Toggle Trip Shank
The Toggle Trip ripper shank is designed to trip when the shank encounters an immovable obstacle.
The trip link will flex causing the center pin to rise and the shank to pivot vertically rearward, up and
over the obstacle. To reset the Toggle Trip ripper shank, the toolbar should be lifted until the ripper
points on all shanks are above the ground. Once clear, gravity will cause the tripped shank to swing
down pulling the trip links back into their initial positions. The toolbar can then be lowered and use can
continue as normal.
Trip Pressure Adjustment
The trip force of the Toggle Trip ripper shank is set using the 5/8 setscrew. The setscrew rests against
the top surface of the trip link and holds the front end of the rear link member. The distance the set-
screw is threaded out between the top of the trip link and the bottom of the rear link is set to 17/32” at
the factory and should not need further adjusting. However, should the setscrew need adjusting, the
proper steps for setting the setscrew distance are:
1) Place the head of a 3/8” bolt between the trip link and the bottom of the rear link,
2) Adjust setscrew until the end just touches the top of the trip link,
3) Remove 3/8” bolt,
4) Turn the setscrew ¼ turn counter-clockwise and lock in place with the jam nut
Any distance less than 17/32” can cause severe damage to the trip mechanism and the shank
may not trip if it hits an obstacle, causing damage to the entire shank and possibly the toolbar.
