FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH

MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

BEFORE unclogging, cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or servicing the unit:

1. Disengage the tractor PTO.

2. Shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key and take it with you.

3. Wait for all movement to stop.

4. Remove the Telescoping PTO Drive and ALL power connections from the tractor.

ONLY when you have taken these precautions can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow the above procedure could lead to death or serious bodily injury.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR NEW SPREADER BE SURE TO READ THIS OWNERS MANUAL AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE MACHINE! OBSERVE THE PRECAUTIONS IN THIS MANUAL FOR

SAFE OPERATION!

Most farm accidents, like industrial, home and highway accidents, are caused by the failure of some individuals to observe simple and fundamental safety rules or precautions. For this reason, farm accidents, just as other types of accidents, can be prevented by recognizing the causes of accidents and doing something about them before an accident occurs.

Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of farm equipment, there are many points that cannot be completely safe-guarded without interfering with accessibility and efficient operation.

A careful operator is the best insurance against an accident.

The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent many thousand serious injuries each year. That rule is:

“NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, OIL, OR ADJUST A MACHINE WHILE IN MOTION.”

-NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL

PRE-OPERATION GENERAL

Read the entire Owner’s Manual before attempting to operate this manure spreader. Before attempting any maintenance or repairs; always be sure all rotating parts have stopped and that the tractor is shut off, dis- connect the PTO, relieve all hydraulic pressure and disconnect hydraulic hoses.

WARNING NEVER OPERATE SPREADER WITH ANY GUARDS OR SHIELDS REMOVED. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

1. Completely lubricate the unit as described in the

LUBRICATION Section.

2. Check and tighten the wheel lug nuts if required.

3. Check and maintain the tire pressure according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.

4. Check the entire unit for loose bolts, damaged or loose hydraulic fittings and hoses or other damaged parts.

5. The tractor half of the PTO drive shaft assembly must be locked securely to the tractor output shaft.

TRACTOR HITCH AND PTO REQUIREMENTS

This spreader is designed to be operated by a 1000 RPM PTO tractor output.

The PTO drive shaft assembly is designed to operate with tractors conforming to the industry standard shown on figure 1 for 1000 RPM PTO output.

ADMA Recommendations:

A tractor drawbar equipped with a clevis hitch (hammer strap) can cause interference with the PTO driveline IID (implement input driveline). This interference can cause serious damage to the IID or the IID telescoping members. Verify there is sufficient clearance between the IID and your particular clevis hitch.

If the implement (figure 2, lower view) is attached to a tractor with an offset in the drawbar, be certain it is in the down position to prevent damage to the IID guarding or the IID telescoping members.

TRACTOR SIZE REQUIREMENTS The spreader does not have brakes. Towing the spreader must be done safely. The ASAE (American Society of Agricultural Engineers) specifies that the towing vehicle should weigh at least 2/3 as much as the loaded implement to be reasonably safe towing at speeds up to 20 mph. This (20 mph) is also the maximum recommended towing speed for the spreader. The loaded weight of your spreader will naturally vary with the moisture of the manure and you must consider that for your conditions. The loaded weight capacities as specified by the spreader manufacturer are as follows: Use the following chart for calculating the minimum tractor weight.

MODEL (Capacity)

SPREADER WEIGHT + LOAD WEIGHT = GROSS WEIGHT

MIN. TRACTOR WEIGHT

VB900 Struck

(620 FT3) Heaped

(980 FT3)

17,400 + ________

= ________

2/3 OF GROSS WEIGHT

Material Weights per Cubic Foot

Material Lbs. / Cubic Foot

Lime Sludge 110-115 LBS.

Dry Feedlot Manure 63-65 LBS.

Chicken Litter 63-65 LBS.

Cake Sludge 62-65 LBS.

Semi-Solid Manure 58-60 LBS.

Pen Packed Manure 30-35 LBS.

Liquid Manure 63-65 LBS.

Source: ASAE

E.g. For a struck level load of Chicken Litter:

17,400 + (620 ft3 x 65 lbs)

17,400 + 40,300 = 57,700

57,700 x (2/3) = 38,466

Minimum Tractor Weight: 38,466

NOTICE! Heaped loads have significantly higher capacities, resulting in increased weight and a higher center of gravity. These loads require extra precaution during transport and operation.

OVERVIEW The spreader rear beaters are driven directly by the tractor PTO. The spreader rear end gate, hydraulic jack, and hydraulic apron are on separate hydraulic circuits, so 3 sets of hydraulic hoses must be connected to the tractor. The pair of hoses for the hydraulic apron must be connected to tractor hydraulics with adjustable flow control, (with standard options.) A check valve in the apron motor circuit will prevent the apron motor from running backwards. The check valve will also prevent incorrect apron operation if the hoses are accidentally reversed at the tractor. When unloading is complete, the tractor control operating the apron must be shut off. Once the apron has been stopped, the tractor control operating the end gate is reversed to lower the gate.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM This standard spreader hydraulic system does not include an onboard flow control to regulate the apron speed. Instead, the tractor must have adjustable flow control (turtle/rabbit icons) to regulate the spreader apron speed. The spreader is equipped with a flow control valve, which will restrict max flow to the apron motor. The hydraulic motor used to power the apron has a built-in pressure relief to prevent accidental damage to the gearbox and apron.

WARNING ESCAPING HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE THE SKIN AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. RELIEVE ALL PRESSURE FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING THE LINES OR MAKING REPAIRS. CHECK ALL HOSES AND FITTINGS BEFORE STARTUP AND PERIODICALLY DURING OPERATION.

TRANSPORTING

General 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.

WARNING BE SURE THE SLOW MOVING VEHICLE SIGN IS INSTALLED ON THE REAR OF THE SPREADER FOR TRANSPORTING ON ROADWAYS. KEEP THIS SIGN AND ALL REFLECTIVE DECALS CLEAN. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

CAUTION REGULARLY CLEAN OFF THE REFLECTIVE TAPE AT THE REAR AND SIDES OF THE SPREADER WHEN TRANSPORTING IT ON THE HIGHWAY.

WARNING DO NOT TOW AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 20 MPH. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Operating speed is dictated by the terrain over which you are traveling. Always use caution. Avoid traveling on slopes or hills that are unsafe. Also beware of slippery conditions such as traveling over areas previously spread with manure. If possible, avoid spreading over areas where manure has been previously applied. If you travel on public roadways 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 on the spreader.

Safety Chain Use

CAUTION A SAFETY CHAIN SHOULD BE INSTALLED TO RETAIN

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TRACTOR, (OR OTHER TOWING VEHICLE) AND SPREADER

WHENVER TRAVELING ON PUBLIC ROADS. A SUGGESTED ATTACHMENT IS ILLUSTRATED ON

FIGURE 6.

The chain must be strong enough to hold the weight of the loaded spreader. 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 chain may not be adequate. Identify this chain for use on this particular spreader.

Safety chain designed for this spreader can be ordered on page 24-25.

Highway Lights

Optional lights (see page 44) are offered for your spreader. Lights are recommended for any spreader operated on public roads and may be a requirement.

If equipped with lights, plug the electric plug into the tractor trailer electrical receptacle.

OPERATION DANGER

NEVER ENTER THE SPREADER BOX FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT FIRST DISCONNECTING PTO SHAFT FROM TRACTOR. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS IN THE BOX. ROTATING BEATER CAN DISMEMBER OR KILL.

TRACTOR HOOKUP

CAUTION DO NOT USE JACK EXCEPT WHEN SPREADER IS EMPTY. JACK WILL NOT SUPPORT ADDED WEIGHT FROM LOAD. UNBALANCED WEIGHT MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED “TIP UP” OF THE SPREADER.

NOTICE: This spreader comes standard with a hammer strap hitch. The tractor drawbar must be equipped with a hammer strap and use a 2” pin.

1. Hook spreader hitch to drawbar and secure with 2” pin. The 2 hydraulic hoses which power the jack may be connected to raise or lower the spreader hitch as needed.

2. Connect the PTO drive shaft to the tractor PTO output shaft. Verify it is locked.

3. Connect all hydraulic hoses from the spreader to the remote ports on the tractor.

4. Connect the 12V electrical plug to the tractor.

5. Board tractor and raise the jack to its uppermost position before moving.

NOTICE! The input line for spreader apron motor has a check valve in it so that the apron cannot be operated in the wrong direction. If the hoses are reversed, the apron will not operate and the hoses should be switched.

LOADING Check that the end gate is fully closed. Figure 8. When the spreader is parked for loading, shift tractor into neutral and set the brakes. When loading, take the type of manure into consideration. The moisture content of the manure will determine how full the spreader can be loaded so that no manure spills out. You may load solid manure at least level with the top of the box, while semi liquid and liquid slurries will have to be less than full in the spreader box NOTICE! It is unlawful to allow slurry to splash or leak onto public roads.

UNLOADING

DANGER KEEP AWAY AND KEEP OTHERS CLEAR OF

ROTATING BEATERS AT REAR OF SPREADER. SERIOUS INJURY OR AMPUTATION COULD RESULT.

WARNING MAKE CERTAIN EVERYONE IS CLEAR OF

EQUIPMENT BEFORE APPLYING POWER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY OR DEATH.

The rear beaters have been designed and tested to provide the best spread pattern for most liquids and semi-solid manure. However, the pattern will vary for each specific condition. The factors that contribute most to differing patterns will be moisture content and the amount and length of bedding material. For most typical conditions, the spread pattern should be uniform and about 30 feet wide or more for cattle manure and about 20 feet wide for poultry manure. Plan your spreading pattern so you do not have to travel over previously spread manure which will be slippery, resulting in poor traction. Traction on wet grass is also poor. When the resulting pattern may require that you overlap during spreading, use precautions on slopes and hills where you will experience a loss of traction by traveling over previously spread manure.

1. When you are ready to begin spreading application on the field, slowly engage the tractor PTO clutch and then increase PTO to operating speed.

2. Open the hydraulic end gate by applying the tractor hydraulics. This can be done while traveling forward to avoid a heavier application at the edge of the field than desired.

3. Once the end gate is open, activate the apron hydraulics.

4. For standard non flow control systems, regulate the apron speed with the tractor hydraulic system adjustable flow control (rabbit/turtle icons).

5. For optional on board flow control with electric control box, turn the electric control to “ON” and activate the

tractor hydraulics. Turn the knob CW to increase or CCW to decrease application rate. Return switch to “OFF” when spreading is completed, figure 5.

6. For solid manure, start the apron at a slow rate of speed.

7. Start application onto the field. Increase the speed of apron chain for a heavier application.

8. NOTICE! Do not feed frozen manure at a rate too fast. The apron drive can feed faster than the beaters can expel the material. When frozen chunks are present, reduce apron speed to approximately 1/3, to allow the beaters time to grind the chunks into small pieces.

9. Further control of the application rate is possible by the relationship of tractor engine speed to ground speed (transmission gear selection). For optimum trouble free performance it is recommended to operate at or near engine PTO speed.

10. When the spreader is empty, stop the PTO.

11. Shut off the apron, and then close the end gate. Apron must be shut off BEFORE closing the end gate to avoid damage.

MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

BEFORE unclogging, cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or servicing the unit:

1. Disengage the tractor PTO.

2. Shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key and take it with you.

3. Wait for all movement to stop.

4. Remove the Telescoping PTO Drive and ALL power connections from the tractor.

ONLY when you have taken these precautions can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow the above procedure could lead to death or serious bodily injury.

Wheel and Tire Maintenance WHEELS: Re-torque wheel studs after first 20 hours and check periodically thereafter. The wheel studs should be torqued to 297 foot pounds. TIRE PRESSURE:

75 psi, recommended pressure, 77 psi max.

Lock Ring Rim

WARNING NEVER INFLATE BEYOND RIM OR TIRE MANUFACTURER’S APPROVED PSI RATING. WHILE

INFLATING, STAY OUT OF THE TRAJECTORY & STAND CLEAR OF TIRE/WHEEL ASSEMBLY. A TIRE BLOW OUT OR RIM/WHEEL FAILURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Removing, replacing and repairing industrial tires and rims with lock rings can be dangerous without proper tools, equipment, and training to perform this service. It is recommended that this work be performed only by a qualified tire repair shop.

DANGER IF THE LOCK RING SHOULD BLOW OFF, IT AND OTHER PARTS COULD FLY OFF WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO INJURE OR KILL A PERSON. NEVER STAND IN THE POTENTIAL BLOW OUT AREA AND KEEP OTHERS AWAY.

Rear Automatic Over-Running Clutch (See Figure 9) 1. If the PTO drive becomes over loaded, the clutch will

disengage, causing an audible clattering noise. 2. If the clutch disengages, stop tractor hydraulic

flow. Disengage the PTO and allow it to coast down. The clutch will re-engage at slow speed if the over load has subsided.

FIGURE 9. AUTOMATIC OVER-RUNNING CLUTCH

3. At slow speed, re-engage the PTO and allow the beaters to run freely. Restart the hydraulic flow and resume operation.

4. If the clutch will not re-engage, then the beaters are still over loaded or plugged. It will be necessary to manually unplug the beaters to remove the clog. A foreign object such as a rock may be found to be the cause of over load.

5. When the clog has been cleared, restart the tractor and at idle speed, engage the PTO until the beaters run freely. Increase the PTO speed and then engage the hydraulic flow to operate the apron drive and resume operation.

MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

BEFORE unclogging, cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or servicing the unit:

1. Disengage the tractor PTO.

2. Shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key and take it with you.

3. Wait for all movement to stop.

4. Remove the Telescoping PTO Drive and ALL power connections from the tractor.

ONLY when you have taken these precautions can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow the above procedure could lead to death or serious bodily injury.

ADJUSTMENTS

Apron Chain

FIGURE 10. ADJUST APRON CHAIN

A1 – The apron chain is adjusted by (4) adjuster bolts located on the front of the box frame, Figure 13. Adjust the bolts so the chain is elevated above the plastic slide rails for 20” as illustrated in Figure 10. When there is no more adjustment left on the adjuster bolts, loosen the nuts and push the bolts in as far as they will go. Then remove a link from each chain and readjust. NOTICE! Apron chains must be adjusted equally so that it runs centered on the front nylon rollers.

LUBRICATION L1 – Grease bearings on top of Vertical Beaters, one pump every 8 hours, both sides by grease lines. L2 – Maintain oil level in apron drive gearbox, located at right, rear of spreader. Check at sight glass. When required, refill with SAE 85-140 Moly Fortified gear lube or Synthetic SAE 75-90 gear lube. L3 – Grease 6 bearings on drive shaft under spreader box, one pump every 8 hours. These bearings are accessed by grease lines, 5 places on RH side of machine, 1 on LH. L4 – Grease 2 bearings at front of driveline connecting to the PTO shaft, on RH side of housing. Grease these bearings one pump every 8 hours. L5 – Grease Pivot Hitch 2 pumps every 8 hours, each grease zerk.

L6 - Grease the apron drive shaft, both sides of the spreader by the grease lines, 4 locations. 5 pumps every 8 hours.

L7- Grease the axle at both sides of the spreader by the grease lines, 4 locations, 10 pumps every 8 hours. L8 - Maintain oil level in vertical beater gearbox to sight level gauge. When required, refill with SAE 85-140 EP gear lube or Synthetic SAE 75-90 gear lube. L9 - Grease cross bearings on yoke (both ends of PTO shaft) 1 pump every 8 hours. Grease telescoping shaft through slot in center of guard, 4-5 pumps every 8 hours. Figure 15. L10 - Special attention should be paid to lubricating the constant velocity PTO drive shaft assembly. Figure 15.

L11 – Grease the over-running clutch 3-4 pumps every 8 hours. Located at rear of spreader. Figure 16.

Figure 16.

Grease cross bearings yoke (both ends of connecting driveline to vertical beater). 1 pump every 8 hours. This is accessible below spreader box. 1 zerk on over-running clutch. See Figure 16. L12 – Inspect wheel hub oil monthly at sight glass. Verify level and clarity. If oil appears discolored, drain and replace with new SAE 85-140 EP gear lube or Synthetic SAE 75-90 gear lube. Verify that the breather hole is not clogged with debris. Breather hole is a pin hole located on plug in center of sight glass. NOTICE! A PLUGGED BREATHER HOLE MAY LEAD TO SEAL FAILURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL PRESSURE.

NOTICE! RE-LUBRICATE AT REGULAR INTERVALS TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BEARINGS.

RE-LUBRICATION INTERVALS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, DEPENDING ON USAGE. THE GEARBOX HOUSINGS SHOULD BE KEPT APPROXIMATELY 1/3 to 1/2 FULL WHICH CORRESPONDS WITH THE CHECK PLUG OR GAUGE.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

WARNING DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Before storing this spreader for an extended period of time, perform the following:

1. Allow the spreader to completely clean out the last load.

2. Thoroughly hose off all manure from the outside of the spreader and the inside of the box, particularly getting the end gate mechanism clean. The water can be drained into your manure storage pit or if the gate is left closed, the water can be taken to the field and spread.

3. If pressure washing spreader, be careful not to wash directly on or too close to any bearing seals. The high pressure can destroy the seal and force water into the bearing causing it to rust and fail. Avoid pressure washing painted areas of the spreader too close as the pressure can strip paint on scratched areas caused from scraping clean.

4. Manure is very acidic and should not be left on painted areas for a long period of time because it will lift paint from the metal. Unpainted metal will corrode causing holes to rust through metal guards or even fall off the machine. If this should happen, guards must be replaced immediately.

WARNING DO NOT OPERATE SPREADER WITH ANY GUARD OPEN OR MISSING. ROTATING PARTS CAN DIS- MEMBER OR KILL.

5. After cleaning, lube the spreader to exclude moisture from bearings and prevent condensation from forming during storage. Apply oil to roller chain drives.

6. This is a good time to inspect all adjustments and check for parts that need repair or replacement. Performing these tasks now will guarantee that the spreader is ready for use at the beginning of the next season.

LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

Meyer’s Equipment Mfg. Corp. warrants each new Meyer’s E.M.C. product to be free from defects in material and workmanship. This warranty is applicable only for the normal service life expectancy of the product or components, not to exceed 12 consecutive months from the date of delivery of the new Meyer’s E.M.C. product to the original purchaser.

Genuine Meyer’s E.M.C. replacement parts and components will be warranted for 365 days from date of purchase, or the remainder of the original equipment warranty period, whichever is longer.

Under no circumstances will it cover any merchandise or components thereof, which, in the opinion of the company, has been subjected to misuse, unauthorized modifications, alteration, an accident, or if repairs have been made with parts other than those obtainable through Meyer’s E.M.C.

Our obligation under this warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing, free of charge to the original purchaser, any part that, in our judgment, shall show evidence of such defect, provided further that such part shall be returned within thirty (30) days from date of failure to Meyer’s E.M.C., routed through the dealer and distributor from whom the purchase was made, transportation charges prepaid. Labor charges will be paid at a specified rate. Mileage will not be paid.

This warranty shall not be interpreted to render Meyer’s E.M.C. liable for injury or damages of any kind or nature to person or property. This warranty does not extend to the loss of crops, loss because of delay in harvesting, or any expense or loss incurred for labor, substitute machinery, rental or for any other reason.

In addition to the above limited warranty statement the following applies:

Meyer’s E.M.C. will replace (F.O.B. Dorchester) as Meyer’s E.M.C. elects, for 10 years from purchase date - any polyethylene plastic boards, which comprises the floor, sides, rear, and front of the box portion of the manure spreader box (not labor), from rotting under normal usage to the original owner.

Except as set forth above, Meyer’s E.M.C. shall have no obligation or liability of any kind on account of any of its equipment and shall not be liable for special or consequential damages. Meyer’s E.M.C. disclaims any implied warranty or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Some states or provinces do no permit limitations or exclusions of implied warranties or incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions in this warranty may not apply.
