AVOID CRUSHING.
Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement. Lower implement
to the ground, place tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key.
USE BAR STANDS TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENT.
Park implement on a clean, dry,
and level surface. An uneven surface could cause implement to shift or fall, resulting in
injury or death, as well as implement damage. Securely support all implement components
that must be raised. Remove buildup of grease, oil, or debris prior to adjusting.
The Standard 1tRIPr® row unit comes with a shear bolt protected tail. The tail is mounted
to the main frame with two bolts. The lower bolt is a ½” coarse thread by 3” long grade 5
bolt. This is the shear bolt. It is installed with a ½” hex nut and ½” lock washer. The up-
per bolt is ¾” x 3” long grade 5 bolt with a ¾” flanged lock nut. This is the pivot bolt.
D A N G E R
The Standard 1tRIPr® row unit tail shear bolt is designed to protect the shank and other
tail tooling from damage by shearing when a rock or other obstacle is hit underground.
This method is only meant for occasional tripping, and is not effective in rocky condi-
tions. For more information on row unit tripping see page 5-13 of this manual and contact
Orthman Manufacturing Sales department for Automatic Reset Tripping Linkage.
When the shank encounters an immovable object, the resulting force will shear the lower
½” bolt, and the tail will rotate upward about the upper pivot bolt to clear the obstacle.
