FOLDING
1. Folding is best achieved on level ground with the trac-
tor transmission in neutral. Be aware of the clearance re-
quired to fold the drill.
2. NEVER allow anyone near the drill during folding oper-
ations.

two separate hydraulic circuits. Fully raise the wing boxes
so that the drill openers are completely off the ground with
the hydraulic lift cylinders
