CAUTION: Installation of a snowplow may affect your new vehicle warranty. For more information consult your Vehicle Owner’s Manual / Vehicle Dealer.
WARNING: The vehicle must not be operated when overloaded. In all cases, the loaded vehicle weight, including the entire snowplow system, all aftermarket accessories,
driver, passenger, options, nominal fluid levels, and cargo must not exceed the front/rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), and total Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
These weight ratings are specified on the safety compliance certification label on the driver’s side door opening. The use of rear ballast weight may be required to prevent
exceeding the front GAWR.
According to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) new and untitled vehicles need to be verified by the installer that snowplow and ballast (if needed) do
not exceed the front/rear GAWR and total GVWR.

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 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 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

DETACHING THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
Leave control switch in lower float position and push down on
the Lift Arm (4) approximately 1/4”. Disconnect the electrical
plug and slip on weather caps over the both ends. Remove
Safety Clip from jackstand. Push Jackstand Lever down,
until it is parallel with the cross bar of the Lift Frame, to lower
Jackstand to ground. At the same time push the top of the
Lift Frame up and towards the vehicle. Reinstall Safety Clip to
Jackstand below the lift frame. Pull, then rotate Handle so the
notch hooks onto the bracket on lift frame. The vehicle is now
free from mount and may safely back away.
ATTACHING THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
Check that the Handle Pin is disengaged. Drive the truck up
to the Drive ProTM assembly centering the hood of the truck
to the lift arm to assure proper alignment with lift frame guide
plates until contact is made. Once contact is made drive
forward, pushing the assembly a few inches. This insures
the A-Frame is square to the Clevis Frame for proper pin at-
tachment. The rear fixed Pins should now be aligned with the
rear notched hole on the clevis frame (1). Twist Handle Pin to
unlock so that the pins become spring loaded then push the
top of the Lift Frame towards the truck locking the front pins
to the clevis frame. Remove Safety Clip from jackstand. Push
Jackstand Lever down and raise Jackstand to storage posi-
tion. Reinstall Safety Clip to Jackstand above the lift frame.
Note: Wire Lynch Pin
(13) is used to Lock the
Jack Stand (3) in the
raised position once the
plow is attached to the
vehicle.
Caution: Crankstand
must be secured at all
times.

ADJUSTING CHAIN FOR PROPER SLACK WHEN
PLOWING SNOW
1. Be sure lift piston is fully retracted.
2. 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.

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 be necessary to allow the unit to cool down for approximately
2 minutes. If the overload light is still illuminated after attempts to
reset the switch have failed, contact your nearest authorized Meyer
Distributor for repairs.
Electro-Touch Control
CAUTION: When the snow plow is not in operation, the Electro
Touch® Control Switch should be in the “OFF” position.
Over-the-Road Operation
WARNING
Based on the experience of our representatives and other background,
we advise a maximum transporting speed of 40 m.p.h. or locally
regulated speeds, whichever is less, dependent upon road conditions.
The operators should, of course, maintain a safe stopping distance and
adequate passing clearance at all times.
When transporting the snow plow to avoid engine overheating, angle
the moldboard completely, carrying it as low as permitted for safety by
road and surface conditions.
Pistol Grip Controller
The snow plow should only be in operation when the vehicle ignition
switch and the control switch are in the “ON” position. Care should be
taken to insure that the control switch is kept dry and free from moisture
during normal operation.
When the control switch is turned “On,” lights illuminate the location of
the individual touch pads for the functions of the snow plow: (Up), (Angle
Left), (Angle Right) and (Down). Also when the control switch is turned
“On” the snow plow lights are activated.
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 float light located in the upper right corner of the control switch. This
