PL5700 Planter Table of Contents Index Preparation and Setup
Markers have three adjustments:

Extension length
 Chain length

Disk angle
Marker Extension Length
Marker extension (A) is the distance from the mark in
the ground to the centerline (or furrow) of the end
row unit.
To measure for marker width adjustment:
1. Lower the planter in the field and move forward a
few feet.
2. 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.
The table below provides suggested initial values.
When operating with rows locked up, measure to the
outside row whether in use or not. Extension values
may be different for the left-hand and right-hand
sides, each pass in the opposite direction, and each
pass in the same direction.
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 get the
proper adjustment.
Marker Chain Length
Planter Damage Risk
Keep the marker chain slack within one inch
(2.4 cm) of 18 inches (46 cm). A chain length
too short or too long can result in marker or
planter damage.
Correct chain slack will need to be set before first
use. Correct slack needs to be maintained with
periodic checks.
Set the initial chain length, perform chain slack
checks, and make adjustments with the marker
folded.
To check marker chain slack:
1. At the mid-point in the exposed chain, pull it
towards the front of the planter.
2. Measure the distance between the mid-point and
the nearest point on either of the two parallel
tubes of the marker arm. The target value is 18
inches (46 cm).
To adjust the length:
1. Remove the bolt and nut at the lower end of the
chain.
2. Adjust the chain length within 18 inches (46 cm)
of chain slack.
Marker Disk Angle
Adjusting the angle of the marker will increase or
decrease the width of the mark the marker disk
leaves in the dirt.
