Raise/Lower 2013+ 5-Section
These instructions apply to 2013 and later 5-section
applicators. For 3-section applicator, and 2012- 5-section
applicators, see page 52.
Raise For Transport (Folded) 5S 2013+
These steps presume an applicator parked or stored
folded, already raised, but on lift-assist locks and parking
stands. No use of the applicator hydraulics is required.
1.
Verify that lock channels are installed on the
lift-assist cylinders (page 44).
2.
Verify that wing lock pins are installed on the folded
wings (page 46).
3.
Raise the tractor 3-point hitch just enough to lift the
parking stand bases off the ground. Set the hitch
circuit to Neutral. Shut off the tractor.
4.
Raise the parking stands (page 36).
Note: The FOLD / FIELD switch may be in any position
for lift while folded.
Raise Pre-Folding (from Unfolded) 5S 2013+
These steps presume an applicator parked or stored
unfolded, already raised, but on lift-assist locks at rear,
on extended gauge wheels at wing tips, and on parking
stands at hitch.
1.
Verify that lock channels are installed on the
lift-assist cylinders (page 44), that wing lock pins are
not in the locking holes (page 46) and that the
hydraulic harness is connected at the hitch
(page 34).
2.
Raise the tractor 3-point hitch enough to lift gauge
wheels, coulters, and the parking stand bases off the
ground. Set the hitch circuit to Neutral.
Refer to Figure 37
3.
Set the FOLD / FIELD switch to FIELD. This arrests
fold at field lift.
4.
Retract the fold/lift circuit until lift-assist and wing fold
operations each their stops. Set fold/lift circuit to
Neutral. Shut off the tractor engine, leaving the
FOLD / FIELD switch powered-up
a
.
5.
Raise the parking stands (page 36).
a. If the FOLD / FIELD switch is wired directly to the tractor battery, the tractor may be shut off completely. Otherwise leave the ACC
active.

Gradual Crushing Hazard:
Do not rely on hydraulic pressure alone to keep the applicator
raised. Use parking stands (page 36) and locks (page 44)
when working around a raised applicator. The tractor hitch
may settle.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not fully fold or fully unfold while lowered. Perform
complete fold and unfold only when fully raised. When
lowered, the wing coulters near the wing pivots may be
damaged by bending or ground dragging.
