Unfolding
Unfold the implement for adjustments, field operations,
maintenance, parking and storage.
1.
Unless the implement was folded, with the currently
hitched tractor, only a short time ago, check for
evidence of oil leaks. Check the ground at hitch
connections, hose fittings and under cylinders.
Crushing Hazard:
Bystanders could be crushed under the wings or caught in the
wing fold mechanisms. To avoid serious injury or death, keep
all persons well away during implement unfold.
2.
Be aware of vertical and horizontal clearances
needed to unfold the implement.
3.
Remove Wing Pins.
4.
Put tractor in Park with parking brake engaged.
5.
Clear all persons from on or near the implement.
6.
Slowly move fold circuit lever to Extend. Observe the
unfold operation.
7.
Wait for both wings to reach the fully unfolded
position. Set tractor remote to Neutral to lock at
unfolded.
Folding
Fold the implement for movements on public roads and
between fields with narrow clearances.
Electrocution Hazard:
Avoid overhead lines when folding and transporting. When
folded and lifted, the implement requires clearance of at least
14ft (4.3m) for Models 6324 -6329 and 17ft (5.2m) for Models
6330 & 6333, which is high enough to contact low-hanging
lines. Touching the implement or tractor completes a circuit to
ground, and can result in serious injury or death. At higher
voltages, shock can occur without direct contact.
