Ensure the SL is unfolded.
1. Raise machine to add or remove any
shims in the axle cylinder to attain a
suitable height to attach the trailing
press.
2. Reverse the SL up to the press roll,
ensuring that the drawbars are correctly
aligned allowing a slight clearance to
enable the machines to be coupled
together.
3. Attach the hydraulic hoses between the
SL and the press roll.
4. Open the taps on the press roll drawbar.
5. Raise the press roll drawbar in line with
the SL drawbar clevis.
6. Close the press roll drawbar taps.

2. Transportation / Installation
2.7 When driving on the
road
When driving on the road the machine must
be converted to the transportation position.
When driving on the road, raise the
machine completely to prevent the
working elements dragging on the
ground.
2.8 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.
• Raise the machine and lower the parking
stand.
• Lower the machine to the ground, ensuring
that it is stable.
When parking with the machine
unfolded, ensure that no load is
carried by the Terra-Grip tines.
This can lead to breakage of the
points.
• Disengage from the linkage and drive
forward slowly until the tractor is clear.
• Switch off the tractor.
• Disconnect hydraulic lines from the tractor. Ensure that no fouling occurs
between the SL and the towed
machine.
Any tines on the towed machine
should be adjusted so that they do
not engage the soil (or should be
removed altogether). In instances
where a Simba UniPress is towed
behind the SL the UniPress tine
frame should be removed
completely.
