Connect the applicator to the tow vehicle using a hitch pin and make sure a retaining pin is secured in the hitch pin. Always attach the
safety chains to the applicator and the tow vehicle.
WARNING – Before unhooking the applicator, empty contents from tank, unpin the jack from storage position, and lock it in
the usage position. Lower the jack stand to the ground until the weight of the applicator is transferred to the jack. Keep hands
and feet away from the jack stand when lowering.
Remove the hitch pin and unhook the safety chains.
WARNING – Always relieve hydraulic system pressure before
disconnecting hoses from tractor or servicing hydraulic system. See
the tractor's operating manual for proper procedures. Disconnect
the hydraulic hoses. Install dust covers over the hose plugs and
outlets.
When not in use, the jack handle is stored under the tongue, as pictured
to the right.
Connect the hoses so the toolbar raises when the tractor control lever is pulled back and lowered when the control is pushed forward.
Hook up hydraulic lines as follows:
Set #1 - Green Hoses - Raise & Lower/ Wing Kick/ Down-pressure
Set #2 - Red Hoses -Wing Fold
Set #3 - Black Hoses - Hydraulic Pump (Hook the return hose to low pressure return port at the tractor)
•
Raise the toolbar to take the weight off of the transport latches and unpin the transport latch/wing
•
Unfold the wing assemblies. On 40ft units, one cylinder will unfold the inner wing section and another cylinder will unfold the outer
wing section. The inner wing will automatically fold to the wing "kick-up" position, then unfold the outer wing section until it is in
alignment with the inner wing section
•
(Pre 2017 Models) After the outside wing is unfolded, lower the center toolbar to the ground. The center section will lower first until
the toolbar raise/lower cylinders reach the cylinders stops which sets your depth. As soon as the cylinder stops against the cylinder
spacers, pressure will build and allow the wing kick cylinder to fold the winds down parallel with the center section.
•
(2017 & Newer) After the outside wing is unfolded, lower the toolbar to the ground, adjust the flow control on the down pressure
cylinder so the wing coulters come into contact with the ground at the same time as the center coulters.
•
When you raise the unit up, the entire toolbar raises up until the toolbar raise/lower cylinders are fully extended, then the wings will
start to fold to the kick-up wing position.
•
Once the wings are in the kick-up position the outside wing section can be folded against the inside wing section. After the inside
and outside wing sections are folded together, the wings can continue to be folded until the transport Latch/Wing Rest is engaged
against the center base weldment.
•
Slightly lower the toolbar to allow some weight to transfer the Transport Latches/ Wing Rest. (Note: If you lower the toolbar too far
the wing -kick cylinder will begin to extend and the wings will begin to unfold.)
