If you will travel on public roads and it is legal to do so, you must know all rules governing such operation. This will include lighting and brake requirements in addition to traffic rules. You may also be required to install a safety chain device on the spreader.
Check for traffic constantly. Be sure you can see that no one is attempting to pass you and that all traffic is suffi ciently clear from you before making any turns.
USE OF SAFETY CHAIN
-
-
CAUTION: A SAFETY CHAIN MUST BE
INSTALLED TO RETAIN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN TRACTOR (OR OTHER TOWING VEHICLE) AND SPREADER WHENEVER TRAVELING ON PUBLIC ROADS IN CASE THE HITCH CONNECTION WOULD SEPARATE. A SUGGESTED ATTACHMENT IS ILLUSTRATED ON FIGURE 3.
The chain must be strong enough to hold the weight of the loaded spreader (See table on page 9). If using a grab hook at the end(s) of the chain to secure the chain to itself, a hook latch must be installed.
OPTIONAL TRUCK MOUNT SPREADERS
Depending on the make and model of the truck it may be necessary to install a light converter (MEYER PART #56-0028). Converter will allow signal lights and brake lights to operate according to DOT lighting standard. Call factory for more information.
TOWING MACHINE ATTACHING POINT
The length of the safety chain is not to be any longer than necessary to turn without interference. If any chain links or attachment hardware are broken or stretched, repair before using. Store chain so it does not corrode or become damaged. Do not use this chain for other implements because the strength and length of the chain may not be adequate. Identify this chain for use on this particular spreader. Do not use the intermediate support as the attaching point.
FREEZING WEATHER OPERATION
Allow spreader to completely empty last of manure con­tents and disengage tractor PTO. Shut off tractor, re­move the ignition key and allow all movement to stop before
attempting to clean the spreader.

When you are ready to begin spreading application on the field, open the hydraulic flow control rear gate and slowly engage the tractor PTO clutch. This can be done while traveling forward to avoid a heavier application of liquid manure at the edge of the field than desired.
For liquid and semi-liquid manure, the application rate can be controlled by the amount the flow control rear gate is opened. The gate indicator on the front of the box will provide a ready reference for the amount of opening. For solid manure (dry, pen-packed or manure containing long straw or hay) the flow control rear gate MUST be completely open since this material is not free flowing.
Check and be sure that the flow control rear gate is completely closed
When the spreader is parked for loading, shift the tractor to neutral or park and set the brakes. The moisture con tent of the manure will determine how full the spreader can be loaded so that no manure spills out.
You will probably be able to load solid manure at least level with the top of the box while semi-liquid and liquid manure will have to be less than full in the spreader box. It is unlawful to allow manure to splash or leak onto pub lic roads.
A liquid manure kit is available for installation around the top of the box on your spreader which will aid in the con tainment of liquids.

Model 7200 -12-
The rear spinners have been designed and tested to provide the best spread pattern for most liquids and semi solid manure. However, the pattern will vary for each specific condition. The factors that contribute most to differing patterns will be moisture content and the amount and length of bedding material. For most typical conditions, the spread pattern should be uniform and about 15 ft. wide. When this is the case, plan your spreading patterns so you do not have to travel over pre viously spread manure which will be slippery, resulting in poor traction. Traction on wet grass is also poor. When the resulting pattern may require that you over lap during spreading, use precautions on slopes and hills where you could experience a loss of traction by traveling over ground with previously spread manure.
NOTE: Further control of the application rate is possible by the relationship of tractor engine speed to ground speed (transmission gear selection). For optimum, trou ble-free performance it is recommended to operate at or near engine PTO speed.
When the spreader is empty, idle the tractor and stop the PTO. Close the flow control rear gate.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE PTO ABOVE
ITS NORMAL 540 or 1000 RPM RATING. TRAC­TOR’S PTO MUST

SHEAR SPROCKET INSTRUCTIONS
The Meyer Spreader you have received has been equipped with a shear sprocket design on the main au ger drive sprockets. The augers are being driven by two allen head grade 8 bolts. The design is such that if the
bolts are sheared another set of holes to install new

DANGER: AT NO TIME SHOULD INSTALLA
TION BE DONE WITH ANYONE ON THE TRACTOR. SHUT THE TRACTOR OFF, REMOVE THE KEY AND DISCONNECT THE DRIVE LINE BEFORE DOING ANY SERVICE ON THIS MACHINE. SERIOUS IN JURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF SAFETY IS NOT
FOLLOWED.
The plate sprocket is set up with the initial drive bolts being 1/2” diameter. An extra set of holes for 7/16”, 9/16” and 5/8” (dependent on age of sprocket) drive bolts are located on the sprocket if needed. If the 1/2” bolts shear, replace with the same 1/2” diameter bolts after obstruction is removed. DO NOT JUMP UP TO THE NEXT SIZE BOLT. Install the new bolts in the proper way as to drive off of the head of the bolt, not the nut.
If a second shear has happened without obstruction in the auger, install the next larger size shear bolt. As the shear bolt size is increased the protection on the ma­chine is going to decrease. The potential for equipment damage is greater. Order replacement bolts and nuts from the chart below. Sizes vary depending on sprocket. Match to holes in sprocket.

STORAGE AFTER USE
WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE
SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, OR SERVICING THIS MA CHINE. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERI­OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Before storing this spreader for an extended period of time perform the following:
Allow the spreader to completely clean out the last load. Thoroughly hose off all manure from the outside of the spreader and the inside of the box, particularly getting the flow control rear gate mechanism clean. The wash water can be drained into your manure storage pit, or if the gate is left closed, the water can be spread on the field. After cleaning, completely lubricate the entire spreader to exclude moisture from bearings and to pre vent condensation from forming during storage. See “Lubrication” pages 20 and 21.
Oil the roller chains by running the spreader at idle speed while opening the rear gate to activate the auto matic oiler system. It is also a good time to inspect all ad justments and check for parts that need repair or replacement. Performing these tasks now will guaran tee that the spreader is ready for use at the beginning of the next season.

PTO DRIVELINE
WARNING: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS SPREADER, READ AND STUDY ALL SAFETY INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO OPERATES OR WORKS WITH THE SPREADER, WHETHER FAMILY MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE, IS FAMILIAR WITH THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES (RELIEVE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE) BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS SPREADER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The Meyer 7200 Industrial Series Spreader is equipped with a cutout type clutch on the implement half of the PTO driveline. The clutch is designed to limit the amount of torque transferred to the machine through the driveline. If excessive torque is developed the clutch will disengage. A loud ratcheting sound will be heard and the transfer of power to the machine will be disrupted. To reengage the machine simply shut down the PTO and allow the driveline to come to a stop. The PTO can then be reengaged to restart the spreader. The cutout clutch will either reengage upon shut down of the PTO or just before it comes to a complete stop.
DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
The cutout clutch end of the PTO driveline must always be attached to the implement. The PTO driveline is equipped with a 1 3/8-6 spline on the implement half for attaching to the spreader. Remove the M17-hexagon bolt from the splined hub and slide the PTO onto the im plement splined input shaft. Install the hexagon bolt through the hub being sure the bolt is falling into the groove on the splined shaft. Torque tight using a metric size M17 6-point socket and torque down to 75 ft. lbs. A
M17 6-POINT METRIC SOCKET MUST BE USED AS ROUNDING OF HEXAGON BOLT AND INACCU RACY OF TORQUE SETTINGS COULD OCCUR.
If removal of the M-17 hexagon bolt is necessary, use the same M-17 6-point socket and loosen bolt one turn. Insert a ¼” drift punch in the hole on the opposite side of the hexagon bolt and tap to loosen the seated portion of the bolt from the splined hub. After bolt seat has been released, remove the bolt. If bolt is not unseated, dam­age to the hexagon bolt will occur.
Attach the shield safety chain to a suitable area on the spreader, preferably to the implement PTO steel shield.

The cutout clutch will disengage if start up is done in an abrupt or reckless manner. It also will disengage from foreign materials entering the spinner area of the spreader. It may also be possible to disengage the clutch by overloading or flooding the spinners with free flowing or liquid manure. If PTO clutch fails to reengage it will be necessary to remove the foreign object from the spreader before restarting. THERE IS NO FIELD
ADJUSTMENT ON THE CUTOUT CLUTCH.
DANGER: NEVER ENTER THE SPREADER BOX FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT FIRST STOPPING THE TRACTOR, SHUTTING THE TRACTOR OFF AND REMOVING THE KEY, SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE AND DISCONNECTING THE PTO DRIVELINE FROM THE TRACTOR. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS IN THE BOX. ROTATING AUGERS CAN CRUSH AND DISMEMBER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Adjust the drawbar at 16-20” above the ground. Extend or shorten the drawbar so horizontal distance from end of tractor PTO shaft to center of hitch pin hole is 16” for 1000 RPM 1-3/8-21 spline, (14” for 540 RPM 1-3/8-6 spline) (20” for 1000 RPM 1-3/4-20 spline). Secure the drawbar so the hitch pin hole is located directly below the PTO driveline. PTO adapters are not recommended as damage to the driveline may occur. A hitch pin with a minimum diameter of 1-5/16” and bottom retaining pin is recommended.
AN IMPROPERLY LOCATED HITCH POINT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS OF THE PTO DRIVE SHAFT. CONFORMING TO THE STANDARD 16” DRAWBAR (1000 RPM) AND PTO RELATIONSHIP WILL ENSURE THAT THE PTO DRIVESHAFT WILL NOT BECOME OVER EX TENDED. WITH INITIAL HOOK-UP TO YOUR NEW MEYER SPREADER TEST PTO TRAVEL BY TURNING EQUIPMENT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS OB SERVING THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TRAVEL DIMENSIONS AS SHOWN PER DRAWING ON FIG URE 6.
3.
Telescoping members (Key #3)-Add grease until it adequately covers the sliding members. Take apart occasionally to make sure adequate lubrication is being added.
4.
Shield bearings (Key #4)-Add 2-3 pumps.
FAILURE TO FREQUENTLY GREASE THE CV CENTER HOUSING AND TELESCOPING MEMBERS WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE CV.

LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION
A high quality Lithium Base Grease should be used
PRIOR TO USE
A. Using the CV Zerk (Key #2) place 20 pumps of
grease into the CV center housing. This should be done with the driveline / CV as straight as possible.
B. Slowly articulate the double joint through its
maximum joint angle several times.
C. Return the CV joint to its straight position and
insert additional grease into the CV Zerk (Key #2) until grease is evident around the housing and center sliding disk.
NORMAL OPERATION
A. Lubricate the following items after every eight
(8) hours of operation. If short rows and frequent turning or other demanding conditions exist, lubricate at four (4) hour intervals.
1.
Cross and bearings (Key #1)-Add grease until it is purged around the seals
2.
CV center housing (Key #2)-Add grease until it is evident around the center sliding disk.
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
It is extremely important to follow the maintenance guidelines. If telescoping members become hard to slide during normal operation, it is recommended the shaft be taken apart, cleaned with solvent and recoated with grease before re-assembling. As a minimum it is important this be done after each season of use.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES (RELIEVE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE) BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS SPREADER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
FRONT DRIVE ROLLER CHAINS
There are six roller chain drives located at the front of the spreader. Regularly check that all tensioning springs are in serviceable condition for automatic roller chain tightening. Manually adjust spring tensioners (as needed) by turning double locknuts on all tensioning bolt/idler assemblies. Proper roller chain tension is when 1/4" to ½" deflection occurs on the slack side of the chain. Regularly re-check all roller chain tensions. Keep all roller chains tight at all times! For clarity purposes, the following illustrations detail each roller chain reduction separately.
NOTE: The side bars of the roller chains will wear into the idler nylon rollers up to the rollers of the roller chain forming grooves. These grooves will serve as a guide when the roller chain loosens due to normal use. From this point on, after tightening, the idler nylon rollers should run for hundreds of hours without any noticeable wear.
