Marker Position Switch
FIG. 22: As the planter frame hitch cylinder extends, the
marker position switch (1) opens, disconnecting the
marker raise/lower circuit. When the frame is unfolded
and the hitch is level with the frame, the position switch is
closed, permitting normal marker operation.
Tri-fold Breakaway Marker
The tri-fold breakaway marker includes a notched disc.
When the breakaway marker makes contact with a solid
obstruction, the shear bolt can give with some resistance
and break.
Shear Bolts
FIG. 23: The markers are protected with a 3/8 x 3 Inch
Grade 5 shear bolt (1) and lock nut.
Tighten the lock nut to 42 Nm (23 lbf ft).
IMPORTANT: Replace only with the correct size and
grade.
NOTE: Use a bolt with a shoulder, and not a full threaded
bolt.
