2.5 Folding and Unfolding
2.5.1 Unfolding into the Work
Position
1 Raise the machine until the pointer
is aligned with the mark on the lift
cylinder.
2 Fully extend the tine beam to release
the transport lock.
3 Unfold the machine until the pointer
reaches the red line on the wing
cylinder and stop. (Using the pointers
/ markers ensures that the machine is
folding under 4m).
Ensure the wings unfold together
(ie. symmetrically). If they don‘t,
fold them and start again.
4 Fully retract the tine beam.
5 Raise the machine enough for the
wings to clear the ground when
unfolding.
6 Resume unfolding the wings until fully
unfolded.
7 Move the covering disc into the work
position.

the wing cylinder reaches the red line.
Ensure the wings fold together (ie.
symmetrically). If they don‘t, unfold
