4.4 Parking
When attached to the Mounted Simba X-
Press the machine should be parked resting
on the parking stands and the tines. With
the machine raised the rear parking stands
on the Simba X-Press should be moved into
the parking position. The machine can now
be lowered onto the tines and stands (see
Fig. 4.02 below).
When detached, the Simba ST-Bar should
be parked resting on its parking stands
and the tines for stability and the Simba
X-Press can be parked using its front and
rear parking stands (see Fig. 4.03).
4.2 Work Instructions
Turning:
Before turning, the machine should
be lifted out of work while driving. It
should lowered back into work once
the turn has been completed.
4.3 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 component.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary
servicing required.
Working Elements
• Are the Tines in good working order?
4.5 Adjustment
There are several ways to adjust the Simba
ST-Bar in order to get the best results. See
Fig. 4.04 below.
The main depth of the combined machines
(Toolbar & X-Press) is governed by the rear
roll of the Simba X-Press. The tine depth
is controlled by adjusting the tine leg (C).
However a greater degree of tine settings
can be attained by utilising the linkage
between the Toolbar and the Simba X-Press
(A & B). For instance, if the lower link (B)
is placed in the upper hole on the Simba
X-Press linkage it will create a shallower
working range for the tines. Alternatively,
placed in the lower hole on the Simba
X-Press linkage, a deeper working range is
achieved. The toplink adjuster (A) can be
used to alter the pitch between the Toolbar
and Simba X-Press if desired.
