VERY IMPORTANT: THIS MACHINE IS NOT IN- TENDED TO BE A BALE GRINDER, HAY CHOPPER OR BEDDING MACHINE. LONG HAY OR STRAW MUST CONTAIN MANURE IN ORDER TO BE SPREAD. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY DAMAGE THE DRIVETRAIN AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

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 uni- form and about 15 ft. wide. When this is the case, plan your spreading patterns so you do not have to travel over previously 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 overlap 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 possi- ble by the relationship of tractor engine speed to ground speed (transmission gear selection). For opti- mum, trouble-free performance it is necessary to oper- ate 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 RPM RATING. NEVER CONNECT SPREADER PTO SHAFT TO A 1000 RPM TRACTOR PTO, UNLESS THE SPREADER IS EQUIPPED WITH A 1000 RPM OPTIONAL KIT. TRACTOR PTO MUST MATCH IMPLEMENT PTO. FAILURE TO HEED MAY

RESULT IN SPREADER DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

NOTE: Failure to idle the tractor before disengaging the PTO will cause roller chain over-running and dam- age 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

VELOCITY PTO DRIVE LINE. 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.

OPTIONAL SHEAR SPROCKET IN- STRUCTIONS

The Meyer Spreader you have received has been equipped with a shear sprocket design on the main auger drive sprockets. The au- gers are being driven by two ½” allen head grade 8 bolts. The design is such that if the bolts are sheared another set of holes to in- stall new shear bolts will always be accessi- ble without turning over the machine.

DANGER: AT NO TIME SHOULD INSTAL-

LATION BE DONE WITH ANYONE ON THE TRAC- TOR. SHUT THE TRACTOR OFF, REMOVE THE KEY AND DISCONNECT THE DRIVE LINE BEFORE DOING ANY SERVICE ON THIS MACHINE. SERI- OUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF SAFETY IS NOT FOLLOWED.

The plate sprocket is set up with the initial drive bolts being ½” diameter. An extra set of holes for 9/16” drive bolts are located on the sprocket if a additional shear strength is needed due to shear bolt failure from obstruction. If the ½” bolts shear, replace with the same ½” diameter bolts after obstruction is removed.

DO NOT JUMP TO THE 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. The two different size holes available (½ & 9/16”) are close in size. Be sure to install the proper size bolt into the

correct size hole. Shear or sprocket failure will oc- cur if assembled incorrectly!

Recommended procedure to follow if shear does occur. If only one auger shears unload the opposite side of spreader and remove obstruction from sheared side of machine. After obstruction has been removed install new shear bolts in sheared auger and unload
