2.11.2 Raising
The working elements should be
raised for folding and unfolding.
If lowered, the working elements
on the inside of the wings drag or
dig sideways during fold/unfold,
and damage is likely.
Always fully raise the cultivation
section / row units for tight turns
and reverse/backing operations.
Backing with openers lowered
may cause damage to openers.
Tight turns with openers lowered
may damage openers near the
turn centre.
Verify that all persons are safely clear of
implement sections.
After folding the machine, press the 'road
transport' button on the control panel.
This will activate the circuit allowing the
machine to be raised / lowered on the
transport wheels using the tractor spools.
The cylinders can then be locked using the
taps (see Figure 6). The cylinders should
be retracted to the lock channels for road
transport before locking with taps.
2. Transportation / Installation
The lock channels are used to
restrict cylinder stroke during
normal operation. The lock
channels should ONLY be
moved out of the way to allow
the machine to be fully raised for
maintenance.
Do not attempt to
move the machine while it is in
the maintenance position.
