6.7.2 Safety Chain
The chain must be of adequate size to hold the weight of the loaded
reloader. See your ag cart or wagon owner / operator's and parts
book, which is also available at www.meyermfg.com.
NOTE: If using a grab hook at the end(s) of the chain to secure
the chain to itself, a hook latch (Item 1) must be
installed.
The length of the safety chain is not to be any longer than
necessary to turn without interference. If any chain links or
attachment hardware are broken or stretched, repair before using.
Store chain so it does not corrode or become damaged. Do not use
this chain for other implements because the strength and length of
the chain may not be adequate. Identify this chain for use on this particular reloader.
NOTE: Do not use the intermediate support (Item 2) as the attaching point.
6.7.3 Tractor Towing Size Requirements
The minimum tractor weight when towing without implement brakes is listed below. The minimum tractor weight, up to 20

the tractor (or other towing vehicle) and implement whenever
traveling on public roads in case the hitch connection would
separate.

If you do not have a safety chain, or a replacement safety chain is
needed, see your local Meyer dealer and do not operate on public
roads until you are able to travel with the safety chain properly
installed.
