, disconnect the ttings and completely retract the cylinder rods and purge cylinders
and hoses of all hydraulic uid. The complete system should then be ushed out with Meyer M-2
Flushing Fluid before adding new Meyer Hydraulic Fluid.
2. Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid (#15134) 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 eciency are not aected by winter weather. It is eective 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 Meyer
warranty.
3. Rell power unit with Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid by fully retracting lift piston and lling reservoir to
top. Note: Do not over ll unit, over lling unit will cause oil to squirt out of the reservoir pressure
relief valve. Power angling rams should be collapsed. Install Hydraulic unit and Moldboard assembly
on vehicle. Remove reservoir pressure relief valve (Filler plug). To bleed air from the system power
angle wings side to side while maintaining a constant check on the reservoir uid level. Note: It may be
necessary to bleed air from the Power angling cylinders by loosening the hydraulic ttings. Angle plow
left and right until you have a steady stream of oil coming out of tting. Raise and lower the plow several
times. With lift ram fully retracted (down) check uid level and replace ller plug.
