SETTING THE MARKER ARM WIDTH (WHERE FITTED)
On delivery of the drill the marker arms may be in their shortest position for transport. Both marker arms
will have to be set up for the working width of the machine. Additionally, should the driving position not
be central (either through driver’s choice or position of the seat) it may be necessary to adjust the two
markers to avoid gaps or over drilling.
The diagram below shows where to measure from in order to set the marker arm distance. It is advised to
carry out this process when the drill is in the ground and at the correct working depth.
1. Marker arm extended
2. Working width of the machine, from the centre of the middle tine to the centre of the marker point
3. U bolt
To adjust marker arm width measure horizontally from the centre of the middle (leading) tine on the
machine to the centre of the marker point (the spring tine at the marker arm, that runs behind the wheel),
with the marker arm swung out completely. This measurement needs to be equal to the width of the
machine, e.g. for a 6m wide machine the measurement between the two points must be 6m. To lengthen the
marker arm, slacken the U-Bolt (
3 ), slide the arm out to the correct length and retighten.
1. Stub axle bolts (x3)
2. Marker arm tine
3. Marker arm wheel
If the marker arm tine is not aggressive enough during operation, then a more prominent mark can be
made by adjusting the tine angle. This is achieved by slackening the bolts at the stub axle shaft and allowing
the whole unit to pivot round on the slotted holes.
