Meyer 7200 Spreader User Manual


 
Adjust the drawbar at 16-20” above the ground. Extend
or shorten the drawbar so horizontal distance from end
of tractor PTO shaft to center of hitch pin hole is 16” for
1000 RPM 1-3/8-21 spline, (14” for 540 RPM 1-3/8-6
spline) (20” for 1000 RPM 1-3/4-20 spline). Secure the
drawbar so the hitch pin hole is located directly below
the PTO driveline. PTO adapters are not recommended
as damage to the driveline may occur. A hitch pin with a
minimum diameter of 1-5/16” and bottom retaining pin is
recommended.
AN IMPROPERLY LOCATED HITCH POINT MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS OF
THE PTO DRIVE SHAFT. CONFORMING TO THE
STANDARD 16” DRAWBAR (1000 RPM) AND PTO

LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION
A high quality Lithium Base Grease should be used
PRIOR TO USE
A. Using the CV Zerk (Key #2) place 20 pumps of
grease into the CV center housing. This should
be done with the driveline / CV as straight as
possible.
B. Slowly articulate the double joint through its
maximum joint angle several times.
C. Return the CV joint to its straight position and
insert additional grease into the CV Zerk (Key
#2) until grease is evident around the housing
and center sliding disk.
NORMAL OPERATION
A. Lubricate the following items after every eight
(8) hours of operation. If short rows and
frequent turning or other demanding conditions
exist, lubricate at four (4) hour intervals.
1.
Cross and bearings (Key #1)-Add grease
until it is purged around the seals
2.
CV center housing (Key #2)-Add grease
until it is evident around the center sliding
disk.
3.
Telescoping members (Key #3)-Add
grease until it adequately covers the
sliding members. Take apart
occasionally to make sure adequate
lubrication is being added.
4.
Shield bearings (Key #4)-Add 2-3 pumps.
FAILURE TO FREQUENTLY GREASE THE CV
CENTER HOUSING AND TELESCOPING MEMBERS
WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE CV.
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
It is extremely important to follow the maintenance
guidelines. If telescoping members become hard to
slide during normal operation, it is recommended the
shaft be taken apart, cleaned with solvent and recoated
with grease before re-assembling. As a minimum it is
important this be done after each season of use.
