Wing Adjustment (3-Section Wings)
Refer to Figure 30
4. Once the machine is level fore to aft, the wings may be
leveled (Models 5309-5313). Start by unfolding the
wings to a rigid position.
5. Completely extend the wing fold cylinders and check
the wings for levelness. If machine is not level, fold
wings back up, close the locking valves, and install
shims as needed to level.
Note: Extra shims are stored in manual pak. The extra
shims may be needed in the future if the hinge holes or
bolts begin to wear. There are two different thickness
of shims, you may use multiple shims to level wings.
6. Remove the two 3/8 x 1 1/4 bolts and either add more
shims to raise wings or take shims out to lower wings.
7. Re-instal bolts and tighten to specs, “Torque Values
Chart” on page 63. Open locking valves and unfold
wings.
8. If machine is not level when fold cylinders are com-
pletely extended and running in the field, repeat same
procedure to level wings.
Refer to Figure 31
9. Once machine is pre-leveled, raise and lower the gangs
completely to cycle and purge air from these cylinders
.
General Operation and In-Field
Adjustments
1. Remove the transport pins, see “Brake Hook-up
(Option)” on page 22 and unfold machine. Make sure
the fold cylinders are fully extended to allow the wings to
fully flex in the field.
2. If possible have someone observe the machine during
first time operation for levelness, front to rear and wings
to center frame.
