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.
2. Unfold and lower the drill. Park and shut off the tractor.
3. 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.
4. Install the left-hand marker mount (1) on the left wing (2) of
the drill. Install the mount on the marker mount pads at the
end of the wing frame. Fasten the marker mount to the
mount pad (12) and the "A" cylinder gusset (13) with 3/4" x
2 1/4" bolts (3), lock washers (4), and nuts (5). Install the first
section of the marker (6) on the mount (1) by pushing the
pivot shaft (7) through the pivot holes on the mount and the
first section. Use the bolt (8) and lock nut (9) to secure 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.
