3.2 Work Instructions
Turning:
The ST Toolbar (and Mounted X-
Press) should be lifted out of work
while turning.
3.3 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 Terra-Grip Tines in good working
order?
Adjustment / Operation
3.4 Parking
When attached to the Mounted X-Press the
machine should be parked resting on the
parking stands and the Terra-Grip tines. With
the machine raised the parking stands should
be moved into the parking position. The
machine can now be lowered onto the tines
and stands (see Fig. 3.02 below).
When detached, the ST Toolbar should be
parked resting on the its parking stands and
the Terra-Grip tines for stability (see Fig. 3.03)
3.5 Adjustment
There are several ways to adjust the ST
Toolbar in order to get the best results. See
Fig. 3.04 below.
The main depth of the combined machines
(Toolbar & X-Press) is governed by the rear
roll of the 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 X-Press (A & B). For
instance, if the lower link (B) is placed in the
upper hole on the X-Press linkage it will create
a shallower working range for the tines.
Alternatively, placed in the lower hole on the
X-Press linkage, a deeper working range is
achieved. The toplink adjuster (A) can be
used to alter the pitch between the Toolbar
and X-Press if desired.
