Parking - Landoll 5530 Operator's Manual

4-32 PARKING

4-32.1 When unhitching the grain drill from the
tractor, it is best to park in the folded position
whenever possible. This gives the drill the
smallest storage footprint, and keeps the
openers off the ground. Park the drill on a
level area to prevent rolling and shifting. If
the drill must be parked unfolded, do so only
temporarily as hydraulics and air systems
may settle.
4-32.2 To park the drill with the wings in the
folded position:
a. Fully raise the drill extending the main lift
cylinders and the telescoping hitch.
b. Lower the front parking jack stand and pin in
the parking position. If storing on soft ground,
place board/plate under the jack stand for a
wider foot print.
c. Remove the transport lock pin from the tele-
scoping hitch and place in the storage posi-
tion.
d. Slowly lower the front telescoping hitch until
weight is relieved from the tractor drawbar.
e. Disconnect the safety chain and wiring.
f. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and place in
the storage bracket above the hitch.
g. Carefully remove the hitch pin.
4-32.3 To park the drill with the wings un-
folded:
