Operating Instructions
Transportation & Installation
2.3 Installation
When carrying out installation and
maintenance work there is a higher risk of
injury. It is important that you familiarise
yourself with the component and read the
Operating Instructions beforehand.
2. Transportation and
Installation
Transportation and initial installation of the
machine are described in this chapter.
2.1 Delivery
The Toolbar unit is normally delivered, fully
assembled, on a (low-bed) truck.
The machine can be lifted off with a crane,
fork-lift truck, or other suitable lifting
equipment.
When doing so, the weight, the centre of
gravity and the attachment points on the unit
are to be taken into account.
Depending on the lifting gear, attachment is
only to be at appropriate points on the frame.
2.2 Transportation
The ST-Bar unit must be lifted clear of the
ground for road transport.
2.4 Connecting the ST-Bar
to the Mounted X-Press
1. Attach the parking stands to the X-Press
(see Fig. 3.03 on page 14 and Pages
26-30 for details).
2. The Mounted X-Press should be parked
on a firm, level surface using all four
parking stands.
3. Attach the ST-Bar to the tractor using
the link pins provided with the Mounted
X-Press.
4. Using pins, fit the balls to the X-Press
lower links (see Items 13 & 14 on Pages
18 & 20 and Items 14 & 16 on Page
22).
5. With the Toolbar attached to the tractor,
align the rear linkage of the Toolbar with
the linkage of the Mounted X-Press. The
rear parking stands and/or roll height of
the X-Press can be used to level the
machine enabling easier linkage.
Engage the balls in the hooks on the
Lower links of the X-Press.
6. Fit the Toplink Adjuster on the Toolbar
to the X-Press upper link.
