EC Declaration of Conformity

Introduction

Snow and ice, 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 and ice, 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 affected by a

single snowstorm.

Meyer Products LLC has published this

manual to help you get the maximum

performance from your Meyer spreader and

familiarize you with the features designed for

efciency and safety; be sure you recognize

and understand them. Follow recommended

operation and maintenance instructions, so

when the storm hits, your Meyer spreader

will be ready and you will know how to spread

like a pro.

DO NOT EQUIP ANY VEHICLE WITH A

SPREADER WITHOUT CONSULTING VEHICLE

MANUFACTURERS’ RECOMMENDATIONS.

Vehicles equipped with Meyer spreaders

installed may be so equipped as to meet vehicle

manufacturers’ specications and recommended

options for material spreading use. Most vehicle

manufacturers insist that vehicles which are

to be used for ice control be equipped with

certain options and accessories, and it is so

stated in vehicle manufacturer specications

for snow plow application.

WARNING: Deployment of an air bag while using

a Meyer Spreader will not be covered under Meyer

Products’ warranty. We also recommend that, for

optimum performance, vehicles used for ice control

be equipped with:

 Four-Wheel Drive

 Minimum  Amp Alternator or larger

 Minimum  Amp attery or larger ( C.C.A.)

 Mud and Snow Tires

 Increased Radiator Cooling

 Automatic Transmission

 ower rakes

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.

16 Gasoline is highly ammable and gasoline vapor is explosive. Never smoke while working on vehicle or spreader. Keep all open ames away from gasoline

tank and lines. Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately. Failure to comply will result in death or serious injury.

17 NEVER operate the spreader gasoline engine without rst CAREFULLY reading the Owner’s Manual. It is CRITICAL for your safety to ALWAYS obey EVERY warning in

the manual and follow EVERY instruction EXPLICITY. Failure to comply will result in death or serious injury.

A driver’s rst responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle and spreader. The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions

and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate mobile communication equipment such as cell phones, two way radios, etc. Failure to comply will

result in injury.

Vehicle must conform to all local, state, and national regulations regarding the use of reective markings and ashing lights. Failure to comply will result in injury.

Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personnel injury. Therefore, do not allow ames, sparks or lit tobacco to come near the battery.

When charging or working near a battery, always cover your face and protect your eyes, and also provide ventilation. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which

burns skin, eyes, and clothing. Failure to comply will result in injury.

Never transport spreader with spinner in the raised position. Failure to comply will result in property damage.

22 Installation of a Swenson spreader may aect your new vehicle warranty. Before beginning spreader installation verify mounting method is acceptable to your

vehicle manufacturer. Failure to comply will result in property damage.

23 Warranty does not apply to a Swenson spreader product which has been negligently or improperly assembled or installed. Failure to comply will result in

property damage.

24 CAUTION: To avoid harm to vehicles electrical system always disconnect battery before beginning installation. DO NOT BURN holes or WELD vehicle frame.

This may cause frame failure. Failure to comply will result in property damage.

25 CAUTION: To avoid harm to spreader electrical system always disconnect battery before beginning installation or service. Do not operate spreader with a

missing, discharged or dead battery. Failure to comply will result in property damage.

The Meyer spreader electrical system contains several automotive style fuses. If a problem should occur and fuse replacement is necessary, the replacement

fuse must be of the same type and amperage as the original. Installing a fuse with a higher rating can damage the system and could cause a re. Failure to

comply will result in property damage.

27 Spreader is not designed to be chassis mounted. Do not support spreader by body jacks alone. Spreader must be installed directly onto truck bed. Failure to

comply will result in property damage.
