Folding the 3PYP

roads. Fold the planter on level ground with the tractor in
park.
Certain Machine Damage:
Machine damage will occur if wing flex and lock pins are not
properly configured for folding. Follow the instructions on the
following pages carefully.
Pinch Point and Crushing Hazard.
To prevent serious injury or death:
▲ Do not allow anyone to be on or near the planter, or beyond
the ends of the planter during unfolding. Numerous pinch
and crush points exist in the mechanism. The wings are
massive. Coulters and row openers are sharp.
▲ Fold only with markers resting in transport cradles.
▲ Fold only if hydraulics are bled free of air and fully charged
with hydraulic oil.
▲ Stay away from frame sections when they are being raised.
