Bleeding Fold Hydraulics

Normally the fold hydraulics are bled at the factory before
shipping, and bleeding should not be required.

1.

Close the weight-transfer shut-off valve (page 47).

2.

Connect the fold circuit to a hydraulic source, such
as a tractor remote.

3.

Set the source circuit to Float to relieve any pressure
in the lines.

4.

Disconnect both base and rod ends of all fold
cylinders.

5.

Support the cylinders with ports facing up, and with
cylinders oriented so that rods cannot strike
implement parts when at full extension.

6.

Orient cylinders with base ends higher than rod
ends. Set circuit to Neutral.

One cylinder at a time:

7.

Crack (slightly loosen) a JIC connection at a fold
cylinder base end.

8.

Extend the circuit slowly until fluid appears at the
fitting.

9.

Set the circuit to Neutral. Tighten the fitting.

10. Repeat step 7 through step 9 for the remaining

cylinders.

11. Retract the fold cylinders. Set circuit to Neutral.

12. Orient cylinders with rod ends higher than base

ends.

One cylinder at a time:

13. Crack (slightly loosen) a JIC connection at a fold

cylinder rod end.

14. Extend the circuit slowly until fluid appears at the

fitting.

15. Set the circuit to Neutral. Tighten the fitting.

16. Repeat step 13 through step 15 for the remaining

cylinders.

17. Set circuit to Float.

18. Re-pin base and rod ends of cylinders to center

section and wing lugs.

19. Test fold function carefully.

Crushing and Equipment Damage Hazards:

Bleed after servicing fold cylinders or their hoses. Air in the
system makes it hazardous to fold the implement. If it is
necessary to service fold hydraulics while folded, the first
unfold is especially dangerous. Wing motion can be uneven or
jerky in fold. Unfolding wings could fall suddenly. Anyone
nearby could be seriously injured or killed. Equipment damage
is likely.

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:

Wear safety goggles and gloves. The bleed procedure requires
partially opening pressurized hydraulic lines. Escaping fluid
under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from
a physician familiar with this type of injury.
