2. Transportation / Installation
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
1 Fully raise the machine on the transport
axle and the front linkage.
2 Open the taps on the wing cylinders.
3 Unfold the wings and continue to
pressure down to ensure they will hold in work.
2.5.2 Folding into the
Transport Position
1 Fully 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).
2 Fold the wings.
3 Shut the taps on the wing cylinders to
secure them for transport.
4 Clean any loose material off the
machine to avoid dropping onto the carriageway.
5 The machine is now ready for road
transport.
Road transport speed should not exceed 25kmh (16mph) .

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?

Please read the section entitled "Using Lubricants" carefully before lubricating the machine. The machine must be lubricated regularly in order for it to remain serviceable. Regular lubrication also contributes towards extending the service life of your machine. The recommended lubricating intervals are specified in "Inspection" and "Maintenance Intervals".
After it has been washed using a high­pressure hose or steam cleaned, the machine should always be lubricated using a grease gun. Ensure that the universal joints and splined shafts are lubricated regularly.
4.9 Handling of Lubricants
Please ensure that you read the following instructions as well as the relevant information. This also applies to any of your employees who handle lubricants.
Hygiene
Lubricants do not present a health hazard provided they are used for their specified purpose.
Always exercise extreme care and observe the recommended hygiene rules when handling mineral oil products. Details of these handling regulations can be found in information provided by the health authorities.
Storage and Handling
• Always store lubricants where they cannot be accessed by children.
• Never store lubricants in open or unlabelled containers.
Fresh Oil
• Apart from taking the usual care and obser­ving hygiene rules, there is no need to take any special precautions when handling fresh oil.
Waste Oil
• 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.

• Use special cleaning agents to clean any dirt off your hands.
• Never wash oil residue from your skin with petrol, diesel fuel or paraffin.
• Avoid skin contact with any oily clothing.
• Do not keep any oily rags in your pockets.
• Wash soiled clothing before wearing it again.
• Ensure that any oily footwear is disposed of in the proper manner.

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 -
