“(ay BEFORE USING THE MACHINE TRACTOR WORKING SPEED
Many factors govern thn choice of the correct fonward operational speed +
1, The moisture content + this factor ist most Important the first time over
2, The density of the crop,
3. The length of the crop,
Hore are a few examples of cortect speed given a crop of average length
and density +
= First time over + when the crop has a high moisture content the speed is
approx 41/205 mapch, (7-8 km/H)
= Second time over : the speed can reach 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 mapyhy (10 to (2
km/H) according to the moisture content,
If the hay is dey, the speed of the rotor should be reduced,
When the erep is very long, heavy and wet, the forward speed should be
reduced.
Under difficult conditions such as this it is generally advisable to lower the
speed_ithe forward speed) and increase the P,T.O, speed,
It is impossible to give accurate information on this and the speeds must be
Gecided according to the crop belng treated,
‘TRANSPORT POSITION
Mounted Model ( GF 452 P)
Disengage the P,T.
Release the outer wing lock (Fig. 5) and swing the outer wings to the rear until they
Jock in the teansport position,
Never engage the P.T.O, drive while the machine is folded in che transport position,
Before reroving the machine fron the tractor the wheels should be
Jocked with the pin (V) im position A (fig. 6).
If the GF 452 P Gyrotedder requires to be moved when not attached to the tractor,
slacken pin V t0 that the wheels tum freely in position A (attachment onto the trae~
tor when wheels are in position B is Impossible),
Never unlock the centre caster wheels when the machine is not on the tractor, as
this makes manoevreability impossible, To avoid difficulty when re-attaching the
machine to the tractor all 4 wheels must be locked,
‘Tralled Model { GF 452 T )
Disengage the P.T.O.
Before folding the unit the machine must be placed in a Ievel position
by adjusting the screw handle (M) (Fig 8).
Be
Lock the inner wheels in their forvard position (6) (fig. 7)
unlock the outer caster wheels by loosening lock (E) (fig-7).
Release the outer wing lock and swing the outer wings to the rear
until they lock in the transport position.
Lock the outer caster wheels in the position (K) or (L) (f1g.7).
In order to avoid the tines of the outer rotors fouling the tyres of
‘the inner support wheels, secure the outer rotors by locking one tine
arm (5) by means of the lock (C} (Fig. 9).
Never engage che PIO while the machine is folded in the transport
position.
NOTE : Do not forget to Lift the lock (L) (fig. 9) when in working
position,

Note: to achleve as close a pass as possible on uneven ground, pivot the wheels
180° towards the front of the machine near to the tines (see Fig. 6,8) and
lock the wheels with pin V. Do not forget to lft the machine on very tight
tums and at the edges of Sess,
The angle of the tines can be adjusted to sult the nature of the crop. The wheel
stalks slide on their vertical axles and can be fixed in 2 different positions,

= For light density forage : gentle inclines (upper hole)
Tratled Model (GF 4527)
The machine can be pt into 2 positions thus changing the angle of she rotors :
= Normal position + handle F to the rear
= Lower position +: handle F s9 the front.
Lock the wheels in the position G (Fig 7).
For working in the oblique position on the edges of fields, along hedgerows,
lock the wheels in the potition (H) for a projection to the left or (J) for a
projection co the right. (Fig 7).
Adjust the angle of the rotors with the screw handle until the tips of the tines
just clear the ground, FITTING TO THE TRACTOR

Tho GF 452 P is suitable for all wactors with a thee point linkage system, It should
bbe mounted and adjusted only when the tractor is on level ground.

‘Tralled Model ( GF 452 T )
‘he ideal hitch point for the tailed model is on 8 multi-holed deawbar attached to
the tractor lower linkage arms which should be locked at a height of approximately
40 em (16 ins) from the ground,
Cheek the length of the P.T.O, Shaft, the tubes should overlap by SO em (20 ins).
Watch this point carefully as damage can be caused when turing if the overlap is
