Marker Speed Adjustment
Overhead Sharp Object and Crushing Hazards:
Never allow anyone near the planter when folding or
unfolding the markers. You may be injured if hit by a folding or
unfolding marker. Markers may fall quickly and unexpectedly
if the hydraulics fail. Marker discs may be sharp.
Refer to Figure 130 and Figure 131
Adjust folding speed for dual markers with hex
adjustment screws on the sequence valve body. The
valve sequence body is rear center on the lift structure,
below the fan. Loosen jam nuts before making
adjustments.
There is one adjustment screw for raising speed and
one for lowering speed . You can identify adjustment
screws by markings stamped in valve body.
