Owner`s manual

Meyer Products 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 important to inspect and bring 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.

IMPORTANT: Maintenance and repairs should be performed with

the moldboard on the ground.

Pre-Season Maintenance

Scheduled vehicle maintenance should be performed as recommended

by the manufacturer.

Don’t forget that in addition to keeping equipment in order:

1. Keep windshield wipers, heaters and lights working.

2. Use emergency ﬂasher lights for increased visibility and safety.

Meyer offers as standard equipment quartz halogen snow plow lights

for even brighter illumination.

3. Equip vehicles with chains where necessary.

4. Provide operators with protective clothing and with rubber gloves for

handling snow melting chemicals.

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM — For maximum efﬁciency, the

vehicle supporting the snow plow must be properly serviced. The

system should consist of at least a 70 amp/hr. battery and a 60 amp

alternator. Be sure to check regularly:

1. Battery terminals to assure they’re clean and free of corrosion.

2. Electrical connections, to assure they’re tight and corrosion-free.

Taping may be called for. All wires must be held clear of moving or

hot engine parts or sharp sheet metal.

3. Battery must be in top operating condition.

4. Alternator and regulator, to assure maximum electrical output.

NOTE: Always lower moldboard to ground when vehicle is not

in use. Check the Electro-Touch® Diagnosis Chart, page 22-
