Unfolding
To prevent serious injury or death:
▲ Always use transport locks when drill is folded.
▲ Fold only if hydraulics are bled free of air and fully charged
with hydraulic oil.
▲ Stay away from frame sections when they are being raised
or lowered.
▲ Keep away and keep others away when folding or unfolding
drill.
Unfold the drill on level ground with the tractor
transmission in neutral.
The hitch-to-hitch length of the 3N-4010HDA decreases by 12
feet (3.7m) during unfolding.
Keep all persons away from all drill wheels, and the air cart
wheels during unfolding.
Tractor can move backward during folding, if tractor is in
neutral with brakes released.
Center section of drill, and hitched air cart, can move forward
during folding if tractor is in Park, has brakes set, or otherwise
cannot move.
