RETURN TO INDEX
1. Choose a parking location that has room for unfolding, is level, has firm soil and is unlikely to develop soft soil
in rain. With the implement still hitched, maneuver it to the parking location.
If the implement must be parked folded, leave it hitched to the tractor. Skip steps 2, 4, and 7.
2. Unfold the implement. Set the fold circuit(s) to Float.
3. Lower the implement to just above ground level at the rear of the row units. Set the tractor remotes to Neutral
to hold at slight lift. Shut off the tractor and remove the key (Refer to Figure 18).
4. Unplug implement hydraulic hoses and electrical lines from tractor.
5. Start the tractor. Lower the 3-point hitch until the implement is supported by the row units.
6. Disconnect the hitch arms and link.
PARKING
DANGER
TIP OVER/CRUSHING HAZARD AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE RISK:
Never unhitch, park, or store a partially folded implement. A partially folded implement
could topple backward or forward immediately or at a later time, causing serious injury
or death and certain severe equipment damage. When unhitched, the implement is
supported at the rear only by row unit tools and spring tension. Slopes, soft soils, and
soils later softened by rain are particularly dangerous.
For long-term parking, see also
“Storage”
below.
OPERATION
1. Thoroughly clean implement.
2. Park the implement at the storage location as per “Parking” above.
3. Lubricate areas noted under “Maintenance & Lube” beginning on page 47. Apply heavy grease to exposed
cylinder rods.
4. Inspect implement for worn or damaged parts. Make repairs and service during the off-season.
5. Use spray paint to cover scratches, chips, and worn areas on the implement to protect the metal.
6. Cover with a tarp if stored outside.
STORAGE
Store the Delta Plow where children do not play. If possible, store the implement inside for longer life.
