4.13 Parking the 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.
 Lower the machine onto the parking
stands / tines ensuring that it is stable.
 Remove the toplink and lower the link
arms so that pins can be removed.
 Switch off the tractor.
4. Adjustment / Operation
4.11 TurboJet
The Simba DTX can be fitted with an
optional TurboJet Oil Seed Rape applicator.
The Turbo Jet is an air seeder unit which
uses two fans to deliver seed behind the
rear roll in work.
The TurboJet can be operated from the cab
of the tractor using an advanced computer
control module, the RDS Wizard System.

4.12 Work Instructions
Driving speed
The Simba DTX 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:
Before turning, the machine should
be lifted out of work while driving.
Likewise, it should lowered back
into work once the turn has been
completed.
4.14 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?
 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?
