During the first few hours of work, make frequent checks of tine nut and
bolt tightness. If necessary, retighten to 16 daNm (120 ft.lbs) to avoid
the possibility of loss or breakage.
7) Safety guards
The safety guards protect against acci-
dents and therefore ensure maximum
machine safety.
On the GF 5000 T, the front safety
guards (25) are fitted to the drawbar
(26) with 2 hexagon screws (27) (M 8 x
45) and 2 self-locking nuts (M 8) (photo
A). Tighten to a torque of 3 daNm (22
ft.lbs).
On the GF 5000 M, support (2) of front
safety guards (3) is fitted to the
connecting frame using 2 hexagonal bolts
(1) (M 10 x 30) and 2 self-locking nuts
(4) (M 10) (fig. B) (torque : 8 daNm -
59 ft/lbs). Then fit 2 front safety
guards (3) onto support (2) by means of
4 hexagonal bolts (18) (M 8 x 45) and 4
self-locking nuts (17) (M 8) (fig. B)
(torque : 3 daNm - 22 ft/lbs).
The side guards (11 and 12) are fitted to the outer rotor housings using 2 hexagon
screws (16) (M 12 x 25) and 2 conical spring washers (14) (M 12). They are also fitted
to the flanges of the outer tubes using the 2 self-locking hexagonal bolts (15) (M
12 x 40) (fig. C). Tighten the screws (16 and 15) to a torque of 10 daNm / 75 ft/
lbs) (photo 7).
Reflectors (6, 8) (GF 5000 M) or (19) (GF 5000 T) are to be fitted on supports
(7, 21) using bolts (9) (M 5 x 35) or (20) (M 5 x 25) and self-locking nuts (5)
(M 5), as shown on figure B.
Note : Reflectors are to be fitted so that their reflecting surface is located at
the rear, seen in direction of forward movement, when the machine is in
transport position.
