Raise and Lower Machine

IMPORTANT: Case drain hose must be connected or damage to machine occurs.

IMPORTANT: Avoid machine damage. Do not place SCV in “Float” position to lower machine. Machine must be powered up and down.

Move SCV I rearward to extend lift cylinders and raise machine. Move SCV I forward to retract lift cylinders and lower machine.

After raising or lowering machine, hold SCV for approximately 5 seconds to verify machine raises and lowers completely.

To avoid plugging seed and fertilizer openers, verify that machine is moving forward when raising or lowering in the unfolded position.

SCV I must be in continuous forward detent position when lowering machine for planting. CCS fan operates only when SCV I, is in forward detent.

NOTE: To improve raise-lower cycle time, set the raise detent time to 3 or 4 seconds to raise planter approximately 50-60% height on end turns. Lower detent must be set to continuous in order to supply oil to the CCS and down force compressor circuit while planting.

NOTE: See tractor Operator's Manual for instructions for setting independent SCV extend and retract detent settings.

When planter is raised in the unfolded position, do not leave SCV in raise detent (continuous flow) for an extended period. Normal leakage in the planter hydraulic system allow the center frame to raise beyond normal field transport height.
