Firstly remove all excess soil and debris
from the machine. Remove ALL shims
from the main tilt rams then swing the
WORK/FOLD manual divert valve to the

Operate the tilt hydraulics (RED) to
raise the working elements from the

machine to default to its lowest position.

3.

Continue to fold the machine until the
main spine bump stop touches the stops
on the drawbar.

With the wings now vertical, checking
that the catcher arms are fully lowered
ready to receive the wings, operate the
wing fold circuit (YELLOW) to close the
wings around the drawbar.

With the wings folded tight around the
drawbar operate the wing locking
hydraulics (BLUE) taking the weight of
the wings.

6.

Turn the tap off on the wing lock, swing
the light units back into road transport
position, and make a final check around
the machine.
