The primary feature of the
Vertical Fold Toolbar
is its ability to be folded to various
degrees.
Vertical Fold Toolbars
can be folded to either 90˚, 115˚, 135°, or 180˚. Modifica-
tions may need to be made to the current fold angle due to transportation,
storage, and application issues of the particular operation.
NOTE:
ALL VERTICAL FOLD TOOLBARS COME STANDARD
WITH THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER IN THE 180 DEGREE POSI-
TION AND 180 DEGREE WING RESTS. IF THE INTERNAL
CYLINDER IS TO BE MOVED IN ORDER TO FOLD 115 OR 135
DEGREES, ADJUSTABLE WING STOPS (SOLD SEPERATELY)
ARE MANDATORY. (pg. 3 - 8)
CONFIGURATION EXCEPTION:
16 ROW 30” ROW SPAC-
ING CONFIGURATIONS COME STANDARD WITH 170° WING
FOLDING CONFIGURATION AND THE 16R30 INTERNAL
HYDRAULIC CYLINDER. (SEE PARTS I.D. SECTION)
In order to change the degree of fold, the position of the internal cylinder
has to be changed. As shown, the four cylinder holes are labeled according
to the degree of fold achieved if the base end cylinder pin were to occupy the
corresponding hole.
TO CHANGE POSITION OF INTERNAL HYDRAULIC CYLINDER:
1.
Unlock wings from rigid position by removing wing lock pin, but
leave the wing in the field position.
2.
Relieve hydraulic fluid pressure by placing the tractor SCV in the
float position.
3.
Remove the cover plate, 2 snap rings on both ends of cylinder pin
with snap ring pliers.
4.
Remove the cylinder pin.
CAUTION!
CYLINDER WILL FALL IN TOOLBAR AFTER RE-
MOVAL OF PIN. KEEP CLEAR OF TOOLBAR HOLES TO AVOID
CRUSHING.
5.
Restore hydraulic pressure and use the tractor SCV to extend or retract
the hydraulic cylinder to the desired pin hole. (Extend if reducing the
degree of fold; retract of increasing the degree of fold)
6.
Once hydraulic cylinder is moved to the desired position, use an align-
ment punch to lift the cylinder up to the pin hole, and replace the cylinder
pin on the opposite side of the punch.
7.
Replace snap rings and cover plate.
8.
Refer to Adjustable Wing Rest section to make the necessary adjust-
ment to the wing rest.
9.
Make necessary adjustments to the safety lighting located on each
toolbar hinge. Refer to Light and Light Bracket Assembly section.
