2.6 Folding and Unfolding
2.6.1 Unfolding into the Work
Position
1. Fully raise the machine on the rear
transport axle and the front linkage /
drawbar cylinder (if fitted).
2. Pressure the wing lock cylinder (single
line, blue tie) to disengage the wing
lock.
3. Unfold the wings (yellow ties) and
continue to pressure down to ensure
they will hold in work.
4. On machines fitted with a clevis type
drawbar retract the drawbar cylinder
onto the shims.
5. Lower the machine into work.
2.6.2 Folding into the
Transport Position
1. Fully raise the machine on the rear
transport axle and the front linkage /
drawbar cylinder (if fitted).
2. Ensure wing lock hose is in the float
position (hooks are down). Fold
the machine ensuring the wing lock
engages.
3. Shut the taps on the axle cylinder to
secure it for transport. On machines
fitted with a clevis type drawbar retract
the drawbar cylinder onto the shims
(usually the amount used in work or a
single silver 51mm shim will suffice).
A lower transport height can be
achieved by using shims in the axle
cylinder if desired.
4. The machine is now ready for road
transport.
Road transport speed should not
exceed 25kmh (16mph).
