
Markers
Electrocution Hazard
Machine is not grounded. To prevent serious
injury or death, keep clear of overhead power
lines when transporting, folding, unfolding, or
operating all planter components. At higher
voltages, electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
Pinch, Crush, and Sharp Object Hazards
Markers can fall quickly and unexpectedly if
hydraulics fail. Serious injury can result if
caught or struck by a moving marker. Never
allow anyone near the planter when folding or
unfolding markers.
Marker Extension
Marker extension is the distance from the mark in the
ground to the centerline (or furrow) of the end row
unit.
Marker extension needs to be adjusted once for the
initial planter setup and if changing row spacing.
To measure for marker width adjustment:
 Lower the planter in the field and drive forward a
few feet.
 Measure from the centerline of the outside active
row to the mark in the ground made by the
marker disk.

When correctly adjusted, there is a gap of one
row space between passes as measured
between centerlines of outside rows.
Due to the relatively steep arm angles of
short markers, extension measurements are
likely to be incorrect if the main tool bar is
not at normal operating height of 26 inches
(56 cm).
The table below provides suggested initial values.
To adjust marker extension:
1. Loosen the nuts (1) on the u-bolts (2).
2. Move the marker disk tube (3) in or out to
achieve the proper adjustment.
Marker Disk Angle
Sharp Object Hazard
Marker blades may be sharp. To avoid serious
injury, wear gloves when working in this area.
1. To change the angle of cut and the width of the
mark, loosen the 1/2 inch bolts (1) holding the
disk assembly.
2. For a wider mark, increase the angle (2) of the
marker disk with respect to the tube (4). For a
narrower mark reduce the angle (3).
3. Tighten the bolts.
The direction of travel (5) tends to drive the disk
angle wider. If the bolts are not tight enough, or
loosen over time, the disk will slip into the wide
configuration.
