Frame Control | Transport (1775NT)

Frame Control | Transport (1775NT) describes the procedure to manually control the implement functions for folding and unfolding.

CAUTION: Only transport the implement on a roadway if the seed hoppers and dry pesticide hoppers are less than half full and the liquid fertilizer or water tanks are empty. (See cleanout procedures in the implement Operator's Manual.)

Items Accessible on Frame Control |Transport Page:

Stop Movement Screen Area

Frame Height SCV Screen Area:

Status Indicator— shows you the status of the selected function.

Markers SCV Screen Area

NOTE: The Markers SCV screen area only appears if your implement is equipped with a drawbar-type hitch. The drawbar and independent markers share an SCV that is separate from the frame height SCV.

Procedure to Modify:

CAUTION: Verify that everyone is clear of the machinery before folding. Serious injury or death can result from contact with electric lines. Use care when moving or operating this implement near electric lines.

Perform the Fold and Unfold procedures as follows. To raise and lower the implement with the frame folded (for service or seed fill), see Raise and Lower While Folded further down this page.

FOLD:

1. Prepare to fold in an area with firm, level ground that is away from obstructions.

2. Lower the implement and maintain the SCV lever in the engaged position for a few seconds to rephase the lift hydraulics.

3. Raise the implement.

4. Place the tractor transmission in neutral.

6. Raise the implement hitch until it is level with the ground.

NOTE: Use this method each time the hitch is adjusted.

• Equipped with a Two-Point Hitch: Adjust the tractor hitch height.

8. Engage the frame height SCV and fold the wings until the wing latches are near the implement hitch.

NOTE: If the wing wheels push soil, drive the tractor forward to coordinate the hitch movement.

9. To avoid interference, observe and adjust the hitch position while completing the fold process.

10. Raise the hitch until it engages the wing latches.

12. Engage the frame height SCV I until the wing wheels are raised. Adjust the hitch height as the frame raises so the hitch remains level.

NOTE: If equipped with wheels, the main frame raises to the transport height while the wing wheels raise. If equipped with tracks, the main frame automatically stops before the cylinder has reached full stroke to enable the Cylinder Walking feature. To raise to the implement's maximum transport height and reach the cylinder's full stroke, select Wing Wheel Lift again and engage the SCV. Cylinder walking is then disabled.

14. Install the service locks on the center-frame wheel cylinders. If equipped with a drawbar hitch, install the service lock on the drawbar cylinder. (For more information, see the implement Operator's Manual.)

15. Follow all recommendations outlined in the implement and tractor Operator's Manuals during transport.

NOTE: Leave the frame control in Transport mode during transport. Transport mode disables the individual row hydraulic downforce, reduces the downforce to a minimal setting, and avoids diagnostic trouble codes during transport.

UNFOLD:

1. Prepare to unfold in an area with firm, level ground that is away from obstructions.

2. Raise the implement.

4. Engage the marker SCV to raise the drawbar cylinder off the service locks.

5. Remove the service locks from the center-frame wheel cylinders. If equipped with a drawbar hitch, remove the service lock from the drawbar cylinder. (For more information, see the implement Operator's Manual.)

6. Place the tractor transmission in neutral.

7. Adjust the implement hitch to a level position.

NOTE: Use this method each time the hitch is adjusted.

• Equipped with a Two-Point Hitch: Adjust the tractor hitch height.

9. Engage the frame height SCV until the wing wheels are lowered. Adjust the hitch height as the frame lowers so the hitch remains level.

NOTE: The main frame lowers to the field position while the wing wheels lower.

10. Lower the hitch until the wing latches are higher than the hitch.

IMPORTANT: To avoid interference, observe and adjust the hitch position until the latches clear the frame.

12. Engage the frame height SCV and unfold the wings.

NOTE: If the wing wheels push soil, drive the tractor backward to coordinate the hitch movement.

15. Follow all recommendations outlined in the implement and tractor Operator's Manuals to verify the proper implement frame height, configuration, and setup.

Raise and Lower While Folded

Raise and Lower While Folded describes which frame operations allow you to raise and lower the frame while folded. Follow the same guidelines outlined for folding and unfolding, but use the following functions specifically.

Procedure to Modify:

Lower the Frame While Folded:

1. Select the Transport mode.

2. Select the Wing Wheel Lift function.

3. Use the SCV to lower the wing wheels.

NOTE: Maintain a level frame while lowering. Adjust the hitch height while lowering the frame.

4. Select the Plant mode.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage to the row units. Adjust the hitch height while lowering the frame.

5. Use the SCV to lower the implement to the ground.

NOTE: The service locks must be removed to lower the frame to the ground.

Raise the Frame While Folded:

1. Select the Plant mode.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage to the row units. Adjust the hitch height while raising the frame.

2. Use the SCV to raise the implement.

3. Select the Transport mode.

4. Use the SCV to raise the wing wheels.

NOTE: Maintain a level frame while raising. Adjust the hitch height while raising the frame.
