19 X-Press Trailing Kit
Operating Instructions
3.4 Work Instructions
Driving speed
The X-Press 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:
The X-Press should be lifted fully
clear of the ground onto the transport
wheels for all headland turns (using
the rear cylinder). Turning with the
disc units or roller on the ground
could lead to damage of these
components.
The transport wheels should be fully raised in
work.
3.5 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.
• Disengage from the linkage and drive
forward slowly until the tractor is clear.
• Switch off the tractor.
• Disconnect hydraulic and electric lines from
3. Adjustment / Operation
3.6 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?
