Folding the 7450 VT Plus
1. Fully raise machine.
2. Begin folding the machine. Transport locks will
engage on the center lift as the outer wings are
folding, fully fold all inner and outer wings (See
Figures 4-6 and 4-7).
3. Take note that both center lift transport locks are
engaged. Lower machine to locks and continue to
hold lever, this will allow the inner and outer wing
transport wheels to retract, reducing the transport
width.
4. When the unit is fully folded, rotate and slide wing
lock pins rearward to engage wing lift transport locks
(See Figure 4-7.)
Unfolding the 7450 VT Plus
1. Disengage wing transport locks.
IMPORTANT
Failure to remove the lock pins when unfolding will
result in serious damage to the implement. Be sure
other people and pets are a safe distance away.
2. Fully raise the folded machine to unhook the locks
and continue to hold the lever to fully extend the wing
transport wheels (See Figures 4-6 and 4-7).
3. Unfold the machine. Transport locks will disengage
from the center lifts during the unfolding process.
4. Continue to hold lever until the fold cylinders are fully
extended to lock the outer wing fold plates (See
Figure 4-8.) This will allow the wings to fully flex in
the field.
NOTE
If the operator chooses to leave the wing transport
wheels extended while transporting the VT Plus, some
settling of the machine may occur and it may be
necessary to raise the machine to disengage the center
lift transport locks.
