Folding Implement
The air drill uses one hydraulic circuit to power the cart fan
and implement folding. A hydraulic selector valve and an
electric rocker switch control these operations. To fold the
implement, the in-cab rocker switch must be off and the
selector valve must be turned to fold/unfold position.
!
DANGER!
Overhead crushing hazard. To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Always use transport locks when implement is folded.
•
Fold implement only if fold hydraulics are bled free of air and
fully charged with hydraulic oil.
•
Stay away from frame sections when they are being raised or
lowered or are in the raised position.
•
Keep away and keep others away when folding or unfolding
implement.
