Your machine may be equipped with a color marking system. The color marking system can be used for identification of processed logs.
There are two containers for paint (2) that are located on the boom. The containers are filled through filler caps (1). The paint is fed through hoses that are routed to the harvester head.
A pump withdraws paint from the containers. The paint is pumped through hoses to a manifold. The spray nozzles are located in this manifold. The manifold is located on the holding arm of the harvester head. After the log is cut, the log is sprayed with paint.
The color marking system is controlled by the computer system for the harvester head. The logs are automatically painted according to the settings that were programmed into the computer system. The paint is sprayed onto the logs as the logs are processed.
The color marking system will not operate properly if paint is allowed to dry. The nozzles may be clogged. The hoses that carry the paint may also be clogged. If a nozzle or a hose is suspected of being clogged, cleaning is required.
The pumps may also be clogged with dry paint. The pump valves need to be cleaned.
Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Color Marking System-Clean / Inspect / Refill" for more information.

The nozzles can be moved to optional locations (5). This can be done in order to accommodate different sizes of trees. The nozzles should be moved to location (8) in order to mark larger trees (A) .
The nozzles should be moved to location (7) in order to mark average size trees (B) .
The nozzles should be moved to location (6) in order to mark small trees (C) .
Location (7) is the best location for general operation.
