Specifications

5. RUNNERS (optional)
A. Inspect moldboard runners for wear and height adjustment.
B. Always replace runners as soon as they start to wear through.
C. Adjust the runners to maintain cutting edge height of 1/2”
above ground in snow plowing position. (Can be set higher when
used on gravel driveways).
6. CUTTING EDGE - REVERSIBLE
Replace the cutting edge as soon as it appears worn. This will
prevent permanent damage to the tripedge.
7. MOUNTING BOLTS
Retighten all mounting bolts after first snow plowing session and
at regular intervals through the season.
8. SNO-FLO® POWDER COATING,
both black and yellow,
should be checked at the beginning and end of each season
for any signs of rust. If any exists, use Meyer special Sno-Flo®
powder coat touch-up available in spray cans.
NO
TE: PROTECTION AGAINST RUST AND CORROSION
When the power unit is not used for extended periods, protect
the chromed lift rod by fully extending and coating it with
chassis lubricant. Coat the exposed portions of the power
angling cylinder rods with chassis lubricant to protect against
corrosion.
Post Season Summer Maintenance
1. Draining & Replacing Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid
Drain the fluid by removing the drain plug located on the bottom
of unit. To drain the fluid from the power angling cylinders,
disconnect the fittings and completely retract the cylinder rods
and purge cylinders and hoses of all hydraulic fluid. The complete
system should then be flushed out with Meyer M-2 Flushing Fluid
before adding new Meyer Hydraulic Fluid.
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-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 M-1 Hydraulic Fluid. Use of any inferior fluids
will void the Meyer warranty.
3. Refill power unit with Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid by fully
retracting
lift piston and mounting cylinder and filling reservoir
to top. Note: Do not over fill unit, over filling 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 pressurerelief valve (Filler
plug). To bleed air from the system power angle wings side to side
while maintaining a constant check on the reservoir fluid level.
Note: It may be necessary to bleed air from the Power angling
cylinders by loosening the hydraulic fittings. Extend and retract
wings until you have a steady stream of oil coming out of fitting.
Raise and lower the plow several times. With lift ram fully
retracted (down) check fluid level and replace filler plug.
