2.5 Folding and Unfolding
2.5.1 Unfolding into the Work
Position
 
1. Ensurethatthetapsontherearaxle
cylinder(Fig.2.01,tapsAandB)arein
theopenposition(ie.inlinewithow).
2. Removethetransportstrapfromthe
rearwingcylinders.Donotclimbon
themachinetoremovethetransport
strap.
3. Lift the machine clear of the ground
readyforunfolding.
4. Operatethehydraulicstofullyunfold
thewings.
When wings are fully lowered
they will appear to be lower at
the wingtips.  This is to enable
themachineto‘oat’overuneven
groundinworkandisnormal.
5. Ensurethattheparkingstandsarein
thefullyraisedposition.
6. Lowerthemachinetothegrounduntil
thedrawbarcylinderstouchthedepth
stops.
7. Retract the rear axle cylinders
completely.
8. Closethetapsontherearaxletolock
thewheelsclearofthegroundduring
work.
9. Check the wing pressure on the
gauge(showninFig.2.02).Ifthisis
aboveorbelowthedesiredvaluethen
pressurisethewingstofoldwhichwill
zerothesetting.Increasethepressure
onthecylinder sidebyadjustingthe
valve (Fig.2.02, valve 3) clockwise.
Byrotatinganticlockwisethepressure
willbereduced(seepage34formore
details).Pressurisetounfolduntilthe
requiredpressureisachieved.
10. Draw the X-Press into work then
set the desired pitch of the machine
by adding or removing shims from
the drawbar cylinder or disc frame
adjusters.Thechassisshouldideally
besettorunslightlynosehigh.The
drawbarhydraulicsmaybeworkedin
oatifdesired.
2.5.2 Folding into the
Transport Position

1. Opentheaxletaps(Fig.2.01,tapsA
andB).
2. Operatethehydraulicstofullyraisethe
machine.
3. Foldthemachinefully.
4. Lower the machine to maximise
stability while ensuring adequate
clearanceforroadtransport.
5. Close the taps on the rear axle. Fit
thetransportstrapfortransportsafety.
The strap should be tted from the
ground.Donotclimbonthemachine.
6. Themachineisreadyfortransport.If
the X-Press is to be unhitched from
the tractor in the folded position the
parkingstandsshouldbelowered.
