OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Hydraulic Fold System
1. The Tilloll is equipped with a hydraulic fold system to
raise and lower the wing frames for narrow transport.
2. Be sure the system is fully charged with hydraulic oil
before attempting to fold/unfold the unit. Air in the
system can allow uncontrolled dropping of the wing
frames causing serious personal injury or machine
damage. The system needs to be charged with oil
initially and any time the system has been opened for
repair such as cylinder, hose, or fitting
replacement/repair.

3. To charge the system, carefully hitch the Tilloll to the
tractor. Unpin the end(s) of the fold cylinders, and
position them so they can extend and retract without
contacting any frames or other parts. Check the
tractor hydraulic fluid level to make sure it is full of the
manufacturer's recommended hydraulic fluid.
Connect the cylinder hoses to the tractor and fully
extend and retract the cylinders several times. The
cylinder rod travel should be smooth and positive
when all air has been purged from the system. Due
to large amounts of hydraulic oil required, recheck
the tractor fluid level to make sure it is within proper
operating limits.
4. The hydraulic fold system is equipped with restrictors
to prevent uncontrolled falling of wing frames when
unfolding. Removal or improper assembly of these
restrictors can cause the machine to fold improperly
and result in serious machine damage.

Escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious
personal injury. Relieve system pressure before
repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting. Wear
proper hand and eye protection when searching
for leaks. Use cardboard instead of hands
Figure
4-5. Keep all components (cylinders,
hoses, fittings, etc.) in good repair.
5. To fold/unfold the Tilloll, find a level area large
enough to accommodate the Tilloll when it is fully
unfolded. The tractor should be stopped and not
moving with the unit fully raised.
6. For 35' & 40' models, the fold system is split into two
different hydraulic circuits. One operating the LH
wing fold and the other operating the RH wing fold.
These wings must be folded and unfolded in the
correct sequence, failure to do so can cause damage
to unit. During the folding procedure, completely fold
the LH wing first and then fold the RH wing. During
the unfolding procedure, completely unfold the RH
wing first and then unfold the LH wing.
IMPORTANT
Be sure other people and pets are a safe distance
away.
7. Slowly engage the tractor lever and fold/unfold the
wing frames. When the wings are unfolded, continue
holding the tractor lever to fully extend all fold
cylinders. This will allow the wings to fully flex in the
field.
LED Light Operation
1.
Attach the seven-pin plug to the socket at the rear of
the tractor. The socket must be in good working
order, and free of dirt, grease, and corrosion. The
connection must be clean with good contact for the
LED light to function properly. Fully insert the plug
into the connector and make sure the latch securely
hooks the plug.
2. Allow enough cable above the hitch to allow for
turning. Secure or tie up any excess cable to prevent
it from catching on the hitch or stalks.
3. Verify proper light function before transporting.
Replace or repair any component that is damaged or
not functioning. Make sure all lighting is clean and
clearly visible. Follow local regulations regarding
lighting & marking.
