5000-072 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
GERINGHOFF
NOTE:
GEAR BOXES MUST BE USED TO MOUNT TORSION PIVOTS. SUPPORT THE FRONT OF ROW UNIT BEFORE LOOSENING
ANY MOUNTING HARDWARE. DIFFERENT MOUNT LOCATIONS MAY BE NECESSARY IF CLEARANCE ISSUES ARE FOUND
.
Step 1
:
(see torsion pivot locations on pages 10
– 11 that match your devastator kit). Place the 2) 5000-454 Spacers (longer, used on non-
Horizon Geringhoff corn heads) OR 2) 5000-472 Spacers (shorter, used on Horizon Geringhoff corn heads) in the 5000-453 Geringhoff
Adaptor Plate. Put the spacers against the bottom side of the corn head frame. (this is to space the adaptor plate away from the weldments &
gear box mounting straps) Insert 1) 2502-815 M16 X 140MM through the front side of the adaptor plate on the end that the pivot assembly is
not attached to. Insert 1) 2502-814 M16 X 160MM through the back side of the adaptor plate on the end that the pivot assembly is not
attached to. Align these 2 bolts with threaded holes on the gear box & thread by hand.
Step 2
:
Place the 5000-174 torsion pivot assembly on the 5000-285 adaptor aligning 2 slotted holes with the tapped holes on the adaptor
bracket & 2 slotted holes that align with the threaded holes on the gear box. Thread the 2) 2502-810 M16 X 2 X 30 bolts by hand into the
tapped holes on the adaptor bracket. Thread 1) 2502-814 M16 X 160 on the front side & 1) 2502-817 M16 X 180 on the back side into the
gear boxes by hand. Tighten all mounting hardware to torque spec at this time. Below is a diagram showing what holes on the 5000-174
torsion pivot used on Geringhoff corn heads match with the holes in the 5000-285 adaptor plate.
Step 3
:
Refer to page 13 for instructions on installing the 5000-292 torsion arm.
