MACHINE COMPONENTS
• Feeder Assembly
• Hopper Assembly
• Control Panel/Electrical
• Engine
• Dual Clutch Drivetrain
Two operators needed for safe operation.
• One hose operator
• One machine operator/loader
Machine Installation
The truck that the machine is to be mounted in should have a minimum body length of 22’ with a minimum GVWR of 21,000 lbs., double side door and a full width rear door.
Tools and material needed for installation:
• Drill and drill bits
• 3/8” bolts or lag screws
• Exhaust pipe fittings from the machine to underneath the truck
• Fork lift or other safe means to lift the machine
• Pry bar(s)
• Screw driver, socket and ratchet, saw (hole or saber)
1. Move the machine into position noting that you will need to have access to the rear of the machine.
With the machine in position; mark the truck floor where the engine exhaust will go through the floor and mark the base’s mounting hole locations. Mark the truck floor where the blower inlet pipe will go through.
2. The machine can be left in place or moved to provide better access to the areas that need to be drilled/cut. Using an 1/8” bit, drill pilot holes to determine if there is anything under the truck floor that would interfere with the mounting fasteners, the engine exhaust pipe or the blower inlet pipe.
If there is; move the holes accordingly.
3. Cut a 3” hole in the floor for the exhaust pipe and a 3 ½” hole for the blower inlet pipe. Install the flashing for both (included-steel for exhaust, rubber for blower), center it in the hole and tack it down.
4. Drill holes for the machine mounting bolts. The size depends on what type and size of fasteners you are using. Secure the machine to the truck floor.
it could ignite. Due to the variability of installations Meyer cannot provide a guard for the engine exhaust piping. The installer of the equipment must take the necessary steps to guard this surface from contact.
The engine and engine exhaust piping could be extremely hot and could cause burns. In addition; if flammable material comes in contact with these surfaces
The engine exhaust pipe outlet must be routed away from the blower intake underneath the truck/trailer. Failure to do so could result in carbon monoxide being pumped into the building being insulated. This would be a life threatening situation for both the installer and the building occupants.
5. Install the exhaust pipe and fittings (not included). Be sure to securely attach both ends of the exhaust extension. Exhaust pipe outlet must be directed away from blower inlet and away from any fuel tanks located beneath the truck. Thread in the blower inlet pipe and screen (included) up through the rubber flashing.
SECTION V
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting the machine; check that no foreign material is in the hopper, that the blowing hose is connected and the hose operator is in position. Ensure that the only people around the machine are those involved with its operation.
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT see it, smell it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, shut it off and get to fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention immediately. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
PRE-START CHECKS
1. The doors to the truck/trailer must be open so that the operator and machine have adequate ventilation.
9
2. If there is a fuel odor, wait 10 minutes to allow the fuel vapor to dissipate before proceeding.
3. The blowing hose must be attached and the operator in position.
4. Check that the switch on the Remote Control Cord is in the OFF position. Connect the cord to the control panel. Note: Starting the machine with the switch set to AIR or AIR/MATERIAL will overload the clutch and the engine.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Allow room for expansion of the fuel. Fill the tank away from the engine and avoid spills. The fuel tank must be in contact with the ground before and during filling. Keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the fill opening at all times. Do not let the fuel line come in contact with the exhaust system. Fuel for this machine is highly flammable; failure to follow these precautions could lead to a fire and serious injury or death.
Do not operate the machine with any guards removed. The drive components must be guarded before starting your machine and must remain guarded during operation. Failure to do so could lead to serious injury or death.

Removing guards exposes personnel to moving parts. Prior to removing any guards the machine must be prevented from starting and the parts from moving. Remove the key from the engine ignition/truck ignition (PTO), disconnect the fuel line, and disconnect the negative battery terminal and secure it. Follow your employer’s Lockout/Tag out procedures.
In order to perform any service or maintenance on the machine the guards must be removed.
1. Follow MACHINE SAFETY SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Remove the guards as necessary to work on the machine.
3. Replace the guards after completing the service or maintenance and before operation.
When replacing or tightening drive belts or chain it is imperative that the drive components – sprockets or sheaves are in line with each other. Use a straight edge of sufficient length to make the determination.
Replace the drive belts if there are signs of cracking or wear. If belts are slipping or squealing during operation adjust them by moving the drive/driven components in the appropriate direction to restore proper tension.
Check the tension on the chain drives when they are lubricated. On the hopper chain drives if there is more than 3/4” deflection or play measured equidistant between the sprockets, the chain needs to be replaced.
