Meyer AG-10, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 19 / 45

The snow plow should only be in operation when the vehicle ignition
switch and the
Electro-Touch® control switch are in the "ON"
position. Care should be taken to insure that the Electro-Touch®
control switch is kept dry and free from moisture during normal
operation.
When the Electro-Touch® control switch is turned "On," yellow lights
illuminate the location of the individual touch pads for the functions of
the snow plow: (Up), (Angle Left), (Angle Right), and (Down).
Lowering of the snow plow an inch at a time is possible by tapping
the down arrow in short intervals. Holding down the down arrow will
activate a green light located in the upper left corner of the
Electro-
Touch® switch. This green light indicates the snow plow is now in
the Lower/Float position. In this position the snow
plow will be able to follow the contour of the road
and the snow plow can also be angled to the left or
right. Touching the up arrow automatically cancels
the Lower/Float position.
This switch is short circuit and temperature
protected. All wire connections must be securely
plugged together. If any of these conditions exist,
the red overload LED will light. The overload LED
(red light) is located in the upper left corner below the float light of the
Electro-Touch® switch. Reset is accomplished by turning off the
ignition switch or by turning the power switch off momentarily and
then back on. If an overheating temperature condition exists, it will

Snow Plow Operation
Removing Moldboard Assembly
(EZ Mount)
1. Be sure moldboard is on ground! The
chain can have a small amount of tension
to help support the back of the A-Frame.
2. Remove two hinge pins from A-frame at
center hole in clevis frame.
3. On snow plows equipped with power
angling, uncouple hydraulic hoses and
interconnect hydraulic quick couplers to
prevent contamination.
4. Lower lift ram all the way and detach chain from lift arm. Reverse
the above procedure to reattach snow plow to vehicle.
5. 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.
ADJUSTING CHAIN FOR PROPER SLACK WHEN PLOWING
SNOW
1. Be sure moldboard is on ground and A-frame is reattached at
center hole in clevis frame.
2. Be sure lift piston is fully retracted.
3. Hold chain taut and choose the third link above lift arm, place that
link in lift arm locking groove. This procedure will provide the
proper amount of slack when snow plowing for the moldboard to
follow the contour of the ground. You may wish to mark that link
with paint or tape for easy identification. Due to the differences in
vehicle ride heights, extra chain links may vary in length. To
prevent the extra chain links from causing damage, remove or
secure the chain links together using an electrical tie strap.
