Raising/Lowering Planter
Refer to Figure 21
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 29.
Note: When unfolded, if one or both markers are
extended, they 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 planter while folded without using the special
procedure on page 29 (this is a hydraulic hitch restriction -
planter may be lowered while folded with standard 3-point
hitch).
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.
