WARNING!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, see
a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene will result.
7. Connect hoses from electro-hydraulic circuit to tractor
remotes.
8. Bleed the lift-to-fold and fold hydraulics. Follow the
proper bleeding procedures for these systems on
page 7.
9. Select the fold system on the control console. Using
the tractor hydraulics, unfold the tool bars.
10. Select the lift-to-fold system on the control console.
Using the tractor hydraulics, raise the main frame.

shift the box to align the box mount (5) with the pivot
