Beam Trip
Pivot Bolt
Note:
The 1-inch slotted nut which secures
the pivot
bolt "AF"
(lllust.
20) must
be kept
tight at all times. If this
is
not done, the
bottom will be loose and tend to
overcut
and
wear unevenly. Tighten the slotted nut
enough to eliminate all shake
but at the
same
time
see
that the bottom can be
rotated
by
hand on the beam pivot bolt.
This precaution
serves
to
prevent unnecessary
tripping in
hard ground due to a "walking
action"
of
the
trip mechanism. After plowing the first one
or two acres,
it
will be necessary to tighten
the pivot bolt nut
due to the "wear in" of the
mating parts.
Opening
The
Beam
Trip
It is not
necessary
to
disturb
the adjust-
ment of
the
helper springs
when
the trip
unit
is
opened for
examination
or
cleaning.
The
recommended
method is to insert
a
bar
through
the access
hole in the
plate at
"AE"
(lllust.
20),
and pry
up on the spring.
This
will free the
beam in
a manner which
will not
disturb the
setting of the
helper
springs.
Operating
Precautions
It
is
recommended that each trip be
opened as described above
before placing
the
plow
in operation. Remove any accumu-
lation
of
dried paint but
do
not lubricate the
spring, notch, or roller. Do this
again
at
the beginning of each plowing season and re-
move any
dirt or
rust which may interfere
with operation. Open and
close the
unit
several times to check
the trip action.
Note:
Hard
surface
shares
are not rec-
ommended for
rocky
conditions.

The replaceable
shin,
landside, and
share
provide a
quick and
economical
means
for renewing
the points
subject to maximum
wear.
The shares
are the
throw-away type
designed
for replacement
instead
of sharp-
ening or
renewal. Shares
are
available
in
regular, upset,
and
deep- suck
styles.
