Procedure to Modify:

Use SCV I to raise and lower the implement frame. The implement raise and lower is not controlled from this page. If the marker function is tied to the frame function, the markers raise and lower with the frame.

Use SCV II to raise and lower the markers if the marker function is independently connected.

Use SCV II to raise and lower the implement drawbar. The drawbar function is always independently connected. The markers and drawbar share SCV II when both are installed.

  1. Select a frame function to enable it for action.

  2. Engage the SCV connected to the function.
