Wing locks at mid-tongue and inside wing casters:
These prevent the planter from unfolding while in
transport. The tongue (hitch) is raised to allow the
hooks to clear the locks. See page 27 and 30.
Refer to Figure 12
4.
Transport hooks behind the wing pivots:
These prevent the planter frame from fully lowering
when folded. The planter frame is raised to allow the
wings to clear the hooks. The hooks are automatic,
and have an indicator wire to make the status visible
from the tractor cab.
Refer to Figure 12
5.
Tongue Latch:
This automatic feature couples the tongue to the
hitch when afield, and helps prevents unintended
folding during reverse moves when unfolded.
Unfolding is complete when the large roller bushing
on top of the tongue is engaged by the tongue safety
latch.
Planter Damage Risk:
Do not plant if the tongue latch is not fully down over the
roller. Frame and opener damage is likely if the planter is
operated with the latch open.
