SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This symbol is used to call attention to instructions concerning personal safety. Be sure to observe
and follow these instructions. Take time to be careful!
WARNING: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS SPREADER, READ AND STUDY THE
FOLLOWING 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.
Require anyone who will operate this spreader to read and completely understand this Owner’s Manual. Give
necessary instructions!
DO NOT operate, service, inspect or otherwise handle this spreader until all operators have read this Owner’s
Manual and have been properly trained in the intended usage of the spreader.
Do not allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this spreader.
If the spreader becomes clogged, shut off the tractor engine and allow all mechanisms to stop. Disconnect PTO shaft
and hydraulic hoses (relieve hydraulic pressure). Then, clean or work on the spreader as required.
Always shut off power and disconnect PTO drive shaft and unhook hydraulic hoses (relieve hydraulic pressure) from
tractor to prevent accidental startup or unexpected movement before working on machine.
Do not clean, adjust, or lubricate while spreader is in motion.
Make sure all hydraulic fittings are tight and that all hoses are in good condition. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury. Never investigate for hydraulic leaks by
using a part of the body to feel for escaping fluid.
Inspect when first delivered and regularly thereafter; that all connections and bolts are tight and secure before operating.
Know how to stop the spreader before starting it!
Do not operate until all shields, covers, and guards are in place.
Make certain everyone is clear of the spreader before applying power.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving parts. Loose or floppy clothing should not be worn by the operator.
Stay well clear of the spreader’s rear discharge spinners while operating.
Do not step up on any part of the spreader at any time. Do not use PTO guard as a step.
Do not step over the power take-off shaft. Stay clear of the PTO at all times.
Keep PTO shaft telescoping tube shields turning freely. Keep PTO master shield on tractor. Replace shields missing
or damaged.
Never operate PTO above normal 540 or 1000 RPM rating. Tractors PTO MUST
Use only properly rated tires.

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 solidmanure (dry,pen-packed ormanure
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
NOTE: Failure to idle the tractor before disengaging the
PTO will cause roller chain over-running and damage to

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

shear bolts will always be accessible without turning
over the machine.

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 THENEXT 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.

SHAFTANDHYDRAULICHOSESBEFORE
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.

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.

Model 7200-15-
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.

Telescoping members (Key #3)-Add
grease until it adequately covers the
sliding members. Take apart
occasionally to make sure adequate
lubrication is being added.

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.
