Introduction
This manual has been prepared to instruct you in the
safe and efficient operation of your Stand Up Markers.
Read and follow all instructions and safety precautions
carefully.
The parts on your Stand Up Markers have been spe-
cially designed and should only be replaced with genuine Great Plains parts. Therefore, should your Stand
Up Markers require replacement parts go to your Great
Plains Dealer.
The right hand and left hand as used throughout this
manual is determined by facing in the direction the ma
chine will travel when in use unless otherwise stated.

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates that there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precautions must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that fol
lows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment; hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

Section 1 Safety Rules
Section 1 Safety Rules
Most accidents are the result of negligence and carelessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to follow simple but necessary safety precautions. The
following safety precautions are suggested to help pre
vent such accidents. The safe operation of any machinery is a big concern to consumers and
manufacturers.Your Stand Up Markers have been de
signed with many built-in safety features. However, no
one should operate this product before carefully reading
this Operators Manual.

General Operation & Repair
1. NEVER permit anyone near machinery while in operation.
2. Excessive speed can cause marker damage.
3. NEVER allow anyone to be near the drill when cycling
the markers.
4. Reduce speed of the tractor when transporting over uneven or rough terrain. Avoid all chuck holes and washboard areas in roads.
5. Reduce speed of the tractor when transporting over hills
or steep slopes.
6. DO NOT lubricate, adjust or repair the drill while it is in
operation.
7. Use "Slow Moving Vehicle" emblem for warning vehicles
approaching from the rear.
8. DO NOT permit smoking, sparks, or an open flame
where combustible lubricants or liquids are being used.
9.! CAUTION! Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin.
Check all hydraulic lines and hoses BEFORE applying
pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, NOT BODY
PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek
medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with this
type of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be surgi
cally removed within a few hours or gangrene will result.
Transporting
1. Use good judgement when transporting tractor and im-
-
plements on the highway. Always maintain complete control of the machine.
2. Use warning flags or approved warning lights at night
and during other periods of poor visibility. Do your best
to prevent highway accidents.
3. When in transport, use accessory lights and devices for
adequate warning to operators of other vehicles and use
safety hitch chain. Comply with all Federal, State and
Local laws when traveling on public roads.
4. Reduce speed of the tractor when transporting over hills
or steep slopes.
5. Reduce speed of the tractor when transporting over uneven or rough terrain. Avoid all chuck holes and washboard areas in roads.
Safety Decals
1. Your Stand Up Markers come equipped with all safety
decals in place. They were designed to help you safely
operate your Markers. Read and follow their directions.
2. Keep safety decals clean and legible.
3. Replace all damaged or missing safety decals. To order
new safety decals go to your Great Plains Dealer and
refer to the parts section for safety decal package part
number.
4. Replace these decals whenever they become worn or unreadable. To instal new safety decals:
a. Clean the area the decal is to be placed
b. Peel backing from the decal. Press firmly on to sur-
face being careful not to cause air bubbles under the
decal.

Section 3 Operating Instructions
Installation Instructions
Refer to the parts section of this manual for visual
representation of the parts and their locations.
1. Attach fittings to cylinder ports. Attach the needle
valve and hoses to the cylinder fittings as shown in
Fig.???. Route hoses down to the drill frame and
along the back side of the drill frame tubes to the
center of the drill.
Important: Before folding the marker, bleed all the air
out of the hydraulic system. Refer to "Bleeding of the Hy
draulics" on page 5.
2. To bleed the air out of the hydraulic system, remove
Section 3 Operating Instructions
Bleeding of the Hydraulics
1. Be sure tractor hydraulic reservoir if full.
Note: Never attempt to bleed an O-ring type fitting. Instead, choose a pipe or JIC fitting nearby.
2. With the marker(s) in field position, crack the hydraulic hose fitting(s) located at the base end of the
cylinder(s). With your tractor at an idle speed, activate your tractor hydraulic valve until hydraulic oil
seeps out around the hose ends. Tighten the hose
end fittings and repeat this process with the hose
end fitting(s) located at the rod end of the cylinder(s). If dual markers are used with a sequence
valve, follow the procedure above for one marker
cylinder. Then crack the fittings on the back side of
the sequence valve, activate the tractor hydraulics
valve until hydraulic oil seeps out around the hose
ends. Tighten the hose end fittings and repeat the
complete process for the opposite marker cylinder.
3. Fold and unfold the marker(s) slowly in order to work
all the air out of your marker hydraulics. Use caution
when folding and unfolding the marker for the first
time, and check for pinching and kinking of hoses.
!
Never allow anyone near the drill when cycling the markers.
4. The marker hydraulic system is equipped with a
CAUTION!
needle valve to control how fast the marker operates. Systems without a sequence valve have needle valves at each cylinder. On systems with a
sequence valve, the needle valve is built into the sequence valve body. There are two hex adjustment
heads, one for each side of the drill. To adjust your
markers, screw the needle valve in to adjust the
marker speed to a low setting. Fold the marker up
and down a few times and recheck for pinching and
kinking of hoses. With the tractor engine at an oper-
the marker cylinder pin from the rod end of the cylinder, support the cylinder with the base end pin and
block supporting the body of the cylinder on the first
marker section. Cycle the marker cylinder several
times to work the air out of the system.
3. After all of the air is removed from the system, refer
to Fig.??? and repin the cylinder with the clevis pin
(# ), 1/8" cotter pin (# ), and 1" flat washers (# ).
4. Referring to Fig.???, adjust the speed of the marker
with the needle valve (# ) to a low setting. Fold the
-
marker up and down a few times and recheck for
pinching and kinking of hoses. Reset folding speed
with the needle valve to a safe speed.
ating rpm, adjust the needle valve to limit the marker
to a safe operating speed. Excessive folding speeds
can cause marker damage.
!
Excessive folding speeds can cause marker damage!
Escaping Fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and houses before applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small hole
can be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not body
parts, to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek medical assistance form a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.
Foreign fluids in the tissue must be surgically removed within
a few hours or gangrene will result.
General Notes
The markers cycle in the following sequence
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.
CAUTION!

Always transport the marker with it folded in the flat fold
position. Make sure the second marker section(s) rests
securely on the transport carrier(s).
