SPINNER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
WARNING
Keep spinner assembly supported until mounting is complete. Never
exceed workload limits or use slings to lift items over people.
Use the following instructions when installing a G4 Spinner Assembly on a New Leader L5034 G4
spreader:
*9 7/8 = 25.08cm
1.
Use a suitable lifting device to hoist the
spinner assembly (Item 1 - Figure A) onto
the rear of the sills. Note: The spinner
assembly weighs approximately 500 lbs.
(154 kg) Align the spinner assembly holes
with the sill holes. Insert four carriage bolts
(Item 2) through holes, place shield brackets
(Item 3), then stiffener bars (Item 4) on front
bolts and attach with washers, lock washers
and nuts. Hand-tighten only. Remove the
two wooden 2 x 4’s (5.08cm x 10.16cm) and
hardware used during shipping.
2.
Make sure the spinner assembly is square.
Measure from the spinner mounting bracket
that sits on the sill to the end of the sill on
both sides. The distance should be
approximately 9-7/8” (25.08cm) on each
side as shown in Figure A. Center the
spinner assembly from side-to-side by
measuring from the spinner hub to the sill
on each side—these two measurements
should be equal. Tighten the rear bolts
securely.

3.
See Figure B. Install the right-hand (Item 5) and left-hand (Item 6) spinner shields on the spinner
assembly and attach the shield brackets (Item 3) and stiffener bars (Item 4) to the shields using
hardware provided. Attach the spinner guard (Item 7) both spinner shields with hardware provided.
Tighten all shield hardware securely, including the front bolts of the spinner assembly.
4.
Install the pressure, return and case drain hoses. Crank the spinner assembly all the way forward
and back to make sure the hoses and fittings do not interfere with the spinner assembly as it moves.
Tie all loose areas of hose together with wire ties to prevent contact with moving parts during
operation.
