Marker Adjustments

Pinch, Crush and Sharp Object Hazards:

You may be injured if hit by a folding or unfolding marker.
Markers may fall quickly and unexpectedly if the hydraulics
fail. Never allow anyone near the drill when folding or
unfolding the markers.

There are four operating adjustments for markers:

•

Marker Width
Once set for a specific row spacing, this only needs
periodic checking to ensure the clamp is secure.

•

Disk Angle
Even if your row spacing rarely changes, you may
need to adjust disk angle for soil conditions and
planting speed.

•

Chain Length
You may want to adjust the chain length to ensure
the markers track uneven ground, and do not drag
excessively when markers are folded.

•

Marker Speed
Once initially set by your dealer, this rarely needs
modification.

There are also three maintenance items for markers:

•

“

Bleeding Marker Hydraulics

” on page 72

•

“

Marker Shear Bolt

•

Marker Width

Marker extension depends on drill size, row unit spacing
and row units in use.

See “

Marker Setup

” on page 107 for initial values for

marker extension.

Refer to Figure 62

To adjust marker width, loosen two jam nuts and then
their bolts

and slide arm tube

in or out. Tighten

bolts, then the jam nuts.
