Auto Angling Controller Operation
(Part #22846):Turn the controller on. When turned on the controller
UP and Plow DOWN switch is a 3 position switch. The plow can be raised “up” by pressing on the top
half of the Plow Up/Plow Down switch. Once released, the switch will return to the center position.
The plow can be lowered by pressing the bottom half of the Plow Up/Plow Down switch. This will
stay in the Down or “Float” position until the operator pushes the switch to the center position or
raise “Plow UP” position. When the switch is in the Down or “Float” position it will keep the S1 valve
energized which will allow the plow to remain in contact with the ground regardless of grade. When
the switch is in the center position it will not allow the plow to lower automatically when encountering a di erent grade. Make sure controller is turned o when plow is not in use.
will illuminate. The Plow
Power Angling Controller Operation
(Part #22830):Turn the controller on by holding down the on/o switch until the controller
lights up (1 second). To raise the plow press the up arrow. To angle the plow left press the left arrow
and to angle the plow right press the right arrow. The plow can be lowered by pressing the lower
(down) arrow. If the lower button is pressed for more than 1 second the plow will go into “Float”.
“Float” position will keep the S1 valve energized which will allow the plow to remain in contact with
the ground regardless of grade. Pressing the raise arrow will take the plow out of Float and will not
allow the plow to lower automatically when encountering a di erent grade. The controller has timers
built in for safety. The plow will only raise continually for 4 seconds at a time and angle left or right
continually for 6 seconds at a time. The controller will automatically shut down the function being
used if the timer values (4 seconds for raise and 6 seconds for angle) are exceeded. In order to reset
simply release the function being pressed and this will reset the timer and controller. Make sure
controller is turned o when plow is not in use.
Starting in 2011, Meyer re-branded the ALM/ARM feature on its 22830 controllers to
be Hands-Free Plowing (HFP)™. If your controller is labeled “HFP,” use these directions. When
activated, the Hands-Free Plowing (HFP) mode uses the vehicle’s shift lever to control the up/down
movement of the moldboard.
Pressing the HFP button on the controller will toggle you through:
• Back-drag Mode (default mode when active)
• Forward Plowing Mode
• On/O
Back-dragging Mode
When the controller is on and you are in the conventional plow control mode, pressing the HFP
button will activate Hands-Free Plowing (HFP). The default mode for HFP is the Back-drag Mode.
In the Back-drag Mode, the moldboard will automatically lower when you put the vehicle in reverse.
Put the vehicle in drive to automatically raise the moldboard.
Forward Plowing Mode
To activate the Forward Plowing Mode when HFP is already on, press the HFP button once. The
moldboard will automatically lower when you put the truck into drive. When you reach the end of
the run, the moldboard will automatically raise when you put the vehicle in reverse.
To turn the HFP feature o , press the HFP button until you see the HFP light goes o .

HOW TO PLOW
Chain Adjustment
The chain is adjustable at the lift arm. The chain must be adjusted with the controller in the down (Float)
position and the lift cylinder must be pushed down as far as it will go. The chain should be adjusted to
have 2-3 links of slack ( g. 39). Also if a major hydraulic malfunction is experienced the plow can be
raised by a oor jack or two people and the chain can be adjusted up with no slack. This will then suspend
the plow above ground so the vehicle can be driven to your nearest Meyer Products Service center.
Plowing (with Auto Angling)
Always plow with the storm, every 2-3” of accumulation. The Auto Angling Plow will raise and lower the
plow from inside the comfort of your vehicle and allows the plow to automatically angle to the side with
the heaviest amount of snow and when raised the plow will automatically return to the center or straight
position ( g. 40). The plow also is equipped with a xed angle pin ( g. 41) which can position the plow
to the left or right. To use the xed angle pin manually push the plow to the left or right and drop in the
xed angle pin and secure with the hair pin. Lift as high as possible, then drive through the snow to the
garage. Drop the blade and back drag away from the garage. Turn around, back into the cleared path to
the garage, set the blade in an angled position if necessary and continue rolling snow away from the
house. Complete as many passes as necessary to clear the snow. The rst storm of the season, plow back
from the drive area to allow space to pile future snowfall.
Plowing (with Power Angling)
Always plow with the storm, every 2-3” of accumulation. The Power Angling Plow will raise, lower, angle
left and angle right from inside the comfort of your vehicle ( g. 42). Enter the driveway rolling snow away
from the residence. Stop about two-thirds of the way in, set the blade in angled position, lift as high as
possible, then drive through the snow to the garage. Drop the blade and back drag away from the garage.
Turn around, back into the cleared path to the garage, reset the blade angle and continue rolling snow
away from the house. Complete as many passes as necessary to clear the snow. The rst storm of the
season, plow back from the drive area to allow space to pile future snowfall.

Pre-season & Post-season Maintenance
Meyer Products recommends this maintenance information for regular service. Sustained heavy operation may call for more frequent service. Snow plowing
subjects a vehicle to exceptionally rugged use. As a result, it is very impor tant to inspect and maintain the snow plow and vehicle up to maximum operating conditions.
Inspection should be made of both the vehicle and snow plow prior to the plowing season and after each use.
PRESEASON MAINTENANCE Scheduled vehicle maintenance should be performed as recommended by the manufacturer.
VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM For maximum e ciency, the vehicle supporting the snow plow must be properly serviced. The system should
consist of at least a 70 amp./hr. battery and a 60 amp alternator. Be sure to check regularly:
1. Battery terminals to assure they’re clean and free of corrosion.
2. Electrical connections, to assure they’re tight and corrosion free.
3. Battery must be in top operating condition.
4. Alternator and regulator, to assure maximum electrical output.
Check the Diagnosis chart Pre/Post Season Maintenance for advice on maintaining the unit.
1.
ALWAYS LOWER MOLDBOARD TO THE GROUND WHEN SNOW PLOW IS BEING SERVICED OR WHEN
VEHICLE IS NOT IN USE
2. Check and maintain hydraulic uid reservoir level to Full. Oil level should be checked with lift ram down or retracted position.
3. Check entire hydraulic system for leaks. A signi cant drop in hydraulic uid level is evidence of a leak which must be corrected to prevent serious damage.
4. Before and after each season, Grease all pins and lubricate all pivot points with chassis lube.
5. CUTTING EDGE – Replace the cutting edge as soon as it is 3-1/2” (5” is new) Tall. This will prevent permanent damage to the moldboard ( g. 43).
6. ADJUSTING TRIP SPRING TENSION – Tighten top locknut 4 turns beyond the point when spring coils begin to separate. Tighten bottom locknut to
hold eye bolt in position ( g. 44).
7. MOUNTING BOLTS – Retighten all mounting bolts after rst snow plowing session and at regular intervals through the season.
8. SNO-FLO® POWDER COATING, both black and yellow, should be checked at the beginning and end of each season for any signs of rust.
If any exists, use Sno-Flo® powder coat touch-up available in spray cans.
NOTE: PROTECTION AGAINST RUST AND CORROSION When the power unit is not used for extended periods, protect the chromed
lift rod by fully extending and coating it with chassis lubricant. Coat the exposed portions of the power angling cylinder rods with chassis
lubricant to protect against corrosion.

POSTSEASON SUMMER MAINTENANCE
1. Draining & Replacing Meyer Utility Plow Meyer M-1 Hydraulic
Fluid Drain the uid by un-bolting the hydraulic unit from the Lift Frame and
removing the Reservoir Breather. Turn the hydraulic unit upside down and drain
the uid from the reservoir. To drain the uid from the power angling cylinders(if
equipped), disconnect the ttings and completely retract the cylinder rods
and purge cylinder and hose of all hydraulic uid. The complete system should
then be ushed out with Meyer M-2 Flushing Fluid before adding new Meyer
Hydraulic Fluid. To ush the unit, re-install the hydraulic unit to the Lift Frame
and hose to the angle cylinder (if equipped). Add 1 quart of M-2 Flushing Fluid
to the reservoir and replace the Reservoir Breather. Cycle the unit Up, Down, Left
and Right 5 times in each direction. Then drain the hydraulic unit as before and
re- ll with Meyer M-1 Fluid. Check uid level after cycling plow and top o if
necessary.
2. Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid is specially formulated with an anti-ice additive
for almost constant viscosity in subzero temperatures. Because it is free- owing in
extreme cold, the unit’s performance and e ciency are not a ected by winter weather.
It is e ective for a maximum of one year. Always carry an extra quart of Meyer M-1 Hydraulic Fluid. Use of any inferior uids will void the Meyer Products warranty.
SNOW PLOW STORAGE
1. When snow plow is disconnected, disconnect lift chain from lift arm
and extend lift cylinder to end of stroke and coat chrome rod with light
grease. This lls the cylinder with hydraulic uid and protects the interior and
exterior from rust and corrosion.
2. Whenever Moldboard is disconnected, coat the exposed portions of the power
angling cylinder chrome rod (if equipped) with light grease to protect it from corrosion.
3. Coat pivot pin and other wear points with chassis lubricant. Be sure to grease all
grease holes.
4. Unplug electical connection. Coat connection with a dielectric compound to
prevent corrosion and plug into their corresponding weather plug.
