Fold Boom

  1. CAUTION: Avoid injury or death to others. Make sure no one is standing near boom when folding to transport position.

    IMPORTANT: Proper fold sequence is to adjust boom level cylinders to set boom to level position prior to folding the wings into the cradle position. Failure to do so will result in innerwing contact with the handrails.

    A - Fold/Level Switches

    B - Raise/Lower Switch

    Level booms to horizontal using fold/level switches (A).



  2. Press top of raise/lower switch (B) and raise boom to highest position.

  3. IMPORTANT: To avoid excessive wear on booms, do not press and release repeatedly on fold/level switches to slow boom down when folding. Fold cylinders are designed to slow down automatically when close to final fold position.

    A - Raise/Lower Switch

    Press bottom of raise/lower switch (A) and lower boom into boom rests.

    IMPORTANT: Do not level cylinders when boom is folded in unless transporting machine on semi trailer and transport width needs to be under 3.7 m (12 ft) or machine damage will occur.

    Machine may be damaged if transported with booms not completely lowered onto boom rests. Booms must be folded and lowered onto boom rests before transporting.

    NOTE: Leveling cylinders need to be retracted only when transport width needs to be under 3.7 m (12 ft).
