ROw MARKER SPEED ADJUSTMENT
DANGER!
Contacting or coming close to power lines or other high energy
sources will cause death or serious injury. Keep away from power
lines or high energy sources at all times.
The marker hydraulic system includes two flow control valves. One flow control valve sets the lowering speed of both
markers and one sets the raising speed of both markers. To adjust marker speed, loosen the jam nut and turn the
control(s) clockwise or IN to slow the travel speed and counterclockwise or OUT to increase the travel speed. The
flow control(s) determines the amount of oil flow restriction through the valve(s), therefore varying travel speed of the
markers. Tighten jam nut after adjustments are complete.
IMPORTANT: The flow controls should be properly adjusted before the marker assembly is first put into use.
Excessive travel speed of the markers can damage the marker assembly.
NOTE: when oil is cold, hydraulics operate slowly. Make sure all adjustments are made with warm oil.
NOTE: On a tractor where the oil flow can not be controlled, the rate of flow of oil from the tractor may be
greater than the rate at which the marker cylinder can accept the oil. The tractor hydraulic control will have to
be held until the cylinder reaches the end of its stroke. This occurs most often on tractors with open center
hydraulic systems.
On tractors with closed center hydraulic systems, the
tractor's hydraulic flow control should be adjusted to the
full flow position. If oil is restricted, the sequencing valve
may not shift properly.
