Comply with state and local laws governing implement safety lighting. • A safety lighting package, conforming to implement lighting standard ANSI/ASAE S279.12, if not supplied with, is available for addition to your equipment. Contact your Orthman dealer for safety lighting package information. Refer to toolbar operator’s manual for safety lighting package installation and adjustment.
SAFETY INFORMATION SAFE OPERATION C A U T I O N READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE CONTENT OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING OR SERVICING IMPLEMENT . Implement is to be operated by qualified per- sonnel only. Never let children operate implement. A complete understanding of safety precautions, operation, and maintenance is mandatory before implement use.
SAFETY INFORMATION PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE Proper maintenance is your responsibility. Maintenance neglect and/or poor maintenance W A R N I N G practices can result in injury or death. Always use the proper tools to maintain implement. 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION ORTHMAN SERIAL TAG The Orthman serial tag contains valuable information. The model and serial numbers pro- vide Orthman dealers and the Orthman Service Department with the exact specifications of your implement if any warranty or service issues need to be addressed.
153 - 045 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.
Page 19
Field adjustments are illustrated and explained in the field settings section of this manual. If an Orthman toolbar is used in conjunction with 1tRIPr® row units, be sure to consult the toolbar operator’s manual before attempting to operate the implement. Read and under- stand operator manuals for machinery used in conjunction with the 1tRIPr®.
NOTE: Right and left as illustrated above and referenced from this point on, is determined by facing the same direction the implement will travel while in use. 1. TOOLBAR. Proven Orthman toolbar design provides unmatched strength. 2. MOUNT . A wrap- around mount provides a long lasting row unit foundation.
TOOLING OPTIONS AND INSTALLATION ROLLING BASKET ASSEMBLY An optional rolling basket assembly is available to complement the 1tRIPr® row unit. Roll- ing baskets reduce clod size, retain existing soil moisture, firm, and complete the optimum seedbed. The rolling basket is mounted to the rear of the row unit tail section.
If combining strip-tillage and planting operations with a Combo Caddy or attachment package, lateral offset of the 1tRIPr® row unit relative to seed placement is recommended to allow fertilizer placement without detriment to seed germination. Depth Indicator...

This helps protect the shank and wavy coulter tooling. The Automatic Reset “AR” Linkage will be installed on your 1tRIPr® machine from the factory if ordered with that option. The AR Linkage can also be ordered as a package and adapted to any standard row unit made in 2009 or later.

Remove buildup of grease, oil, or debris prior to adjusting. 3. T o install the main pivot bolt and crush sleeve, the tail section of the 1tRIPr® row unit will have to be removed. Be sure to use a safe, adequate lifting device. It may be easier to manipulate the tail section of the row unit with the tillage shank in a raised position.

If a rigid toolbar is used with the 1tRIPr® row units, down pressure adjustment between row units typically varies slightly. If a folding or stacking toolbar is used, wing sections tend to float upward, unless mechanically restrained.
FIELD SETTINGS TRASH OPENER ASSEMBLY DEPTH The trash opener assembly reduces field residue directly behind the depth band coulter assembly prior to the arrival of rearward tooling. The trash opener assembly can be vertically pin adjusted in 1/4 inch increments. D A N G E R AVOID CRUSHING.

FIELD SETTINGS TILLAGE SHANK ASSEMBLY DEPTH (MOLE SHANK OR MOLE KNIFE) Inset The mole shank assembly or mole knife assembly shatters the root zone compacted layer while placing fertilizer at two precision depths, if desired. Once compacted layer depth and thickness is researched and established, tillage shank assembly depth is adjusted accordingly.

Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement. Lower implement to the ground, place tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key.
(RIGHT HAND WAVY COUL TER PICTURED) C A U T I O N NOTE: If utilizing a Combo Caddy and the 1tRIPr® row units are mounted to a double Be extremely careful working toolbar, the wavy coulters near the Combo Caddy lift wheels must occupy the forward around unshielded sharp edges.
ROLLING BASKET DOWN PRESSURE An optional rolling basket assembly is available to complement the 1tRIPr® row unit. Rolling baskets reduce clod size to decrease soil variability, retain existing soil moisture, firm, and complete the optimum seedbed. Rolling baskets are mounted to the rear of the row unit tail section.
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.
Page 47
At that time the operator should stop and replace the shear bolt. Use a ½” by 3” long bolt. Orthman recommends using a grade 5. A grade 2 bolt can be used, but the opera- tor must be aware that a grade 2 could shear too easily, and a softer grade 2 bolt may deform or bend instead of shear off clean.
Refer to recognized sources. (pg. 2 - 7) The Orthman 1tRIPr® Mole Shank Assembly can be used to place fertilizer at 2 different depths simultaneously, and depending on your fertilizer setup could be used to apply 2 different rates of fertilizer in the strip at precisely 2 different depths.
Page 49
Refer to recognized sources. (pg. 2 - 7) The 1tRIPr® tail has routing holes that can be used for liquid or NH3 fertilizer tube routing. A front and back hole on each side of the tail allows for dual tubes to be held in place.
Refer to recognized sources. (pg. 2 - 7) The Orthman 1tRIPr® Mole Shank Assembly can also be used to place fertilizer at 2 different depths simultaneously with one of those options being dry fertilizer. The Adjust- able Dry Fertilizer Boot and be used for applying dry fertilizer under the ground at various depths, and can also be used in conjunction with one liquid fertilizer tube.
Page 51
This is due to the fact that the purchaser of an Orthman Atlas Cart may already own an older version of the 1tRIPr® machine that does not have the diffuser mount holes in the tail.
When the obstacle is passed over, four powerful reset springs, will drive the 1tRIPr® shank back into the ground, in most conditions. The Automatic Reset Linkage helps to protect valuable tooling from breaking and bending in rough and rocky soil conditions.
Page 53
The closer point “C” is to that line the more difficult it is to trip. The further away point “C” is from that line the easier it is to trip. Our factory setting from Orthman Mfg. puts this point “C” further from that line so it trips easily. Our factory setting (or distance “X” is ¾”) Operators are encouraged to adjust this setting by loosening the jam nut under point “C”...
Page 54
FIELD SETTINGS The preset tension in the four reset springs will affect two things. The amount of force available to drive the shank back into the ground from the tripped position, and the amount of force required to trip the linkage. A higher spring tension will increase both of these.
Page 55
AR linkage setting that works well for you. The standard version of the 1tRIPr® without the AR linkage is equipped with a shear bolt (pg. 5-11, 5-12). The amount of force it takes to shear this bolt is slightly over 8,000 lbs.
3. Raise wavy coulter assemblies. Wavy coulters can act as a “footprint” and prevent soil penetration. (pg. 5 - 8) 4. If a rigid toolbar is used with the 1tRIPr® row units, down pressure adjustment between row units typically varies slightly. If a folding or stacking toolbar is used, wing sec- tions tend to float upward, unless mechanically restrained.

Slower ground speeds generally reduce plugging by allowing residue to smoothly pass through row unit tooling. 4.
