Fold: Check Drill Configuration
1. Make sure
markers (page 73),
auger (page 64) and
ladder (page 54)
are secured in transport positions before unfolding.
2. Raise openers (page 43).
3. Move to level ground.
Fold: Preset Transport Hook
Refer to Figure 35
4.
Check that transport hooks are fully lowered
(cylinder fully retracted). If not, Retract hook circuit
as needed.
5. Tilt transport hook look channel rearward until it rests
on the hook cylinder. This prepares the lock to
engage automatically when the hook is raised.
Fold: Set Wing Locks to ROAD
Fold: Two Mid-Wing Locks to ROAD
Refer to Figure 36
6.
Pull the pin outward. Swing the pivoting foot inward
and use it to prop the pin in the retracted position.
This allows the edge of the plate to pass the pin
during tilt-up.
Note: A weldment on the plate resets the pin for
automatic FIELD configuration at next tilt-down.
