Lowering Drill (Transport Lift)
Lowering from Transport Lift must be completed prior to
unfolding.
Transport Lift is on a dedicated hydraulic circuit. The
center main frame raises and lowers independently of
the opener sub-frames (which are raised and lowered by
the Opener Lift circuit).
The Transport Lift circuit also includes a cylinder for the
Transport Hooks, which lifts and restrains the
outer/forward ends of the wing sections when folded.
Transport Lift is normally used only when the drill is
folded. Opener Lift, and not Transport Lift, is used for
headland turns in field operations.
Transport Lower
1. Park tractor and drill on level ground with tractor
transmission in Park. Be aware of clearance needed
to unfold drill.
2. If the Two Outlet conversion kit is installed, confirm
that the selector valve, located near the hitch, is set
for Transport Lift operations. See “Lift Selector
Valve Operation” on page 43.
3. Slowly extended the Transport Lift circuit lever until
all three Transport Lift circuit cylinders are fully
extended (2 at transport wheels; 1 at transport hooks
on tongue). Set circuit lever to off or neutral (not
float).
Refer to Figure 21
