tractor, or both, move during this operation.
Pinch Point and Crushing Hazard:
To prevent serious injury or death:
▲ Fold only with planter raised and lock channels installed.
▲ Fold only if hydraulics are bled free of air and fully charged
with hydraulic oil.
▲ Stay away from frame sections when they are being raised
or lowered.
▲ Keep away and keep others away when folding or unfolding
planter.
▲ Fold markers onto cradles before folding planter.
