Marker Disk Angle
Refer to Figure 66
To change angle of cut, and the width of the mark:
1. Loosen 1 ⁄
2
-inch bolts holding the disk assembly.
For a wider mark , increase the angle of the
marker with respect to the tube . For a narrower
mark , reduce the angle.
To change direction of cut (throw dirt out vs. in), invert
disk blade on hub, or invert disk assembly on tube.
2. Tighten bolts .
Marker Speed
The folding speed of independent markers (on separate
hydraulic circuits) is controlled by needle valves at the
cylinders.
The folding speed of sequenced dual markers is
controlled by an adjustment at the sequence valve.
Excessive folding speed can damage markers and void
the warranty.
Folding Speed with Needle Valves
This applies only to markers plumbed separately (left
and right are each on their own tractor hydraulic circuit).
Refer to Figure 67
A needle valve controls the folding speed. The needle
valve is near the rod end of the marker cylinder. With
tractor idling at a normal operating speed, adjust marker
folding to a safe speed.
Do not adjust needle valve while marker is in motion.
Turn adjustment knob clockwise to reduce folding
speed or counterclockwise to increase folding speed.
Marker disks may be sharp.
Use
caution when making
adjustments in this area.
