Meyer 7200 manual Shear Sprocket Instructions, Description

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. TRAC-

TOR’S PTO MUST MATCH IMPLEMENT PTO.

NOTE: Failure to idle the tractor before disengaging the PTO will cause roller chain over-running and damage to the chain tighteners.

NOTE: Maximum life of the PTO shaft universal joints will result if you stop the PTO while making turns at the end of the field.

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXI- MUM 80￿ TURNING ANGLE ON THE CONSTANT VE-

LOCITY PTO DRIVELINE. EXCEEDING THE TURNING ANGLE WILL DAMAGE THE CONSTANT VELOCITY “CENTER HOUSING” AND WILL EXERT EXCESSIVE PRESSURES ON THE PTO INPUT CENTER SHAFT AND RELATED BEARINGS.

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.

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 ma- chine 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.
