Folding
1.
Folding is best achieved on level ground with
the tractor transmission in neutral. Be aware
of the clearance required to fold the drill.
2. Never allow anyone near the drill during fold-
ing operations.
Refer to Figure 13
3. When folding the drill, the drill transport stabi-
lizer frame should line up with the nest on the
front of the main frame.
Refer to Figure 14
4. If the stabilizers scrape the wing on the
tongue, the boxes can be raised or lowered by
adjusting the wing adjustment turnbuckle.
Refer to Figure 15
5. Apply hydraulic pressure to the raising and
lowering system. Raising the drill may be re-
quired to free up the transport lock pins in the
vertical tubes for removal. Place pins into
transport position.
6. Fold boxes using hydraulic cylinders. Do this
very slowly and carefully. Serious damage
could occur if done fast and carelessly.
Refer to Figure 16
7. Place the pin in the pull bar transport lock.
This must always be used when transporting
the drill in the folded position.
!
CAUTION
Do not lower the drill while in folded position!
