Bi-Fold - Goldacres Crop Cruiser G6 Operator's Manual

Bi-fold

The following are boom adjustments that are specific
to bi-fold booms. All other adjustments on a bi-fold
boom can be made as stated earlier for a regular
boom.
Alignment - Outer Aluminium
Boom - Working Position
1. When adjustment of the inner booms is complete
the outer booms can now be aligned.
2. The 24-30 m TriTech booms must be 30-50 mm
forward of the inner booms. The 33-36 m booms
must be 50 mm forward of the inner booms.
3. To align the outer booms, the cables must
be adjusted. To move the boom forward the
front adjuster bolt must be shortened. At the
same time the rear cable adjuster bolt must be
2
lengthened.
4. To adjust the outer boom rearward the rear cable
adjuster must be shortened and the front adjuster
bolt lengthened.
5. If the there is insufficient travel in the Bi-fold
cylinder to completely unfold the outer boom,
the bi-fold stopper bolt will require adjustment.
Wind the bolt in to allow the cylinder to travel
more and fold out the wing further. Make small
adjustments when winding the bolt and fold the
outer wing each time to check the adjustments
made.
NOTE: It is advised that all threads are lubricated prior to
making adjustments
NOTE: If cable adjustments run out, a new cable should be
purchased as the old one has stretched beyond specification.

The bolt must be in contact with the fold pivot
plate stop when the wing is in the working
position.
NOTE: The cable should be tensioned so that there
is a 50 mm deflection in the cable when a weight of
15 kg is applied to it.
Alignment - Outer Aluminium
Boom - Folded Position
1. When the outer boom folds up into the transport
position it must saddle firmly against the inner boom.
If it is too loose, the outer boom may be damaged
during transport.
2. To increase to fold pressure of the outer boom,
the Bi-fold stopper bolt must be shortened. This will
increase the travel of the bi-fold cylinder allowing the
4
outer boom to fold around tighter.
3. If the outer boom folds up too tight damage can
also be caused to be boom.
4. To loosen the fold pressure, the bi-fold arm
stopper bolt must be screwed out, reducing fold
travel of the outer boom.
Rear adjuster
There are two stopper bolts (pointed out
above) on the bi-fold mechanism. Back the
lock nut off to wind these bolts in or out to
allow the bi-fold cylinder to travel a further
or shorter distance. Once desired travel is
set, re-tighten the lock nut.
