Auto Stow Wings
Automated storage is provide for a ballast wing mounted on a regulator frame of a ballast regulator machine. A machine controller may detect actuation of a wing activation switch and, in response, actuate a wing lift cylinder connected between the regulator frame and a wing arm to dispose the wing arm within a predetermined safe zone, actuate a wing pivot cylinder to rotate a wing frame to a wing frame stored position, actuate a wing extension cylinder to retract the wing arm extension to a retracted position within the wing arm, and actuate the wing lift cylinder to rotate the ballast wing to a stored position adjacent the regulator frame.
