Made in the U.S.A.
PREPARATION AND SETUP
SHIPPING CONFIGURATION
The majority of the 1tRIPr® is assembled at Orthman Mfg., Inc. The 1tRIPr® is as-
sembled in an appropriate shipping configuration to ensure transport safety and efficiency
from the manufacturer. Installation of optional tooling (if applicable) and adjustment of
installed tooling is necessary prior to an initial field trial.
The shipping configuration provides even implement weight distribution between the
depth band coulter assembly and the wavy coulter assemblies. The trash opener
assembly and the tillage shank assembly do not bear implement weight, as illustrated
above.
Prior to off-season storage, it is recommended to restore the 1tRIPr® row units to the ship-
ping configuration illustrated above to avoid placing weight on the trash opener or tillage
shank assembly. When storing in-season, lower implement very slowly to avoid sharp
impact between the storage surface and the tillage shank assembly foot piece.
NOTE: The tillage shank assembly foot piece consists of a hard material to decrease
wear and improve field performance. Due to material hardness, sharp impact, excessive
weight, etc. can damage the tillage shank assembly foot piece.
