REMOVE PLOW FROM VEHICLE Raise plow and set wheels to storage position (fig. 37-39). Lower plow all the way down. On hydraulic models, put the controller into “Float” position and push down on lift arm to put slack into the lift chain (fig. 40). Disconnect electrical plug (fig. 41) and install weather covers to both end of the harness. Remove Hitch pin (fig. 40). Gently lift at “Lift Here” decal (fig. 42) and slide Lift Frame out of reciever hitch on vehicle (fig. 43). Re-install Hitch pin thru Lift Frame.
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. The chain should be adjusted to have 2-3 links of slack (fig.44). Also if a major hydraulic malfunction is experienced the plow can be raised by a floor jack or two people and the chain can be adjusted up with no slack.

PRE-SEASON & POST-SEASON MAINTENANCE The HomePlow 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.
POST-SEASON SUMMER MAINTENANCE (HYDRAULIC) 1. Draining & Replacing The HomePlow 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. To drain the fluid from the power angling cylinders (if equipped), disconnect the fittings and completely retract the cylinder rods and purge cylinder and hose of all hydraulic fluid.
