NOTE: An optional highway lighting package is available to assist in meeting these requirements. See your
Meyer dealer for details.
6.9.1 Safety Chain
The chain must be of adequate size to hold the weight of the
loaded spreader.
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 spreader.
NOTE: Do not use the intermediate support (Item 2) as the attaching point.
You must observe all applicable traffic laws when transporting on
public roadways. Check local laws for all highway lighting and
marking requirements. Failure to heed may result in serious
personal injury or death.
(Tractor Powered) Do not tow at speeds in excess of 20 mph. Failure
to heed may result in serious personal injury or death.
Verify that the rear discharge door is in the closed position before
traveling on roadways.
If you will travel on public roads and it is legal to do so, you must
know all rules governing such operation. This will include lighting
and brake requirements in addition to traffic rules.
A safety chain must be installed to retain the connection between
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
