Bleeding Marker Hydraulics
The markers must be properly bled to displace air in the
hydraulic system and for the sequence valve to work
properly. Failure to do so could cause marker to drop
quickly and cause damage to marker voiding the
warranty.
Overhead and Crushing Hazard:
Keep others away when folding or unfolding markers. Markers
may fall quickly and unexpectedly if hydraulics fail.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and fittings
before applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small
hole can be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not
body parts, and wear heavy gloves to check for suspected
leaks. If injured, seek medical assistance from a doctor that is
familiar with this type of injury.
Check that tractor hydraulic reservoir is full before
bleeding the hydraulics. A low reservoir level may draw
air back into the system, causing jerky or uneven
cylinder movements.
JIC fittings do not require high torque. JIC and O-Ring
fittings do not require sealant. Always use liquid pipe sealant
when adding or replacing pipe thread fittings. To avoid
possible danger of cracking hydraulic fittings from
overtightening, do not use plastic sealant tape.
Dual Markers with Sequence Valve
Refer to Figure 25
1. Fold markers manually into transport position when
charging hydraulic system for the first time.
2. Disconnect cylinder pin (1) from rod end of
cylinders and marker link arms (2). Swing marker
link arm up and out of the way.
3. Connect hoses to tractor remote hydraulic outlets.
4. Loosen hose hydraulic fittings at rod end of marker
cylinders (3).
5. With tractor at idle speed, slowly work tractor
remote lever in the direction which would retract the
cylinder.
Note: Do not try to retract cylinder. The goal is to push
air from the lines leading to the cylinder. The
position of the sequence valve determines which
cylinder will react first.
6. When the air is expelled, oil will seep out around a
loosened fitting. Tighten the hose fitting.
7. Move tractor remote lever to fully extend cylinder
and hold for a few seconds. This will shift the
sequence valve which will allow you to bleed the
other cylinder.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the other cylinder.
9. When the system is bled, move the tractor remote
lever several times until both cylinders stop when
fully extended.
10. Reconnect cylinders to marker link arms.
