INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a new Meyer Rear Unload Forage Box. Undoubtedly you have given much consideration to your purchase and we’re proud that you have selected Meyer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This symbol is used to call attention to instructions concerning personal safety. Be sure to observe and follow these instructions. Take time to be careful! WARNING: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS FORAGE BOX, READ AND STUDY THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO OPERATES OR WORKS WITH THE FORAGE BOX, WHETHER FAMILY MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE, IS FAMILIAR WITH THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
SAFETY FIRST D - on PTO Drive Shaft Guard - Tractor Pulled MODELS (not shown). E F A B C - both sides E G CAUTION: READ ALL DECALS ON THE FORAGE BOX AND IN THIS MANUAL. KEEP THESE DECALS CLEAN AND REPLACE ANY LOST OR DESTROYED DECALS. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL TRUCK OR TRACTOR AND FORAGE BOX CONTROLS.
SAFETY FIRST The Meyer Forage Box is manufactured with operator safety in mind. Located on the forage box are various decals to aid in operation and warn of danger or caution areas. Pay close attention to all decals on the forage box. DO NOT REMOVE ANY DECALS. IF DECALS ARE LOST, DAMAGED OR IF FORAGE BOX IS REPAINTED, REPLACE DECALS. REMEMBER: DECALS ARE FOR YOUR PROTECTION AND INFORMATION.
PRE-OPERATION Whenever adjusting, cleaning, lubricating or otherwise servicing this forage box, you must shutoff and lockout power to the box. Because this box can be truck mounted or powered by a tractor, methods vary. On truck mounted units, the connection between the PTO and box is permanently installed and not intended to be disconnected.
TRANSPORTING On tractor pulled MODELS, always disconnect the PTO drive shaft from the tractor and return it to the PTO storage bracket on the box front before transporting. Failure to do this may result in equipment damage. TRACTOR TOWING SIZE REQUIREMENTS Use the following chart for calculating the minimum tractor weight. WARNING: INSTALL A SMV EMBLEM ON REAR OF FORAGE BOX FOR TRANSPORTING ON ROADWAYS. KEEP THIS EMBLEM CLEAN AND BRIGHT. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
QUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. WARNING: DO NOT TOW AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 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. CAUTION: USE FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS WHEN TRANSPORTING ON ALL PUBLIC ROADWAYS, EXCEPT WHEN PROHIBITED BY LAW. Check for traffic constantly.
REAR UNLOAD OPERATION Whenever adjusting, cleaning, lubricating or otherwise servicing this forage box, you must shutoff and lockout power to the box. Because this box can be truck mounted or powered by a tractor, methods vary. On truck mounted units, the connection between the PTO and box is permanently installed and not intended to be disconnected.
WARNING: DO NOT STEP UP ON ANY PART OF THE FORAGE BOX AT ANY TIME. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. The unloading process described is to be performed by the operator alone. This will eliminate unexpected “start-ups” and minimize other hazards that could result by more than one person in control. If the forage box should become clogged, shut off all power to the forage box and wait for all motion to stop. Shut off and lockout power. Then clean out the machine.

LUBRICATION WARNING: SHUT OFF AND LOCK OUT POWER BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. DAILY LUBRICATION (every 8-10 loads) It is recommended to lube the forage box before storage to exclude moisture from bearings. Apply oil to roller chain drives with the gravity oil luber and to the main apron chains with a brush.

ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: SHUT OFF AND LOCK OUT POWER BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. Correct tension on the apron chains is when the apron chain slat is 1/8” to 1/4” off the return slides (three feet from the front of the box). To tighten chains, tighten the adjuster bolts at each end of the front sprocket shafts. Each apron chain has its own sprocket shaft.

GATE DELAY PACKAGE (#8100 - GATE) (PRIOR TO SN 0781253) GATE DELAY INSTRUCTIONS & ADJUSTMENTS The purpose of the gate delay system is to hold the rear swinging gate in the open position until the apron has cleaned all of the forage out of the box. By adjusting the flow control the speed in which the gate closes can be regulated. When the flow control is properly adjusted the gate will slowly close as the remainder of the forage is being unloaded.
