2.10.1 Unfolding
These steps presume a drill folded for
transport, such as at initial delivery. Follow
the detailed instructions below until this is a
familiar operation.
1. Move the drill to level ground with
adequate overhead and lateral
clearances for the fold operation.
2. Ensure that the working elements are
raised. Unlock the taps and lower the
drill (activate circuit using raise/lower
button).
3. Disengage the wing lock.
4. Press the “Fold” key on the control
panel to select the fold circuit. The
tractor spools can then be used to fold
/ unfold the wings. One wing may reach
the ground before the other. It is not
uncommon for the folding to be slightly
non-symmetrical.
2.10 Unfolding and
Folding
Unfold and fold implement only if fold
hydraulics are bled free of air and fully
charged with hydraulic oil. Keep away
and keep others away when unfolding or
folding.
Keep clear of overhead power lines when
unfolding, operating, folding or transporting
the drill. Machine is not earthed. At higher
voltages, electrocution can occur without
direct contact. Any line voltage present on
implement, cart or tractor can cause severe
injury or death.
Keep people away from the drill and tractor
during folding. Risks include pinching or
crushing at pivot points and at multiple
sites in pivoting assemblies.
Ensure that wing lock is engaged correctly.
If a hydraulic failure occurs, or hydraulic
levers are moved, unlocked wings could fall
suddenly causing a major road accident, or
crushing anything near the wings, resulting
in death or serious injury, and property
damage.
Do not use tyres as steps or platforms. All
tyres can be in light ground contact, or free
to spin, when implement is lowered.
Fold only on hard level ground. if parked
across a slope, wing lock bars could be
difficult or impossible to engage or release.
When folding and unfolding,
the working elements of the
drill
(eradictors, cultivation
discs, levelling boards and row
units) should be raised to avoid
damage.
