5.1 COMPONENT NOMENCLATURE
AND LOCATION
The Meridian Titan SR2 Seed Tender is designed
as a bulk seed transfer unit to transport large
amounts of seed into a planter or drill.
Bulk seed boxes are loaded onto the seed tender
frame. The conveyor then transfers the seed
from the seed boxes into a planter or drill. Slide

conveyor.
A gas engine and hydraulic pump mounted on
the frame powers a hydraulic motor. A reduction
case centrifugal clutch on the engine output shaft
engages when the engine speed reaches 1400
RPM. The hydraulic drive system transmits power
from the engine to the conveyor or auger. The
throttle switch is used to increase or decrease the
speed of the conveyor.
Note: The tender may be equipped with a cleated
belt conveyor or an auger. The word
"conveyor", as used in this manual, refers
to either unloading device, as equipped.
The conveyor will unload to the left side, out of the
back of the unit, or out of the front of the unit.
