2.4 Connecting the Simba
ST-Bar to the Mounted
Simba X-Press
1. Attach the parking stands to the Simba
X-Press (see Fig. 4.03 on page 17)).
2. The Mounted Simba X-Press should be
parked on a firm, level surface using
all four parking stands.
3. Attach the Simba ST-Bar to the tractor
using the link pins provided with the
Mounted Simba X-Press.
4. Using pins, fit the spacer balls to the
Simba X-Press lower links.
5. With the Toolbar attached to the tractor,
align the rear linkage of the Toolbar
with the linkage of the Mounted Simba
X-Press. The rear parking stands and/
or roll height of the Simba X-Press can
be used to level the machine enabling
easier linkage. Engage the balls in the
hooks on the lower links of the Simba
X-Press.
6. Fit the Toplink Adjuster on the Toolbar
to the Simba X-Press upper link.
2.3 Installation
When carrying out installation and
maintenance work there is a higher risk
of injury. It is important that you familiarise
yourself with the component and read the
Operating Instructions beforehand.
2. Transportation and
Installation
Transportation and initial installation of the
machine are described in this chapter.
2.1 Delivery
The Toolbar unit is normally delivered, fully
assembled, on a (low-bed) truck.
The machine can be lifted off with a
crane, fork-lift truck, or other suitable lifting
equipment.
When doing so, the weight, the centre of
gravity and the attachment points on the
unit are to be taken into account.
Depending on the lifting gear, attachment is
only to be at appropriate points on the frame.
2.2 Transportation
The Simba ST-Bar unit must be lifted clear
of the ground for road transport.
It is important to observe the permitted
dimensions and weights when transporting
the machine.
If the machine is transported on a trailer or a
low-loader, it must be secured using straps
or other devices.
Before transporting the machine on public
roads, it must be adjusted to its transportation
position and the stipulations relating to road
transportation fulfilled.
The maximum permissible speed is 25 km/h.
