accidents, reduce repair costs and downtime
and increase the reliability and service life
of your machine. Pay attention to the safety
instructions!
SIMBA will not accept any responsibility for
any damage or malfunctions resulting from
failure to comply with the Operating
Instructions.
These Operating Instructions will assist you
in getting to know your component and in using
it correctly for its intended purposes. First, you
are given general instructions in handling the
component. This is followed by sections on
servicing, maintenance and the action to be
taken should a malfunction occur.
We reserve the right to alter
illustrations as well as technical data
and weights contained in these
Operating Instructions for the purpose
of improving the component.
Warranty Guidelines
1. The period of liability for material defects
(warranty) relating to our products is 12
months. In the case of written deviations

They shall become effective upon installation

parts are excluded from the warranty.
2. Warranty claims must be submitted to the

and followed by all persons working on or
with the component, e.g.:
• Operation (including preparation, remedying
of faults in the operating sequence and
servicing).
• Maintenance (maintenance and inspection)
• Transportation.
Together with the Operating Instructions, you
receive a Spare Parts List and a Machine
Registration form. Field service technicians

servicing of your machine. Following this,
the Machine Registration form is to be
returned to SIMBA. This confirms your
formal acceptance of the machine. The
warranty period begins on the date of delivery.

the old parts, the old parts must be returned

Safety Data
1. Safety Data
The following warnings and safety instructions
apply to all sections of these Operating
Instructions. All safety instructions for the
machine should be followed.
1.1 Operating Instructions:
The Operating Instructions distinguish
between three different types of warning and
safety instructions. The following graphic
symbols are used:
Important!
Risk of injury!
Risk of fatal and serious injuries!
It is important that all the safety instructions
contained in these Operating Instructions
and all the warning signs on the machine
are read carefully.
1.2 Use for the Intended
Purpose
The SIMBA Series 5 Toolbar is built using
the latest technology and in accordance with
the relevant recognised safety regulations.
However, risks of injury for the operator or third
parties and impairment of the machine or
other tangible assets can arise during use.
The Toolbar unit is only to be operated when
in a technically perfect condition and for the
intended purpose, taking into consideration
safety and risks and following the Operating
Instructions. In particular, faults that can
impair safety are to be remedied
immediately.
Original parts and accessories from SIMBA
have been specially designed for this unit.
Spare parts and accessories not supplied by
us have not been tested or authorised.
Installation or use of non-original SIMBA
products may have a detrimental effect on
specific design features of the unit and affect
the safety of machine operators. SIMBA will
accept no liability for damage resulting from
the use of non-original parts or accessories.
Ensure that the warning signs are legible.
Replace any signs that are missing or
damaged.
These instructions must be followed in order
to prevent accidents. Inform other users of
the warnings and safety instructions.
Do not carry out any operations which may
affect safe use of the machine.
The SIMBA Series 5 Toolbar is designed
solely as a Toolbar unit. Use for any other
purpose, e.g., as a means of transport, will
be deemed to be improper use. SIMBA will
accept no liability for damage resulting from
improper use. The risk will be borne solely by
the operator.

Safety Data
1.3 Operational Safety
All protective and safety equipment, such as
removable protective equipment, must be in
place and functioning reliably before the
machine is put in use.
Check screws and bolts regularly for
tightness and retighten if necessary.
In the event of malfunctions, stop and
secure the machine immediately.
Ensure that any faults are remedied
immediately.
1.4 No Liability for
Consequential Damage
The Series 5 Toolbar has been manufactured
by SIMBA with great care. However,
problems may still occur when it is used for
the intended purpose. This may include:
1.5 Changing Equipment
• Use suitable supports to secure any raised
frame sections suspended above you!
• Caution! Risk of injury due to projecting parts!
1.6 During Operation
The person in charge must:
• provide the operator with a copy of the
Operating Instructions.
• ensure that the operator has read and
understood the instructions.
1.7 Servicing &
Maintenance
Ensure that regular checks and inspections
are always carried out within the periods
required by law or specified in these
Operating Instructions.
• Worn wearing parts.
• Damage caused by external factors.
• Incorrect driving speeds.
• Incorrect setting of the unit (incorrect
attachment, non-adherence to the Setting
instructions).
Therefore, it is crucial to always
check your Toolbar unit before and
during operation for correct
operation and adequate application
accuracy.
Compensation claims for damage which has
not occurred to the component is excluded.
This includes any consequential damage
resulting from incorrect operation.
Prior to performing maintenance and
servicing work, ensure that the machine is
positioned on solid, level ground and is secure
and stable.
Before cleaning the unit with water, steam jets
(high-pressure cleaning apparatus) or other
cleaning agents, cover all openings into
which, for reasons of safety or operation, no
water, steam or cleaning agents are to
