Owner`s manual

PB-SV - 16 -
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 manual 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.
See Page 42 for replacement safety chains.
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

contents and disengage tractor PTO. Shut off tractor,
remove the ignition key and allow all movement to
stop before
attempting to clean the spreader.
