Folding
Fold the drill for moves between fields, transporting
over public roads, parking, and storage.
1. Make sure markers, if installed, are fully folded
(page 66).
2. Move the drill to solid, level ground with adequate
overhead and side clearances for the fold
operation.
3. Make sure the locking bars (1) are not in the wing
lock lugs (2).
As needed, rotate the orange spring locking
handle (3) (top forward) until the locking bar is
raised to and held at vertical.
4. Extend the lift cylinders to fully raise the drill. Hold
at raised for a few seconds. Set the circuit to
neutral. Do not install cylinder lock channels.
5. Press
Enable Fold
softkey (if displayed).
Depending on recent machine operations, this
key may or may not appear. If it does not appear,
Fold is already enabled.
6. Activate the fold/tilt/marker circuit to retract the
fold cylinders.
One wing may reach the stop before the
other. It is common for folding to be slightly
unequal.
7. Continue to hold the fold circuit in retract until the
gauge wheels (4) are completely folded into the
transport position.
8. When both wings are in contact with the stops,
hold the fold circuit in retract for a few seconds to
engage the center section lock cylinder.
9. If the monitor is not turned on, retract the lift
circuit to retract the gauge wheels for transport
clearance. Set the circuit to neutral to hold the
gauge wheels for transport.
10. Set fold circuit to neutral (not float) to hold at
folded.
11. At each wing, rotate the orange spring locking
handle (3) until the locking bar (1) is lowered to
and held at horizontal in the wing lock lugs (2).
The wing service locks are only needed
when servicing the drill or for long term
storage.
