Assembly and Setup Instructions
Marker Assembly
Refer to Figure 1.
1. Park the drill in an area large enough for folding and unfold-
ing the assembled markers. A single marker will increase
the width of the drill by 15 feet.
1. Unfold and lower the drill. Park and shut off the tractor.
2. The marker sections are pre-assembled and banded to-
gether for shipment. Unpack the shipment and group the as-
semblies according to right-hand or left-hand.
!
CAUTION!
Do not lift the assemblies unassisted. Lifting the assemblies without
mechanical aid could cause severe injury. Use a forklift or hoist to
move the assemblies during installation, or disassemble the assemblies
into smaller pieces before installation.
!
WARNING!
You could be severely injured by a failing assembly. Obey all safety in-
structions from lifting-equipment manufacturer. Do not walk or place
any body part under the raised sections. Be sure lifting equipment has
enough capacity.
NOTE: These instructions explain how to assemble the marker
if the sections are completely disassembled. If you do not have
adequate lifting equipment, disassemble the sections before
proceeding. If you do have a forklift or hoist large enough to lift
the pre-assembled sections, you can skip many of the following
steps.
3. Install the left-hand marker mount (1) on the left wing (2) of
the drill. Install the mount as close to the outside of the drill
as possible. Fasten the mount to the 6-by-8-inch frame tube
using two u-bolts (3), lock washers (4) and nuts (5). Install
the first section of the marker (6) on the mount (1) by push-
ing the pivot shaft (7) through the pivot holes on the mount
and the first section. Use the bolt (8) and lock nut (9) to se-
cure the shaft.
Mount the left-hand breakaway hinge (10) onto the first sec-
tion (6) by pushing the pivot shaft (11) through the pivot
holes in each
part. Use the
bolt (8) and lock
nut (9) to secure
the shaft.
