Unfolding Machine

IMPORTANT: Avoid machine damage. Do NOT route any additional hoses through U-bolt (A).

The U-bolt (A) holding seed delivery hoses is designed to pivot hoses away from tank manifold (B) when folding. Additional hoses installed with field attachments or aftermarket products should NOT be routed through U-bolt. Additional hoses will inhibit the clamps function and may cause planter damage.

CAUTION: Be certain everyone is clear of the machine.

Serious injury or death can result from contact with electric lines. Use care when moving or operating this machine near electric lines to avoid contact.

NOTE: Use firm, level ground when possible to make unfolding easier. Tractor must be in neutral to allow the tractor to roll slightly when unfolding.

Machine can "bulldoze" soil when unfolding in loose soil conditions. In very soft soil conditions, it may be necessary to "power" the tractor rearward to prevent this bulldozing.

Machine will not unfold with the rear rows raised.

Markers will not extend and CCS fan will not operate when machine is folded.
