hitch locking pin.
4. Move transport axle into field turnaround position.
5. Lower wing wheels into field turnaround position.

7. Fold wings outward until stub wing latch pins are sealed into
H-frame receivers.

fertilizer. Use tractor assist as needed to
aid in unfolding and to reduce stress on
frame and transport components.
