6. PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 MACHINE BREAK-IN PERIOD
A special break-in procedure has been developed
to ensure the integrity of the seed tender when
fi rst put into service. Follow the Before Starting
instructions and then follow the Inspections for 1/2,
5, and 10 Hours instructions at the appropriate
interval.
After completing these instructions, follow the
normal service schedule in the Maintenance
section and engine manual.
6.1.1 Before Starting
1. Read and follow the instructions in the Honda ®
engine and the Meridian Operator’s Manuals.
2. Review and follow the Pre-operation Checklist
before starting machine.
3. Initially check wheel bolt torque and then
again at 50 miles. Refer to “10.6 Wheel Bolt
Torque Requirements” on page 52 in this
manual for tightening instructions.
4. Start the engine and check the controls. Be
sure that they function properly.
6.1.2 Inspections for 1/2, 5, and 10
Hours
1. Recheck machine fl uid levels. Refi ll as
required.
2. Recheck the tension and alignment of the
conveyor belts.
3. Recheck hardware and fasteners; frame to
trailer tie-downs, all fasteners, and wheel
bolts. Tighten to their specifi ed torque.
4. At 10 hours, change the engine oil with the
specifi ed oil.
6.2 PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Effi cient and safe operation of the Meridian Bulk
Seed Tender system requires that each operator
reads and follows the operating procedures and all
related safety precautions outlined in this section.
A pre-operational checklist is provided for the
operator. It is important for both personal safety
and maintaining the effi cient operation of the
delivery system that this checklist be followed.
Before operating the delivery system and each
time thereafter, the following areas should be
checked:
1. Lubricate the machine, as shown in the
Grease/Lubrication Location Diagram. Refer
to “9.1 Greasing” on page 42 in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Follow
the prescribed schedule.
Check the engine fuel and crankcase oil levels.
Add as required. “10.3 Engine” on page 47
NOTICE
The engine is equipped with a shutoff system to
prevent engine damage caused by an insuffi cient
amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in
the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the indicator
(red) comes on and the engine will automatically stop
(the engine switch will remain in the ON position).
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the en-
gine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.
2. Check hardware and fasteners; seed tender
frame to trailer tie-downs, hitch bolts, trailer
hitch to trailer bolts, and all other fasteners.
Tighten to their specifi ed torque. Refer to
“4.2.1 Bolt Torque Values” on page 23.
3. Make sure the wheel bolt lug nuts are
tight. Refer to “10.6 Wheel Bolt Torque
Requirements” on page 52.
4. Check the tires and ensure that they are
infl ated to their specifi ed pressure.
5. Visually inspect the conveyor and frame for
damage.
6. Test the trailer brakes.
7. Check the fl uid level in the hydraulic tank. Add
fl uid as needed.
8. Check the tension of the conveyor belts.
Follow the instructions in the manual to
correct the tension and/or alignment. Refer to
“10.5 Underbin Conveyor” on page 50.
9. When the machine is operating, check the
alignment of the conveyor belts. Follow
the instructions in the manual to correct
the tension and/or alignment. Refer to
“10.5 Underbin Conveyor” on page 50.
