Folding Speed with Needle Valves
Refer to Figure 54
A needle valve controls the folding speed of mark-
ers that are plumbed separately. 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. Turn adjust-
ment knob clockwise to reduce folding speed or
counterclockwise to increase folding speed. Ex-
cessive folding speed could damage markers and
void the warranty.
Refer to Figure 55
Folding Speed with Sequence Valve
If markers are tied together with an optional se-
quence valve, adjust folding speed with hex
adjustment screws on the sequence-valve body.
There is one adjustment screw for raising speed
(1) and one for lowering speed (2). Identify adjust-
ment screws by markings stamped in valve body.
With tractor idling at a normal operating speed,
adjust marker folding to a safe speed. Turn adjust-
ment screws clockwise to decrease folding speed
and counterclockwise to increase folding speed.
Excessive folding speed could damage markers
and void the warranty.
After adjusting the folding speed, tighten jam nuts
on hex adjustment screws to hold settings.
