Machine Operation
wINg DOwN FLEx CYLINDER
To prevent the planter wings from sagging during transport should hydraulic pressure be lost, the hooks located over
each hinge area should be repositioned prior to folding the planter. Apply hydraulic pressure to the wing down flex
cylinders until they are completely retracted and the wings are rotated up slightly.
(3⁄4" hook mounting hardware
should be snug, yet loose enough to allow the hooks to be rotated by hand.) Remove lynch pin and 6¾" pin,
rotate hooks to hook over hinge pin as shown below and reinstall 6¾" pin above hooks. Relieve hydraulic pressure
on down flex cylinders and allow wings to come back to level. Fold planter and install lockups on wing fold cylinders.
Reverse procedure to unfold planter.
NOTICE
Always be sure planter is in the fully raised position before folding
the planter wings to ensure wing row units do not collide with center
section seed hoppers.
