None of the valve block solenoids are energized when control switch 

(4)

 

is set to left-hand “N” position. Since swing solenoid 

(1)

 is normally 

open, but fold solenoids 

(2)

 and 

(3)

 are normally closed, oil will flow 

only through the swing cylinder circuit.

When control switch 

(4)

 is moved to the right-hand fold position, swing 

solenoid 

(1)

 will energize and close, fold solenoids 

(2)

 and 

(3)

 will 

energize and open. Oil will flow only through the fold cylinders circuit.

Direction of tongue swing and fold cylinder movement is controlled by 
tractor hydraulic control.
