The control box and VT (virtual terminal) should not be used at the same time.
Make sure markers are disabled on the VT when the control box is used to
fold/unfold the planter.

hitch locking pin.
4. Move transport axle into field turnaround position.
5. Lower wing wheels into field turnaround position.
6. Lower hitch to sufficiently clear transport wing hooks.
7. Fold wings outward until stub wing latch pins are sealed into
H-frame receivers.

NOTE: Read following information for detailed instructions.
Tractor must be in neutral and allowed
to roll freely when unfolding to prevent
equipment damage, especially in soft
conditions or when loaded with seed or
fertilizer. Use tractor assist as needed to
aid in unfolding and to reduce stress on
frame and transport components.
