CASTOR LOCK
Transport - Continued
Field to Transport Position
• Position machine on level ground.
• Stop tractor, and engage park brake.
• Ensure wing lift cylinders are fully extended.
Note: The wing lift cylinders must be fully extended
to ensure proper operation of the flow
control valve (FCV) manifold.
• Operate the opener hydraulics, to raise the openers
fully.
• Operate the wing lift hydraulics, to raise the wings
fully into transport position. Never raise or lower
wings when moving.
Note: When raising or lowering wings, do so in one
continuous motion until fully up or down. Do
not stop ow part way allowing wings to fold
on their own. This may disrupt the sequence
of operation.
• Secure the main frame gauge wheel castors lock
pins. It is important to pin the castor wheels
to prevent excessive shimming of wheels at
transport speeds.
• Lock wing lift valve and opener valve. Do not walk
under raised wings.
• Ensure safety chain is properly installed, see
“Hitching to Tractor” of the Operation Section.
Danger
Always stay clear of wings being raised,
lowered or in elevated position. Ensure
cylinders are completely filled with hydraulic
fluid - wings may fall rapidly causing injury
or death.
Important
Castor wheel lock pins must be removed for
90 degree turns.
