Turf Foam Marker Unit

1.  If  mounting  the  turf  foam  marker  on  a  CropCare

®

 

sprayer, place it on the center of the boom frame (Figure 

2).  Attach the turf foam marker by using the included 

3/8” carriage bolts to clamp the turf foam marker frame 

around the main boom tube.  The unit may be mounted in 

either direction on the boom.

2.  If mounting the turf foam marker on any other application, 

begin  by  choosing  a  convenient  location  that  is  easily 

accessible for mounting and filling the solution tank.  The 

turf foam marker should be mounted in the center of the 

machine so both discharge hoses are the same length, and 

where it will receive a minimal amount of dust or dirt.  

3.  The mounting location must be able to support the weight 

of the turf foam marker unit with a full solution tank.  

4.  Secure the turf foam marker unit by attaching the turf 

foam marker frame to your equipment.  Use the included 

3/8”  carriage  bolts  and  flange  nuts.  Insert  the  carriage 

bolts through the four square holes, which are located 

on the bottom of the turf foam marker frame, and secure 

them with the flange nuts.

1.  The compressor wiring harness (a) has a 2-pronged plug.  

This wiring harness needs to be connected to the switch 

wiring  harness  (b)  which  includes  the  control  switch.  

Make sure the colors match (Figure 3).

2.  The switch wiring harness (b) needs to be connected to 

the battery wire harness (c) which includes the 15 amp 

fuse (d).  Make sure the colors match (Figure 3).

3.  The  battery  wire  harness  needs  to  be  connected  to 

a  12  volt  DC  power  source.    Connect  the  red  wire  to 

a  positive  power  source  either  at  the  tractor's  battery 

terminal or at a power access point with at least 15 amp 

capability.  The black wire needs to be connected to a 

good ground source or to the negative terminal of the 

battery.

4.  Ensure  that  the  power  source  is  adequate,  since  an 

inadequate power source could cause numerous problems 

with the turf foam marker unit.  If you are using a power 

access point, ensure that it has at least 15 amp capability.

5.  You now need to place the switch in a location where it is 

easily accessible for operation.  Secure it so that it cannot 

fall or become entangled and cause damage.
