Folding
Crushing Hazard:
Bystanders could be crushed between the folding drill boxes
and the drill tongue. To avoid serious injury or death, keep all
bystanders well away during folding operation.
1. Park tractor and drill on level ground with tractor
transmission in Park. Be aware of clearance needed
to fold drill.
2. Fold up markers if installed. See “ Marker
Operation ” on page 42. Return selector valve
handle to Fold position.
Refer to Figure 23
3. Raise openers. Opener subframe must be raised for
folding. Position all six opener lock handles in ROAD
position and completely raise openers. See “ Raising
and Lowering Openers ” on page 26.
 NOTE:
The opener transport lock handles are spring loaded
and can be moved to ROAD position with openers up
or down, but locks only engage when openers are
completely raised. There are two locks on each drill
section.
4. Raise drill, engage lift lock channels and allow drill to
settle on lock channels. See “ Raising Drill
(Transport Lift) ” on page 27.
 NOTE:
During transport lift, wings flex down before lifting off
ground.
Refer to Figure 24, which depicts
the right latch awaiting a wing, and
the left latch having captured a wing.
5. Slowly supply oil to rod (retract) end of fold circuit.
Completely fold wing frames until both wing gauge
wheel pins are captured by the folding latches.
Make sure polymer bumpers in lock channels clasp the
cylinder rods securely. The bumpers must hold the channels in
position until cylinders settle against the channels. Inspect
bumpers regularly. Replace as needed.
6. Set Fold circuit to neutral for extra safety.
The drill is now ready for the pre-transport checklist. See
“ Transport ” on page 29.
Machine Damage Risk:
Both Opener and Transport Lift circuits must be raised and
locked up before folding, or implement damage will result.
