Raising/Lowering Planter
General Raise/Lower Information
Planter raising/lowering relies on the four lift cylinders at
the mainframe and wing end gauge wheels.
The planter must be raised for folding and unfolding.
The planter will not lower if transport locks are installed.
See “Lift Cylinder Lock-Up” on page 27.
Note: An extended marker may drag or shove if left
extended during raise or lower operations. To avoid
this, fold markers prior to raise or lower.
Machine Damage Risk (Hydraulic Hitch Only):
Do not lower a folded planter without using the special
procedure on page 27 (this is a hitch-specific restriction - a
3-point folded planter may be lowered).
Machine Damage Risk:
Do not lower while any planter folding operations are
underway or partially complete, with either hitch.
Machine Damage Risk:
Always raise the planter for any reverse/backing operations.
