  If the Meridian Farm Equipment engine won't start, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the fuel tank is full. Next, check the engine oil level and fill the crankcase if it's low. For a cold engine, open the choke. Verify that the ignition key switch is turned on. If the battery is dead, recharge or replace it. If none of these steps work, refer to the engine manual for further troubleshooting.

  If the electrical or hydraulic functions on your Meridian Farm Equipment are not working correctly, start by ensuring the transmitter and receiver power are both turned on. Check the battery cable and make sure the battery is fully charged. Inspect the LED Error Code light for any error indications. Verify proper grounding of the electrical circuit. Also, ensure the hydraulic pump is working properly and the hydraulic tank is filled with oil. Finally, check the receiver antenna for damage and proper connection, and look for loose connectors at the valve coil.

  If the Weigh-Tronix display on your Meridian Farm Equipment is not working when the power is on, first inspect the power cable for any damage. Check the wiring connections for corrosion, bent pins, or wire damage. Ensure the voltage is between 10 and 17 Volts with a negative ground. Make sure the seed tender's 12 VDC battery is fully charged and the output is 12 Volts. Check the BLACK wire is connected to Ground and WHITE wire to +12 VDC. Finally, a certified scale technician should replace the 3.15 Amp fuse on the PC board with an Avery Weigh-Tronix style fuse or equivalent (AWT P/N 48561-0190), since it is soldered directly to the main board.

  If the conveyor belt on your Meridian Farm Equipment won't start, first ensure the engine is started and the speed is above 1400 RPM. Check the hydraulic oil level and add oil if needed. Increase the belt tension. If these steps don't resolve the issue, repair or replace the drive motor coupling.
