Introduction
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 suer, and millions of snowbelt
residents may be aected by a single snowstorm.
Meyer Products LLC has published this manual to help you get maximum
performance from your Meyer Power Box and familiarize you with the
features designed for eciency and safety; be sure you recognize and
understand them. Follow recommended operation and maintenance
instructions, so when the storm hits, your Meyer Power Box 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.
Machines with Meyer Power Box installed may be so equipped as to meet
machine manufacturers’ specications and recommended options for
snow plowing use. Most machine manufacturers insist that machines
which are to be used for snow plowing be equipped with certain
options and accessories, and it is so stated in machine manufacturer
specications for snow plow application.
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.
