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.
