FOLDING THE DRILL
Unfolding the Drill
WING BALANCING - 6M MACHINES ONLY
The Wing Balancing system spreads the weight of the chassis and
the hopper over the whole width of the drill and not just in the
centre section. In this way, it allows the wings to float and follow the
contours of the ground.
To ensure the system is working correctly the operator should
operate the tractor spool valve to lower the wings, (spool needs to
be set up so pushing the controller forward lowers the wings, the
spool must also have a float position.) once the pressure has reached
10 bar ( 145 psi ) the operator needs to push the controller fully
forward into float to allow excess pressure to return to the tractor
in the event of the drill hitting a large obstacle and the wings raising
beyond their pre-set limit.
IMPORTANT
THE HYDRAULIC FREEFLOW SERVICE MUST BE
PLUGGED IN PRIOR TO THE DRILL BEING OPERATED.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE WHICH IS
NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY
