Assembly Instructions
Assembling Markers
Refer to Figure 1.
1. Lower drill into field position. Allow 9 feet on each end of a
15-foot drill and 11 feet on each end of a 20-foot drill for
marker assembly.
2. Mount first marker section (1) on drill 6-by-6-inch frame tube.
Mount plate so edge (2) is 3 1/2 inches (8.89 cm) from end of
drill frame. On 20-foot drills, also install marker mount sup-
port (3) onto marker mount as shown. Secure mount with
3/4-by-6-by-7 3/4-inch u-bolts (4), lock washers (5) and nuts
(6).
3. Remove port plugs on cylinder and carefully unfold first
marker section. Rotate hinge section (7) into a horizontal
position.
4. Align holes of break-away section (8) with holes in hinge
section. Bolt sections together with stop block (9) on break-
away section facing up. Use 5/8-inch pivot bolt (10), lock nut
(11), 3/8-by-1 3/4-inch, grade 2 shear bolt (12) and lock nut

to use a grade 2 bolt can cause marker damage.

justments, "Adjustments," in operator’s manual.
