5. Activate dedicated lift circuit (normally retract).
Raising
Equipment Damage Risk
Raise the implement for folding and
unfolding. If lowered, inside wing openers
drag or dig sideways during fold/unfold,
and damage is likely.
Equipment Damage Risk
Always raise the implement for tight turns
and reverse/backing operations. Backing
with openers lowered causes row unit
plugging, and may cause opener damage.
Tight turns with openers lowered may
damage openers near the turn center.
Equipment Damage Risk
On tractors with electronic timer controls
for hydraulic circuits, lift timers must be set
to no more than 2 seconds longer than
needed to fully raise drill. To reduce oil
heating and system wear, do not set for
continuous mode.
Regulatory Requirement
Unless the gauge wheels are in the
lowered (tucked) positions when the drill is
folded, the drill may not meet transport
clearance requirements that apply to your
operations.
1. Make sure all persons are clear of opener
sections.
2. Activate dedicated lift circuit (normally extend).
3. Extend the cylinders until all sections are raised.
Hold for a few seconds to re-phase the cylinders.
4. Set the circuit to neutral to temporarily hold the
sections at raised.
Wing Pinch and Crushing Hazards
The lift lock prevents the center section
from lowering, but only hydraulic oil
prevents wings from lowering at the tips.
Use maintenance locks to hold wings
raised for extended periods.
During field turns, the center section lift lock does not
automatically engage during lift. The lock does
automatically engage during full fold. To engage the
lock without folding, follow these steps:
5. Verify that all persons are safely clear of
implement sections.
6. Have an observer stand where the observer can
see the lock cylinder, and the tractor operator can
see the observer.
7. Press
Enable Fold
softkey on the terminal.
8. Activate the fold circuit for folding (typically
retract). Hold at fold until the observer signals
that the lock cylinder has extended. The lock
cylinder normally extends early in the fold cycle.
9. Gradually move the fold circuit to neutral, to allow
any wing folding to reverse, but not cause the
lock cylinder to retract.
10. Lower the implement until stopped by the lock.
This also prevents the lock from releasing. Set
the lift circuit to neutral.
