and
indicator in FIELD position), they must be released
before folding.
5. At each wing caster, move the lock control handle
to the ROAD position.
6. If the indicator end of the lock does not
immediately snap up from FIELD to ROAD, some
pivot tension is holding the pawl end of the lock
in
the plate detent . Raise and lower planter fully to
release load on lock plates to allow them to come

hydraulic circuit to fold wings. Sequence begins with

page 27). Before folding completes ...
9. Raise planter tongue (“Raising/Lowering Tongue”
on page 16). This must be done before folding
completes.
Refer to Figure 33
Note: If tongue is not raised prior to folding complete,
wing locks will be above transport hooks and
unable to secure wings to tongue.
If this happens, partially unfold planter, raise
tongue, and refold.

engage transport hooks .

caster swing arm cylinder solenoid valves off,
providing additional protection against unfolding.

Hydraulic tongue: Set hitch circuit to Float (not
Neutral).

Wing locks must be engaged for safe transport, and planter
