FR240-FR162 01/11 Assembly Section 3-5

ASSEMBLY
11. Filling the cylinders with oil should raise the
wings slightly and loosen the wing Transport
Bars/Latches retaining pin. NOTE: DO NOT
release the wing Transport Bar/Latch if there is
a force on the pin. If there is a force holding the
Transport Bar/Latch in place, use the tractor
hydraulic control levers while in the tractor seat
to raise the wings until the force is relieved.
Release the Transport Bar/Latch and secure in
the storage location. Figure AsmP-R-0119
12. From the tractor seat use the tractor hydraulic
control levers to lower the wing(s).
Keep coworkers and bystanders away from the implement while filling.
13. Continue to hold the control lever until both wings are down and the wing cylinders are fully extended.
Continue to cycle the cylinders several times by raising and lowering the wings fully to remove any trapped
air. If there is sponginess during the raising cycle, this may indicate that air is trapped in the hydraulic
circuit. Continue to cycle the cylinders until all sponginess is removed.
14. Test to make sure the wings lower slowly when they are allowed to float down and are not powered down.
This is a safety feature built into the system. If the wings fall rapidly, have the hydraulic system or cylinders
repaired before operating the implement.
CONNECTING DRIVELINE
DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor
PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in
excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also
change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious
bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an
authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.
