Because of the way the DR® POWERWAGON™ |
| |
body is balanced, you may find that you won't be |
| |
able to lift the body to dump it if you are |
| |
carrying a very heavy load. In this case, you'll |
| |
need to manually unload part of what you are |
| |
hauling from the back of the bed, until the load is |
| |
light enough to allow the bed to tilt forward |
| |
when you lift up on the dump handle or back of |
| |
the body. |
| |
If you have the wooden stake body you can |
| |
remove the front panel for easy dumping. See |
| |
page 9 for more information on using the | Figure 14 | |
optional stake body. | ||

Changing Bodies
If you've purchased the optional stake body with your DR® POWERWAGON™ you'll find it's quite simple to change bodies.
To change from the molded body to the stake body, you simply release the dump latch, tilt the molded body forward and lift it off the mainframe. Allow the pivot bushings to slide out of the pivot brackets as you lift the body up (Figure 15).
When placing the stake body on the frame, set the pivot bushings into the brackets and slide the body in place. Be sure the dump latch is secure before operating the machine.
