4. If locking for maintenance, at the left wing lift
cylinder, remove the rear pin of the depth stop
clevis. Swing the clevis forward.
Machine Damage Risk:
Do not install a lock channel on the depth stop cylinder unless
the clevis has been rotated clear of the cylinder rod. Lowering
the applicator onto a lock channel with the clevis in place will
damage the clevis.
5. Place a lock channel on the lift cylinder rod of each
cylinder to be locked.
6. Re-install locking pin and secure with cotter pin.
7. Lower fertilizer applicator onto lock channels.
8. Set lift circuit to Float.
Wing Lock Channels
These lock channels are only present on 2012- NP40A,
NP30A, NP3000 2-point with lift assist and 3-point
models. They enable a partial “gull wing” fold during field
lift. On 2013+ models, this function is controlled by
solenoid valves.
See page 60 for operation.
Wing Lock Pins
These pins are present only on NP40A models with
5-section wings (inner and outer wings).
These pins are manually inserted after fold, both as a
safety precaution, and to minimize wing-cradle impacts
during transport.
When not engaged, the pins are stored in tubes at the
base of the rest weldment.
