NOTE: While using the following text to install your
flat fold marker, you may need to refer to the parts
section of this manual for more details and for pos-
itive identification of related items not mentioned in
these instructions.
Refer to Figure 1
Note: Refer to charts on pages 7, 8, 9 or 10 for
measurements appropriate to your drill width and
row spacing.
1. Lower the hitch to field position. Allow clear-
ance of 9’ on a 15’ drill and 11’ on a 20’ drill
from each end of the coulter tool bar for marker
assembly.
2. On the left-hand side of the drill position the
two marker mount adapters (1) on the 4”
square tube and hold in place with 5/8” x 4” x 6”
U-bolts (2), 5/8” lock washers and 5/8” nuts,
leaving nuts loose.
Note: On the 20’ marker with 6” and 7 1/2” spacings
(left side only) two 5/8” x 6 1/2” hex bolts are used
in place of the U-bolt. Remove the bolts used to
mount the tool bar and insert the 6 1/2” bolts.
3. Using the appropriate chart for hole location at-
tach the marker mount (3) to the marker mount
adapters (1) using 5/8” x 1 3/4” bolts 5/8” lock
washers and 5/8” nuts. Tighten bolts.
4. Measure from the inside end of the marker
mount (3) to the outside surface of the drill cen-
ter frame as shown in the charts. Set the mark-
er mount (3) to the correct distance and tighten
U-bolts (2).
5. Install the right-hand marker mount (9) to the
right-hand side using steps 2 through 4.
6. Install the marker valve mount (5) just to the
right of center on the coulter frame tube. Clamp
the marker valve mount (5) in place with a 1/2”
x 4” x 5 1/4” U-bolt. Assemble the valve (6) to
the mount with the 4-port side downward using
two 3/8" x 3/4" long bolts (7) and 3/8” lock
washers.
7. Install the six JCI fittings in the ports with the el-
bows facing out.
NOTE: JIC fittings do not require high torque. JIC
and O-Ring fittings do not require sealant. Always
use liquid pipe sealant when adding or replacing
pipe thread fittings. To avoid possible danger of
cracking hydraulic fittings from over tightening, DO
NOT use plastic sealant tape.
