Folding

These instructions presume that the applicator is

unfolded and lowered.

1. Verify that the wing lock pins (page 50) are not in the

wing rest cradles. Typically they are in storage tubes.

Refer to Figure 35

2. Set the Fold switch to

FOLD / UNFOLD.

Refer to Figure 37

Electrocution and Overhead Collision Hazards:

Do not fold with switch in FIELD position. In FIELD, the

outer wing sections cannot fold. The folded applicator would

be over 21 feet (6.2 m) high. This dramatically increases the

risk of electrocution from overhead lines, with or without

direct contact. It is also too high for safe transport.

Refer to Figure 36

3. Raise the hitch.

4. Retract the fold/lift circuit to simultaneously raise and

fold the applicator. Observe the fold sequence. Lift

and fold do not start and end at the same time.

If an abnormal fold is detected, set the fold/lift circuit

to Retract, then Neutral at wings level. Troubleshoot

the problem.

5. Set the fold/lift circuit to Neutral.

6. Remove spacers (page 43). Install lift-assist cylinder

locks (page 50).

7. Insert wing lock pins (page 50).

8. Extend fold/lift to lower lift-assist cylinders onto lock

channels. Set fold/lift circuit to Float. Shut off tractor.

For parking/storage/service, lower the applicator onto

parking stands.
