Machine Operation
NOTE: Operate two-fold or three-fold row markers with the
tractor's hydraulic valve in float position.
NOTE: A cable or chain may be used. For continuity, cable
will be used in this manual.
Cable adjustment is critical. Adjust with second stage of
marker in vertical position and first stage in horizontal position.
Cable must be adjusted so third stage of marker is pulled
out as soon as second stage begins outward travel. Cable
stretches with use and needs routine adjustment. It may be
necessary to twist for a finer adjustment.
Marker cable is PROPERLY ADJUSTED if marker blade
pushes dirt 12" or less as marker completes fold into field
operating position. Cable should have some slack when marker
is in field operating position.
Marker cable is TOO LOOSE and should be adjusted if marker
blade pushes dirt more than 12" as it completes the fold into
field operating position.
Marker cable is TOO TIGHT if it will not allow marker blade to
follow ground contour and cable is tight when marker is in field
operating position.
