SPRING TRIP BEAM

BEAM TRIP

PLOW BOTTOM

The beam trips are factory set for average soil
conditions. This setting is slightly higher than the
minimum load limit.

Should conditions require an increase in the trip load,
tighten either the adjusting bolt or the nut while
holding the opposite end with a second wrench.
Tighten the adjusting bolt and nut until the frequency
of tripping does not handicap the plowing operation.

Tightening the adjusting bolt and nut increases the
load limit and reduces the frequency of tripping in
hard ground, alfalfa, etc., but will at the same time
increase the possibility of bottom damage.

Loosening this same adjusting bolt and nut reduces
the load limit and may increase the tripping action,
but will minimize bottom damage.

Beam Trip Pivot Bolt

The 1 inch slotted nut which secures the pivot bolts
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 couple of acres, it
will be necessary to tighten the pivot bolt nut due to
the “wear in” of the mating parts.

It is not necessary to disturb the adjustment of the
helper springs when the trip unit is opened for
examination or cleaning. 

Opening the Beam Trip

The recommended method is to insert a bar through
the access hole in the plate and pry up on the spring.
This will free the beam in a manner which will not
disturb the setting of the helper springs.

It is recommended that each trip be opened as
described above before placing the plow in
operation. Remove any accumulation of dried paint
but do not lubricate the spring, notch or roller. Do this
again at the beginning of each plowing season and
remove any dirt or rust which may interfere with
operation. Open and close the unit several times to
check the trip action. 

The replaceable shin, landside and share provide a
quick and economical means for renewing the points
that have maximum wear. The shares are the
throwaway type designed for replacement instead of
sharpening or renewal. Shares are available in
regular, upset and deep-suck styles.
