Specifications

Snow, despite the beauty it may impart to a bleak winter landscape,
poses the dual threat of inconvenience and danger. The environmental
conditions associated with snow, not to mention the health hazards and
economic loss it may impose, seriously endanger thousands of lives
annually. Business and industry suffer, and millions of snowbelt residents
may be affected by a single snowstorm.
Meyer Products LLC has published this manual to help you get the
maximum performance from your Meyer Snow Plow and familiarize you
with the features designed for efficiency and safety; be sure you recognize
and understand them. Follow recommended operation and maintenance
instructions, so when a storm hits, your Meyer Snow Plow will be ready
and you will know how to plow like a pro. DO NOT EQUIP ANY VEHICLE
WITH A SNOW PLOW WITHOUT CONSULTING MANUFACTURERS’
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Vehicles with Meyer Snow Plows installed may be so equipped as to
meet vehicle manufacturers’ specifications and recommended options
for snow plowing use. Most vehicle manufacturers insist that vehicles
which are to be used for snow plowing be equipped with certain
options and accessories, and it is so stated in vehicle manufacturer
specifications for snow plow application.
We also recommended that, for optimum performance, vehicles used
for snow plowing be equipped with:
• Four Wheel Drive
• Minimum 60 Amp Alternator or Larger
• Minimum 70 Battery of Larger (550 C.C.A.)
• Mud and Snow Tires
• Increased Radiator Cooling
• Automatic Transmission
• Power Brakes
• Power Steering
