wing gearbox base and clipping the hook back to the
cable or by hooking the cable to the wing deck side
panel. Make certain the cable is secured and will not
slip or come loose before raising the deck up.
3. Turn mechanical winch handle to raise deck. If
cylinder rod will not retract while raising the wing up,
loosen hydraulic fitting on the rod side of the cylinder
to allow intake of air while raising the wing.
4. Secure wing deck in the raised position with cylinder
instructions
on page 34.
5. Tighten hydraulic fitting if loosened.
6. Lower wing deck as follows:
If hydraulic fitting was not loosened:
a. Unhook cable and reel cable up.

DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Make sure no one is in the area where the deck will be
raised. The cable could come loose or break and drop the
wing suddenly causing serious bodily injury or death.
•
If a cylinder fitting was loosened to mechanically raise the
wing deck up, be sure to also lower the wing deck with the
mechanical winch. Do not use the cylinder to lower the
deck. It will have an excess amount of air and will drop the
If wing driveline profile is bent or
twisted, disconnect that driveline from the wing
gearbox before folding the wing up. This will protect
both the wing and divider gearboxes. Repair
driveline before putting cutter back into service.
