    DESIGNATED USE OF THE MACHINE The GF 5001 MH Gyrotedder must only be used for the work for which it has been designed : spreading and turning straw and pre-mowed fodder. When fitted with a reduction gearbox, the machine can also be used for forming small night swath in order to reduce the amount of humidity getting into the crop over night.
  • Page 5 GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Before operating the machine, always ensure that tractor and machine are in accordance with work safety and road traffic regulations. BASIC PRINCIPLES 1. In addition to the recomendations given in this manual, legislation on work safety and accident prevention must also be respected.
  • Page 6 17. Never leave the tractor seat while the machine is operating. 18. Drive speed must be adapted to ground conditions as well as to roads and paths. Always avoid abrupt changes of direction. 19. Precision steering, tractor adherence, road holding and efficient braking are influenced by the type of implement, weight, ballast of front axle, ground or road conditions.
  • Page 7 POWER TAKE-OFF 1. Use only the PTO shaft supplied with the machine or recommended by the manufacturer. 2. PTO guards must always be in place and in good condition. 3. Check for correct PTO overlap when at work and in transport. 4.
  • Page 8 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 1. Beware ! The hydraulic circuit is under pressure (maximum working pressure : 200 bars/2900 psi). 2. When fitting hydraulic motors or cylinders, ensure that connections have been made correctly, as per manufacturer’s instructions. 3. Before connecting hoses to the tractor hydraulics, ensure that tractor and machine circuits are not under pressure.

  • Page 14: Assembly Instructions

    ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1) Fitting of the outer wings and cylinders (photo 1) Make sure not to invert left and right wings. Grease Digidrive coupling fingers. Connect cylinder barrels (V) to axles (A) using roll pins (C) (8x40) and plain washers (B) (21x33x4). Insert hinges (M) in housings (N) respecting the rotor timing thanks to O- rings (Q) placed on the Digidrive coupling fingers.
  • Page 15 3) Fitting the 3-point frame (fig. 3) Attach the 3-point frame (C) to the connecting frame (P) by means of the vertical pivot pin (A) and secure in place with roll pins (E) (5 x 50 mm) and (E’) (8 x 50 mm) as shown in figure 3. Attach the pendulum arm (B) to the 3-point frame (C) by means of the horizontal pivot pin (F).Secure the horizontal pin (F) with roll pins (G) (8 x 50 mm).
  • Page 16 6) Fitting reflectors (fig. 5) Attach reflector support (1) to central tubing (2) on each side of the machine by means of 1 hexagon screw (3) (M 12 x 40), 1 self-locking screw (5) (M 12 x 40) and 1 spacer (7), as shown in fig. 5. Next stick red reflectors (8) and white reflectors (9) to the end of supports (1).
  • Page 17 9) Fitting control cords (photo 9) Cut one of the cords (D 1) to 1,7 m (5' 7"). Thread it through plate (P) as shown in drawing below. Thread each end of the cord through lock arm (V) and tie a knot at each end. Insert the other cord (D 2) through the upper hole of support plate (C) then through plate (P) and tie a knot.
  • Page 18 10) Fitting the safety guards (photos 10 and 10 A) The safety guards are provided with the machine to give improved protection against possible accidents and therefore ensure maximum safety. Fit both guards (6) onto support (7) and secure them with 4 hexagon bolts (8) (M 10 x 50) and nuts (M 10) (photo 10).

  • Page 19: Attachment : - To The Tractor

    FITTING TO THE TRACTOR The GF 5001 MH can be fitted to all tractors equipped with a DIN or ASEA Standard 3-point linkage. The lower link pins are 22 mm and 28 mm diameter for tractors with Cat. I and II linkage. The lower link pins should be attached to the tractor link arms (P) inside the 3-point frame for Cat.

  • Page 20: Pto Shaft

    PTO SHAFT Connect the PTO shaft to the 540 rpm (min ) tractor drive (with the safety clutch fitted on the machine side) (photo 11). Make sure PTO length is correct : 1) When the PTO is in its maximum extended position, a minimum tube overlap of 300 mm (12") must be maintained. 2) When the PTO is in its maximum overlap position (retracted), tubes should not butt against the yokes.

  • Page 21: Working Position And Adjustments

    WORKING POSITION AND ADJUSTMENTS To change the machine from the transport position to the work position, proceed as follows : - Lower the machine on the ground, - Unlock pendulum arm, - Free the outside rotors by releasing locks (L). Next turn these rotors 180°...

  • Page 23: Operating Speed

    OPERATING SPEED Many factors govern the choice of the correct forward speed : 1) The moisture content (this factor is most important the first time over). 2) The density of the crop. 3) The height and type of crop. Here are a few examples of correct speed given a crop of average length and density : - First time over : when the crop has a high moisture content, the speed is approximately 7 - 8 km/hr (4 1/2 - 5 mph) - Second time over : the speed can reach 10-12 km/hr (6 1/2 - 7 mph) according to the moisture content.

  • Page 24: Transport Position

    TRANSPORT POSITION To fold the machine in transport position, proceed as follows : - Disengage the PTO. - Wait for all movement to stop. - Pull cord (C) (photo 22). - Activate the tractor hydraulics and lift the outer rotors until locks (R) automatically lock into the transport position (photo 22).
