To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Keep everyone out of the area where the wing decks will
unfold. One of the wing decks can fall suddenly.

Do not walk, stand, or allow anyone else in the area where
a raised wing will fall unless the wing is securely locked in
the raised position with its transport lock..
Refer to Figure 1-16:
1. Park tractor and cutter on a level surface.
2. Release any tension on transport lock pins (#2) by
raising both wings up slightly.

lever for wing cylinders to float position. Return to
the cutter, staying clear of unpinned wings and
carefully position yourself on the center deck.
Manually push on the right wing until it starts to fall

hydraulic line is orificed to control the fall. If it does
not fall on its own, then continue lowering the wing
with tractor hydraulics. Repeat for left wing.

cylinders, restart tractor and lower both left and
right wings with tractor hydraulic control lever until
