The machine must not be used in any way
beforehand! The machine can only be re-
leased for operation after instructions have
been provided by our service technicians or
authorised distributors.
• If any modules or parts have been removed
for transportation, these shall be mounted by
our service technicians/authorised dealers
before the instruction takes place.
• Check all important screw connections!
• Lubricate all nipples and joints!

2.2 Transportation
The X-Press can be transported on public
roads by hitching it up to a tractor or on a
low-loader.

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.

public roads, it must be adjusted to its
transportation position and the stipulations

should be made at ground level;
lowering the machine may be
necessary to achieve this.
