| How do I know if my vehicle is recommended for a snow plowing application? |
Only vehicles that have the vehicle manufacturer’s snow plow prep package are recommended for snow plowing.
GM uses the "VYU" option code.
Ford uses the "86M" option code.
Dodge uses the "AHH" or "AHD" option code.
Snow plowing without the original Snow Plow Preparation Package may damage your vehicle, and the added weight to the equipment may impair the operation and control of the vehicle . Snow plowing with a vehicle that the manufacturer does not recommend for that purpose may void your new vehicle warranty. If your vehicle is not originally equipped with the Snow Plow Package, additional parts may be necessary before snow plowing. Owners of these vehicles should consult their dealers before purchase or installation of such parts. CAUTION: the installation, on any vehicle, of these parts is not a full substitute for the original equipment Snow Plow Preparation Package.

| How do I select a plow best suited for my truck? |
Downsized vehicles will use the TM or TMP series plows. Examples of these vehicles include the Jeep Wrangler TJ and Cherokee, the Chevy S-10, the Dodge Dakota and the Ford Bronco II.
1/2 and 3/4 ton vehicles will use either the STL, ST or STP standard series plows. These plows are for non-commercial/personal use only.
3/4 and 1 ton vehicles, or vehicles up to 17000 GVW, will use the C or CP series commercial plows.
Vehicles 17000 to 27,000 GVW will use the HM or HMP heavy municipal series plows.
Vehicles 27,000 to 33,000 GVW will use the Aggressor series plows.

| How do I adjust the drop speed on my E-60/E-60H? |
Using an 11/16" wrench remove the plug. Insert a 3/16" allen wrench into the hole and turn the screw clockwise to decrease the drop speed, or turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase the drop speed. Always re-install the plug before operating to prevent fluid loss. |

| Will the mount from my old truck fit onto my new truck? |
Mountings are designed specifically for a particular vehicle. Dodge, Ford and GM vehicles all have different frames. Each vehicle manufacturer may use the same frame for a number of years. You will need to contact Meyer Products or a Meyer Products Distributor for particular vehicle information.

| Why is my cutting edge wearing unevenly? The plow does not sit flat on the ground when fully angled. |
This will occur when the clevis height on the vehicle is not correct. On the E-Z Mount or Custom Mount the clevis height with a TM series plow will be 9-1/2" and with an ST or a C series plow it will be 10-1/2". The clevis height is measured from the ground to the center of the pin that connects the plow to the vehicle.
On the MDII the measurement will be 11-1/4". This measurement is from the ground to the center of rear hole on clevis where the rear blue pin slides through.
Note: These measurements are taken when the plow is on the ground or off the vehicle. |
