PREPARATION AND SETUP
PREPARING THE TOOLBAR
The standard folding configuration of the
Vertical Fold Tillage Toolbar
is 180°. Therefore, it will be equipped
with 180° wing rests and the base end of the internal hydraulic cylinders will be in the 180°
position. Please refer to the
Change Degree of Fold
section of this manual for more information.
If 90°, 115°, 135°, or 170° folding configuration is desired, these folding options are illustrated and ex-
plained in the
Change Degree of Fold
section of this manual. Field adjustments are illustrated and explained
in the field settings section of this manual.
If an Orthman row unit is used in conjunction with the
Vertical Fold Tillage Toolbar
, be sure to consult the
row unit operator’s manual before attempting to operate the implement. Read and understand operator
manuals for machinery used in conjunction with the
Vertical Fold Tillage Toolbar.
Before each use, check hardware for wear and proper torque. Replace damaged or missing hardware with
hardware of an identical grade to restore implement to original specifications.
IMPLEMENT TO TRACTOR
CONNECTION
AVOID CRUSHING.
Do not stand between tractor and implement when connecting or disconnect-
ing implement. Injury or death can result from being trapped between the tractor and implement.
AVOID CRUSHING.
Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement. Lower implement to the
ground, place tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key.
USE BAR STANDS TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENT.
Park implement on a clean, dry, and
level surface. An uneven surface could cause implement to shift or fall, resulting in injury or death, as well
as implement damage. Securely support all implement components that must be raised.
