Meyer EZ-Mount Classic User manual

Operation and Maintenance Manual
SNOW PLOWS

IMPORTANT NOTICE: In conjunction with FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) guidelines,
Meyer Products LLC has designed this plow package with the following guidelines:
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.
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’ warranty.
We also recommend that, for optimum performance, vehicles used for
snow plowing be equipped with:
• Four-Wheel Drive
• Minimum 60 Amp Alternator or larger
• Minimum 70 Amp Battery or larger (550 C.C.A.)
• Mud and Snow Tires
• Increased Radiator Cooling
• Automatic Transmission
• Power Brakes
• Power Steering
Under the continuing Meyer Product Improvement Plan, Meyer
Products LLC reserves the right to change design details and
construction without prior notice and without incurring any obligation.
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

CRANKSTAND STORAGE
To store Crankstand on the Lift Frame slide the tube that is
attached to the side of the Crankstand over the receiver tube on
the driver’s side of the Lift Frame. Insert the chain locking pin
through the vertical holes on both the tubes. Note: Crankstand
should always be fully retracted (up) and be pinned in the
vertical transport position when not in use. Receiver Tube
Cap may be placed over the driver side transport tube while the
Crankstand is in use on the A-Frame. The Receiver Tube Cap
may also be switched over to the Adjustment Tube of the A-Frame

DETACHING THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
Leave control switch in lower float position and push down on
the Lift Arm. Disconnect the electrical plug and slip on weather
caps over the both ends. Attach Crankstand to the adjustment
tube in the center of the A-Frame using the chained locking pin.
Caution: Crankstand must be secured at all times. Adjust the
Crankstand down until the bottom of stand touches the ground.
Pull and twist the Blue Handle Pins to disengage. If the pins do
not pull easily, adjust stand up or down slightly to remove tension
on the pins until they disengage. At this time the lift frame should
be leaning forward slightly, at rest on the top of the Crankstand.
Pull truck away.
ATTACHING THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
Check that Blue Handle Pins are disengaged. Drive the truck up
to the EZ-Mount Plus 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 attachment. Adjust the
Crankstand up until the front of the truck raises slightly. Twist Blue
Handle Pins so that the small leg re-aligns with the slot, engaging
the pins. The spring loaded pins should snap into place. Note: If
pins do not lock immediately, move truck slightly forward and/or
adjust the Crankstand up or down until pins engage, or push 5

Removing Moldboard and
Lift Frame Assembly
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. At this
time use a wood block to slide under the back of the A-Frame to
support and maintain level position for reattaching.
2. Remove right and left side hinge pins from A-Frame at center hole
in clevis frame.
3. Uncouple the hydraulic hoses and interconnect the hydraulic quick
couplers to prevent dirt contamination from getting in the system.
(requires optional coupler kit 07087C)
4. Lower the lift arm all the way down and detach the chain from the
lift arm.
5. Slowly back vehicle away.
If desired you may also remove the lift frame, lights, and electric
hydraulic pump assembly.
1. Remove right and left linch pin and hinge pin from receiver tube.
2. Unplug all electrical connections.
3. Slide entire lift frame assembly out. CAUTION: Lift frame
assembly weighs approximately 115 lbs. and to properly
manage this assembly two people are required.
To reattach moldboard and A-Frame or lift frame assembly reverse
above procedure.
10

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.

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.
17
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
Snow Plow Operation

18
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.
While angling left or right or rais-
ing the snow plow if the button is
pressed for more than four seconds the operation will be cancelled.
This feature eliminates unnecessary amp draw from the vehicle
charging system.
This switch is self diagnosing. The monitor light is located in the
upper left corner next to the float light of the control switch. When
the monitor light turns on and begins to flash the control switch is
sensing a problem with a specific coil/connection on the hydraulic
unit. The label below is on the back side of your control switch.
Reset is accomplished by turning off the ignition switch or by turn-
ing the power switch off momentarily and then back on. If the moni-
tor light is still illuminated after attempts to reset the switch have
failed, contact your nearest authorized Meyer Distributor for repairs.
