Meyer manual Lubrication, Prior To Use, Pto Driveline, Model 8720/8865

FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PER- SONAL 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, 20” for 1000 RPM 1-3/4-20 spline. Secure the drawbar so the hitch pin hole is lo- cated 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 DRAWBAR AND PTO RELATIONSHIP SHOWN ON FIGURE 1, PAGE 8 WILL ENSURE THAT THE PTO DRIVESHAFT WILL NOT BECOME OVER EXTENDED. USE THE CORRECT SETTING FOR 14” - 540RPM 1 3/8-6, 16” - 1000RPM 1 3/8-21 OR 20” - 1000RPM 1 3/4-20. WITH INITIAL HOOK-UP TO YOUR NEW MEYER SPREADER TEST PTO TRAVEL BY TURNING EQUIPMENT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS OBSERVING THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TRAVEL DIMENSIONS AS SHOWN PER DRAWING ON FIGURE 5, PAGE 15.

LUBRICATION

LUBRICATION

A high quality Lithium Base Grease should be used

PRIOR TO USE

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.

Slowly articulate the double joint through its maximum joint angle several times.

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

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.

Cross and bearings (Key #1)-Add grease until it is purged around the seals

CV center housing (Key #2)-Add grease until it is evident around the center sliding disk.

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

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.

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.
