3. Meyer Hydraulic Fluid M-1 is specially formulated with an anti-ice
additive for almost constant viscosity in subzero temperatures.
Because it is free-flowing in extreme cold, the unit’s performance
and efficiency are not affected by winter weather. It is effective
for a maximum of one year. Always carry an extra quart of Meyer
Hydraulic Fluid M-1 or equal fluids. Use of any inferior fluids will
void the Meyer warranty.
4. Refill power unit with Meyer Hydraulic Fluid M-1 by fully retracting
lift piston and filling reservoir to 1-1/2” below the filler hole. On
Power Angling models, fill and bleed hoses and Power Angling
cylinders by loosening hydraulic fittings at cylinders until they leak.
Power angle the plow repeatedly from one side to the other unit
fluid flows steadily from the fittings while maintaining a constant
check on the reservoir fluid level. The filling end of the cylinder
should be higher than the piston end to facilitate removal of air.
Raise and lower the plow several times. With lift rod fully retracted
check fluid level and replace filter plug.
SNOW PLOW STORAGE
1. When snow plow is disconnected, extend lift cylinder to end
of stroke and coat chrome rod with light grease. This fills the
cylinder with hydraulic fluid 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 rods with light grease to protect
them from corrosion.
3. Be sure to reconnect optional quick couplers at the P.A. Rams to
keep them clean and prevent contamination of the system.
4. Coat all pivot pins and other wear points with chassis lubricant.
5. Unplug all electical connections at power unit. Coat all connections
with a dielectric compound to prevent corrosion and plug into
their corresponding weather plugs. Unplug the snow plow lights,
tape or use a dielectric compound at light connections to prevent
corrosion.
6. Remove EZ Mount® lift frame module from vehicle. Liberally coat
insides of clevis frame receiver tubes and ends of lift frame with
chassis grease/anti-seize lubricant. Protect clevis frame receiver
tubes from dirt and other types of contamination by installing the
receiver tube caps when the lift frame is removed from the vehicle.
7. WARNING: LIFT ARM EXTENDS BEYOND BUMPER OF
VEHICLE. TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE FROM A FRONT-END
COLLISION, LIFT ARM SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM VEHICLE
WHEN SNOW PLOW IS REMOVED.
