Field Lift
These steps presume an unfolded applicator in field
configuration (lift-assist locks out, spacers in, coulters in
ground).
1. Set the FOLD / FIELD switch to FIELD. This arrests
fold at field lift and locks the outer wings at level.
2. Raise the tractor 3-point hitch.
3. Raise the applicator by Retracting the fold/lift circuit
to retract the wing fold cylinders and extend the
lift-assist. Wing sections partially fold.
4. Set hitch and fold/lift circuits to Neutral for extended
turns or field moves.

Gradual Crushing Hazard:
Do not rely on hydraulic pressure alone to keep the applicator
raised. Use parking stands (page 40) and locks (page 47)
when working around a raised applicator. The tractor hitch
may settle.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not fully fold or fully unfold while lowered. Perform
complete fold and unfold only when fully raised. When
lowered, the wing coulters near the wing pivots may be
damaged by bending or ground dragging.
