2.4 Hitching Up
2.4.1 Hitching up a Tractor
to an X-Press fitted with a
Trailing Kit / Preparing for
Transport
When hitching-up the machine,
ensure that no-one is between the
tractor and the machine.
When the X-Press is parked for
extended periods of time it should
ideally be left in the unfolded, i.e.
work position for stability, safety and
ease of access for maintenance.
However, parking the X-Press in the
folded position (ensuring that the
wing cylinder taps are closed) is
acceptable in the normal course of
operation.
Tractor Oil Flow Adjustment:
As a general rule the tractor oil flow
rate should be set in the lowest
setting before starting. This can then
be increased to allow the desired
rate of operation as applicable. This
will minimise excessive oil flow and
consequent power usage and heat
generation.
4.Raise the front of the machine and move
the parking stand to the work position.
5.If the machine is already folded it is now
ready for transport. If the machine is
unfolded please refer to 2.5.2.
Ensure that the wing taps are closed
before transporting the machine.
2.5 Folding and Unfolding
2.5.1 Unfolding into the Work
Position
1Fully raise the machine on the transport
axle and the front linkage.
2Open the taps on the wing cylinders.
3Unfold the wings and continue to
pressure down to ensure they will hold
in work.
2.5.2 Folding into the
Transport Position
1Fully raise the machine on the transport
axle and the front linkage.
1.Reverse the tractor up to the bar coupler
and engage the link arms.
2.Ensure the tractor hydraulics are
depressurised and in the locked or
closed (not float) setting.
3.Couple the hydraulic hoses to the tractor
ensuring that the two wing hoses
(yellow) are together and the lift cylinder
hoses (red) are together. (if the optional
front cylinder is fitted connect these
hoses also).
2Fold the wings.
3Shut the taps on the wing cylinders to
secure them for transport.
4Clean any loose material off the
machine to avoid dropping onto the
carriageway.
5The machine is now ready for road
transport.

Operating Instructions

3. Adjustment / Operation
3.2 Work Settings
The X-Press should be run with the chassis
level to slightly tail low. In practice it is possible
to use the X-Press on ground conditions that
are unsuitable to achieve the desired effect,
and it is usually possible to operate the DD
Light roll without regular blockage under such
unsuitable conditions, assuming that the roll
assemblies are tight, the scrapers correctly
adjusted and rings smooth. As such,
especially under wet conditions, it is advisable
to check on the cultivation effect of the XPress.
Optimum performance has been found to be
achieved when the DD Light roll rings have
worn away the painted finish leaving a smooth
shiny surface. When the DD Light rings are
new or rusty, soil may tend to pick up on the
surface and blockage may occur, this will
reduce when the rings are shiny again.
The X-Press should be lifted fully clear of the
ground onto the transport wheels for all
headland turns. Turning with the disc units or
roller on the ground could lead to damage of
these components.
The changes must be made with the finished
cultivation in mind. Increasing rear blade
angle could lead to blocking of the blades /
roller in some circumstances.
If the rear roller is not giving enough
consolidation the tractor linkage may be
raised slightly to transfer weight to the roller.
Alternatively, reducing forward speed will
allow the roller more time to consolidate the
ground.
If an optional front cylinder is fitted to the
machine this can be used to alter the front to
rear pitch of the machine.
3.3 Adjusting Depth
Working depth is controlled using the tractor
linkage and the roll linkage.
Roll depth is controlled using the depth stops
and pins on the roll linkage. Reversing the
depth stop through 180° and refitting gives a
finer depth adjustment.
In work machine will want to normally move to
the left due to the forces acting on the front
and rear gangs. This can be countered by
allowing the machine to be offset from the
tractor centre line by enabling the tractor
linkage to float sideways. This is done by
removing or loosening the linkage sway bars.
If the machine always moves to the left either:
a)reduce the front gang angle to reduce
the forces acting on the front blades
which will move the machine towards
the centre or
b)increase the angle on the rear blades
to increase the forces acting on them.
Fig. 3.02: X-Press with Trailing Kit in work position
When the depth has been altered, lower the
machine into work and check operation. If
the depth change has been significant then
other setting could be affected. This could
be chassis pitch (front to rear) and disc angle
for the given depth.
A small amount of cultivation, eg. a 20 metre
run, should be carried out before altering
these settings to check whether they are now
suitable for the cultivation effect required.
These settings should be addressed
immediately to prevent too much work being
carried out.

3. Adjustment / Operation
3.4 Work Instructions
Driving speed
The X-Press can be driven at speeds of up
to 12 km/h.
This depends on the field conditions (type of
soil, surface trash, etc.).
Drive more slowly if the conditions are difficult
or a firmer finish is required.
Turning:
The X-Press should be lifted fully
clear of the ground onto the transport
wheels for all headland turns (using
the rear cylinder). Turning with the
disc units or roller on the ground
could lead to damage of these
components.
The transport wheels should be fully raised in
work.
3.5 Parking the
3.6 Checks
The working quality depends on the
adjustments and checks made prior to and
during work, as well as on regular servicing
and maintenance of the machine.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary servicing
and to lubricate the machine as required.
Checks prior to, and during
work:
• Is the machine correctly hitched up and the
coupling device locked?
• Have the hydraulic lines been connected
according to the colour coding?
• Is the machine in a level operating position
and the working depth set correctly?
Working Elements
• Are the discs and other cultivation tools in a
serviceable condition?
• Are the scrapers still operable, so that the
rolls do not jam?
machine
In order to avoid damage as a
result of moisture, the machine
should be parked, if possible, indoors or
under cover.
When manoeuvring the machine, pay attention
to your surroundings. Ensure that nobody is
in the manoeuvring area (watch for children!).
• Park the machine on level and solid ground.
• Raise the machine and lower the parking
stand.
• Lower the machine to the ground, ensuring
that it is stable.

• Waste oil can contain harmful contaminants
which may cause skin cancer, allergies and
other illnesses.
Attention!
Oil is a toxic substance. Should you swallow
any oil, do not try to vomit. Contact a doctor
immediately.
Protect your hands with barrier cream or wear
gloves to avoid contact with the skin. Wash
off any traces of oil thoroughly with soap and
hot water.
In the case of prolonged skin contact,
lubricants - especially low-viscosity oils - may
remove the natural layer of fat contained in
the skin, resulting in dryness and possible
irritation .
It is important to take extreme care when
handling waste oil as it may contain other
irritants.
Vapours given off by cleaning agents and oils
are also a potential health hazard.
You should therefore not carry any oily cloths
around. Change soiled work clothing as soon
as possible.

4. Servicing and Maintenance
Measures in case of injury
through oil
Eyes:
Should any oil be splashed into your eyes,
rinse with water for 15 minutes. If the eye is
still irritated, contact a doctor immediately
If oil is swallowed
If oil is swallowed, it is important not to induce
vomiting. Contact a doctor immediately.
Skin irritation caused by oil
In case of prolonged skin contact, wash off
the oil with soap and water.
Oil Spills
Use either sand or a suitable granular
absorbent to soak up any spilt oil. Dispose of
the oil-contaminated absorbent in the proper
manner.
Oil Fires
Never use water to extinguish an oil fire. The
oil will float on the water causing the fire to
spread.
4.10 Lubricants &
Hydraulic Oil
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic fluid from the tractor is mixed
with the hydraulic fluid from the machine.
The supplied machine hydraulic system
contains Total AZOLLA ZS 32 oil.
Lubricants
Simba strongly recommend the use of
Lithium Complex EP2 Grease in the disc
hubs of your X-Press. This grease is a
Lithium Complex soap dispersed in a mineral oil and is interpreted by IARC as being
non-carcinogenic. Grease cartridges are
available from Simba (P12710). Using this
grease in combination with the labyrinth type
seal it is permissible to lengthen the greasing interval on the disc hubs to 200 hours.
If using a standard agricultural grease the
disc hubs should be lubricated every 50
hours.
Burning oil-lubricant must be extinguished
using a carbon dioxide powder or foam
extinguisher. Always wear respiratory
equipment when dealing with fires of this type.
Waste Oil Disposal
Oil-contaminated waste and used oil must be
disposed of in accordance with current
legislation.
Waste oil must be collected and disposed of
in accordance with local regulations. Never
pour used oil into unsealed sewage systems
or drains or onto the ground.
Advantages of Lithium Complex EP2
Grease
Excellent mechanical stability.
Excellent load carrying properties.
Wide temperature range.
Excellent oxidation stability.
Excellent water resistance.
Compatability with other greases.
All other lubricating points on the machine can
be lubricated with multigrade lubricating
grease as specified in DIN 51825 KP/2K -
