4.9 Work Instructions
Driving speed
The Simba SL 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 eased fully out of work onto
the transport wheels while moving
forward. Likewise, it should eased
back into work once the turn has
been completed. Do not attempt to
turn the machine on the roll.
4.11 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?
• Have the hydraulic lines been connected
according to the colour coding?
• 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?
4. Adjustment / Operation
4.10 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.
• Fit the wheel chocks.
• 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 Spring Reset 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.
