Install Dry Spreader Body

1. CAUTION: Crane or hoist must have a rated lifting capacity of at least 2268 kg (5000 lb.). Verify any additional lifting or connecting devices, such as anchor shackles or clevises, are properly rated for the job.

   Faulty strap lift points or lift straps can allow dry spreader to fall causing severe injury or death to you or others. Inspect strap lifting points and lift straps for wear before attaching and lifting.

   Approximate weight of dry spreader is 1469 kg (3240 lb.) for DN456, 1696 kg (3740 lb.) for DN485, and 431 kg (950 lb.) for second product bin insert.

   NOTE: If machine is equipped with a liquid system, it must be removed before dry spreader body can be installed. (See Liquid System Removal and Installation section in John Deere R4030, R4038 and R4045 operator’s manual.)

   If machine is equipped with bareback light bar it must be removed before dry spreader body can be installed. (See Remove Rear Light Bar in this section.)

   Position chassis with adequate room around the unit. Make sure endgate or second product bin insert is securely installed.

2. IMPORTANT: Lifting tools available as part of conversion bundle. See your John Deere dealer to order lifting tools.
