6.2 LIGHT HOOK-UP
Truck Mounted Models: A 4 pin electrical socket is provided to connect the electrical control plug from your truck. This
will operate signal, tail, clearance and brake lights.
NOTE: Depending on make and model of the truck, it may be necessary to install a light converter. (Meyer part
#56-0028). The converter allows signal lights and brake lights to operate according to DOT Lighting
Standards.

Truck & Tractor hydraulic system should be capable of 25 GPM @ 3000 PSI peak pressure. If truck mounted, install
a relief valve set at 3000 PSI. Engine RPM should be 1500 RPM. Set up hydraulic system on Truck mounted units
using a 35-40 gallon reservoir filled with a minimum of a 30 gallons of hydraulic oil. 3/4” NPT for front and rear
hydraulic hookup.
Call the factory for further information.
