Operating speed is dictated by the terrain over which
you are traveling. Always use caution. Avoid traveling
on slopes or hills that are unsafe.
WARNING: OBSERVE ALL APPLICABLE
TRAFFIC LAWS WHEN TRANSPORTING ON
PUBLIC ROADWAYS. CHECK LOCAL LAWS FOR
ALL HIGHWAY LIGHTING AND MARKING
REQUIREMENTS.
WARNING: INSTALL AN EMBLEM ON
REAR OF SPREADER FOR TRANSPORTING ON
ROADWAYS AND KEEP THIS EMBLEM CLEAN
AND BRIGHT. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
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. You may also be required to
install a safety chain device on the spreader.
Check for traffic constantly. Be sure you can see that
no one is attempting to pass you and that all traffic is
sufficiently clear from you before making any turns.
USE OF SAFETY CHAIN
CAUTION: A SAFETY CHAIN MUST BE
INSTALLED TO RETAIN THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN TRACTOR (OR OTHER TOWING
VEHICLE) AND SPREADER WHENEVER
TRAVELING ON PUBLIC ROADS IN CASE THE
HITCH CONNECTION WOULD SEPARATE. A
SUGGESTED ATTACHMENT IS ILLUSTRATED ON
FIGURE 3.
The chain must be of adequate size to hold the weight
of the loaded spreader (See table on page 14). See
your ag cart or wagon owner / operator's and parts
book, which is also available at www.meyermfg.com. If
using a grab hook at the end(s) of the chain to secure
the chain to itself, a hook latch 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. Do not use
the intermediate support as the attaching point.
TRUCK MOUNT SPREADERS
Depending on the make and model of the truck it may
be necessary to install a light converter (MEYER
PART #56-0028). Converter will allow signal lights and
brake lights to operate according to DOT lighting
standard. Call factory for more information.
FREEZING WATER OPERATION
Allow spreader to completely empty last of manure
contents and disengage tractor PTO. Shut off tractor,
remove the ignition key and allow all movement to
stop before attempting to clean the spreader.
