Opener Operation
Do not back up with openers in the ground. To do so
will cause severe damage and opener plugging.
For information on opener adjustments, refer to
page 26 or page 28. For more information on trou-
bleshooting opener problems, see

Marker Operation
Optional marker attachments are available from
your Great Plains dealer. Before operating mark-
ers, make sure hydraulics are properly bled as
described under “Marker Adjustments”, page 48.
Dual markers equipped with a sequence valve are
powered off the same hydraulic circuit. Starting
with both markers folded, the folding sequence is:
1. Activate lever - Right unfolds; left stays
folded.
2. Reverse lever - Right folds; left stays fold-

3. Activate lever - Left unfolds; right stays
folded.
4. Reverse lever - Left folds up; right stays
folded.
5. Sequence repeats.
You can adjust marker folding speed. Refer to
“Marker Adjustments”, page 48, and adjust folding
speed to a safe rate. Folding markers at high
speed can damage markers.

ballast to handle the weight of the drill. Refer to your
