SWITCH BOX OPERATION
SWITCH FUNCTIONS
1. Main Power On/Off – this switch applies and removes the main power to the switch box and
will light up green when on. The switch box can be wired directly to the battery, or to your
tractor’s switched power. The switched power must be able to handle a minimum of 30 amps of
current. It is important to shut this main power off when shutting down the tractor.
2. Left Wing Lock – use this switch to lock the left wing in the folded, partially folded, or unfolded
state. It will light up green when on. This switch must be off during field operation, or the left
wing will not contour to the land.
3. Right Wing Lock – use this switch to lock the right wing in the folded, partially folded, or
unfolded state. It will light up green when on. This switch must be off during field operation, or
the right wing will not contour to the land.
4. Main Wing Fold/Outer Wing Fold – this is a dual acting switch. Press the switch up to activate
the main wing unfold solenoid. Press down to activate the outer wing unfold solenoid. This
button needs to be held until the desire wing(s) have finished the unfold process.
5. Smart Hitch On/Off – this switch activates the Smart Hitch if your drill is equipped with one.
When not in use, or if not equipped, leave this switch off.
6. Opener Pressure Inc/Dec – toggle the switch up to increase opener down pressure, toggle it
down to decrease. To ensure that the Opener Pressure Relief Valve does not become jammed,
toggle this switch in 1-2 second bursts only.
7. Opener Pressure On/Off – after the openers are lowered into the ground, this switch is
activated to allow the openers to maintain soil penetration and terrain following attributes.
Before raising the openers, the switch needs to be turned off. It will light up green when on.
UNFOLDING AND FOLDING WINGS
1. Ensure the hydraulic remote supplying system pressure to the block is activated and locked into
constant flow. The pressure needs to be adjusted from your tractor to fall within 2500-2900 PSI.
2. Press and hold “Main Wing Fold/Outer Wing Fold” in the UP position (Main Wing Unfold). It is
important to unfold the inner wings first as you can damage the outer wings by unfolding them
into each other if the inner wings are not completely unfolded.
3. Press and hold “Main Wing Fold/Outer Wing Fold” in the DOWN position (Outer Wing Unfold).
Once the wings have completed unfolding, immediately release the switch. Holding the switch
after the outer wings have contacted the ground can damage frame components.
4. If needing to partially unfold the drill, the wing lock buttons can be used. Release the unfold
button you are using and turn on the lock to the wing you want to be stopped and held. When
ready to resume unfolding, turn off the switch.
NOTE: Always ensure that the wing lock switches are turned off after use. Failure to
disengage will result in the wings not contouring to the land.
5. To fold, ensure the openers are raised all the way up. Return that remote to neutral.
6. Reverse the flow on the system pressure to the block. You may need to increase the flow from
the field operation setting. The outer wings will begin to fold first, then the main wings.
