from the machine.
2. If it has not already been done, turn off
the inline hydraulic tap on the catcher
line (yellow).

extending the wheel cylinders (blue)

the tilt cylinder (red) circuit to fold the
machine forward. Continue to pump
until the spine touches the stops on
the drawbar.

the taps on the catcher line is closed,
operate the wing (yellow) circuit to
close the wings around the drawbar.
7. With the wings closed around the
drawbar open the tap on the catcher
line.

continue to operate the wing (yellow)
circuit to lift the catchers and take the
load of the machine.

catchers up, fold the light units up
and make one final check around the
machine.
