Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces. • Always install a SMV emblem on pull-type equipment when transporting on roadways and keep clean and bright. • Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations and move to the side of the road so any following traffic may pass.
Do not remove any safety signs. Safety signs are for operator protection and information. FRONT OF SPREADER PART NO. 46-0001-22 PART NO. 46-0001-4 PART NO. 46-0001-5 PART NO. 46-0001-35 Meyer Manufacturing Corporation - 16 - PB-SXIC...

5.3 SHUTOFF & LOCKOUT POWER Any individual that will be adjusting, servicing, maintaining, or clearing an obstruction from this machine needs to ensure that this machine stays safely “OFF” until the adjustment, service, or maintenance has been completed, or when the obstruction has been cleared, and that all guards, shields, and covers have been restored to their original position.
6.0 PRE-OPERATION DO NOT allow anyone to operate, service, inspect or otherwise handle this spreader until all operators have read and understand all of the instructional materials in this Owner / Operator’s and Parts Manual and have been properly trained in its intended usage. Verify that the spreader is securely fastened to the tractor / truck.
This will operate signal, tail, clearance and brake lights. NOTE: Depending on make and model of the truck, it may be necessary to install a light converter. (Meyer part #56-0028). The converter allows signal lights and brake lights to operate according to DOT Lighting Standards.

7.0 OPERATION DO NOT allow anyone to operate, service, inspect or otherwise handle this spreader until all operators have read and understand all of the instructional materials in this Operator’s and Parts Manual and have been properly trained in its intended usage. Before operating the spreader, look in all directions and make sure no bystanders, especially small children are in the work area.
Refer to section 5.3 SHUTOFF & LOCKOUT POWER. NOTE: Unloading is best observed from the operator’s seat. 1. Move the tractor / truck and spreader to the unloading area. Meyer Manufacturing Corporation - 32 - PB-SXIC...
2. Mechanical Driven Spreader: When you are ready to begin spreading application on the field, open the 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.
7.3 SHEAR SPROCKET The Meyer Spreader you have received has been equipped with a shear sprocket design on the main auger 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.
7.5 UNHOOKING THE TRACTOR 1. Park the implement on level ground. Put the tractor controls in neutral, set the parking brake, and turn the engine off before dismounting. 2. Place wheel chocks in front and in back of the implement wheels on opposite sides to prevent the implement from rolling after the tractor is unhooked.

When replacing oiler brushes into brush holders, use regular 1/2”-20 nuts. Tighten nut finger tight initially as some adjustment may be needed later. For best results, place brush holders over top of roller chains and directly on top of sprockets. Adjust brush holders so oiler brushes are pushed down into the roller chain approximately 1/2”. Carefully tighten up the 1/2”-20 nuts on the oiler brushes.
Once contact is felt, back off the adjuster bolt on the slack adjuster 1/2 turn or until wheel turns freely without drag. Repeat the same process for the remainder of the brakes. Meyer Manufacturing Corporation - 44 -...
