POST-SEASON MAINTENANCE
Meyer Hydraulic Fluid M-1.
Meyer Hydraulic Fluid M-1 is a specially formulated
mineral oil which maintains an almost constant
viscosity from normal to sub-zero temperatures.
Because it remains free flowing at extremely low
temperatures, the performance and efficiency are
not affected.
Meyer Hydraulic Fluid M-1 also contains an additive
which neutralizes moisture accumulating in the fluid
due to condensation. It is effective for a maximum of
one year’s use.
Meyer Products Inc. will not be liable for damages
resulting from the use of inferior or other fluids
or oils.
