2.5 Folding and Unfolding
2.5.1 Unfolding into the Work
Position
1 Raise the machine until the pointer is
aligned with the mark on the lift cylinder.
2 Fully extend the tine beam to release the
transport lock.
3 Unfold the machine until the pointer
reaches the red line on the wing cylinder
and stop. (Using the pointers / markers
ensures that the machine is folding
under 4m).
Ensure the wings unfold together (ie.
symmetrically). If they don‘t, fold
them and start again.
4 Fully retract the tine b eam.
5 Raise the machine enough for the wings
to clear the ground when unfolding.
6 Resume unfolding the wings until fully
unfolded.
