Driving speed
The Simba TL 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 diffi-
cult or a firmer finish is required.
Turning:
Before turning, the machine should
be lifted out of work while driving.
Likewise, it should lowered back
into work once the turn has been
completed.
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!).
1 Park the machine on level and solid
ground.
2 Move the roller into its lowest setting
(ie float setting) by removing the shims
from the front side of the depth control
rod. This is to ensure the machine
doesn‘t tip backwards when unhitched.
3 Lower the machine onto the tines
ensuring that it is stable.
4 Remove the toplink and lower the link
arms so that pins can be removed.
5 Switch off the tractor.
4.11 Using Shims
Before using shims to alter machine settings
ensure the machine is stationary and the
tractor is turned off with the keys out. Ensure
that all operators are clear of the machine
and that no load is being held on any existing
shims in the depth control rod.
To fit the shims hold them by the handle and,
using a firm action, clip them onto the rod
as shown in Fig. 4.09. They are removed by
using a finger to pull firmly on the handle.
Check the depth control rod for
damage and debris before fitting
shims.
Only attempt to add or remove
shims using the handle. Trying to
manipulate shims using the jaws
could result in injury.
When changing machine settings
ensure both sides of the machine
mirror each other. The left hand
adjuster should contain the same
amount of shims as the right, for
example. Failure to do this could
result in damage to the machine.
