Meyer AG-10, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 2 / 45

Introduction
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 Inc. has published this manual to help you get
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
the 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 MANUFACTURER'S
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.
WARNING: Deployment of an air bag while using a Meyer snow
plow will not be covered under Meyer Products Inc. warranty.
We also recommend that, for optimum performance, vehicles used for
snow plowing be equipped with:
• Four-Wheel Drive
• Minimum 100 Amp Alternator or larger
• Minimum 600 C.C.A. Battery
• Mud and Snow Tires
• Increased Radiator Cooling
• Automatic Transmission
• Transmission Cooler
• Power Brakes
• Power Steering
Under the continuing Meyer Product Improvement Plan, Meyer
Products reserves the right to change design details and construction
without prior notice and without incurring any obligation.
Meyer snow plow equipment should only be used on vehicles equipped with the manufacturer's snow plow preparation packages. Snow plowing without the
original snow plow preparation package may damage your vehicle and the added weight of the equipment may impair the operation and control of the vehicle.
Snow plowing with a vehicle that the manufacturer does not recommend for that purpose may void your new vehicle warranty. If your vehicle is not originally
equipped with the snow plow preparation package, additional equipment may be necessary before snow plowing. Owners of these vehicles should consult
their truck dealers before purchase or installation of equipment. CAUTION: The installation, on any vehicle, of these parts is not a full substitute for the original
equipment snow plow preparation package.
