1. Pull cable hook (#12) under the driveline and past
gearbox (#13).
2. Wrap cable with hook (#12) around the base of
gearbox (#13) and clip the hook back to the cable.
Make certain the cable is secured and will not slip or
come loose before raising the deck up.
3. Turn mechanical winch handle (#14) to raise the
deck. If the cylinder rod will not retract while raising
the wing up, loosen hydraulic fitting (#15) on the rod
side of the cylinder to allow air intake.
4. Secure the deck in the raised position with transport
lock (#16). See
5. If loosened, tighten hydraulic fitting (#15).
6. Lower wing deck with hydraulics as follows:
If hydraulic cylinder fitting was not loosened:
a. Connect hydraulic hose to a tractor and fully
retract the lift cylinder.
b. Unhook cable and reel cable up.
c. Remove transport lock (#16) and lower wing deck
with tractor control lever.
If hydraulic cylinder fitting was loosened:
a. Loosen hydraulic fitting (#15) at the cylinder to
allow intake air to escape while lowering the wing
deck.
b. Remove transport lock (#16) and lower wing deck
with the mechanical winch.
c. Tighten hydraulic fitting and connect all hydraulic
hoses to a tractor.
d. Purge hydraulic system of air. See
IMPORTANT:
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.

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
