HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS

Wing System

If the rotary cutter has been supplied to you already assembled it is possible that the wing lift
hydraulic cylinders are not completely filled with oil. An indication of this will be that the wing
lift lock up pins cannot be removed freely.
The wing lift system is marked in blue at the tractor connection.
First fully retract the hydraulic wing lift cylinders then remove the wing lock up pins.
NEVER FORCE THE WING LIFT LOCK PINS OUT OF THEIR LOCK POSITION AS THE
WINGS MAY SUDDENLY DROP CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH.
