Hydraulic System
(4m Folding
models)
The hydraulic fluid from the tractor is mixed
with the hydraulic fluid from the machine.
The supplied machine hydraulic system
contains Total AZOLLA ZS 32 oil.
Lubricants
Simba strongly recommend the use of Lithium
Complex EP2 Grease in the disc hubs of your
X-Press. This grease is a Lithium Complex soap
dispersed in a mineral oil and is interpreted by
IARC as being non-carcinogenic. Grease car-
tridges are available from Simba (P12710).
Using this grease in combination with the laby-
rinth type seal it is permissible to lengthen the
greasing interval on the disc hubs to 100 hours.
If using a standard agricultural grease the disc
hubs should be lubricated every 50 hours.
All other lubricating points on the machine can
be lubricated with multigrade lubricating
grease as specified in DIN 51825 KP/2K -
40.
Measures in case of injury
through oil
Eyes:
Should any oil be splashed into your eyes,
rinse with water for 15 minutes. If the eye is
still irritated, contact a doctor immediately
If oil is swallowed
If oil is swallowed, it is important not to induce
vomiting. Contact a doctor immediately.
Skin irritation caused by oil
In case of prolonged skin contact, wash off
the oil with soap and water.
Oil Spills
Use either sand or a suitable granular
absorbent to soak up any spilt oil. Dispose of
the oil-contaminated absorbent in the proper
manner.
Oil Fires
Never use water to extinguish an oil fire. The
oil will float on the water causing the fire to
spread.
Burning oil-lubricant must be extinguished
using a carbon dioxide powder or foam
extinguisher. Always wear respiratory
equipment when dealing with fires of this type.
Waste Oil Disposal
Oil-contaminated waste and used oil must be
disposed of in accordance with current
legislation.
Waste oil must be collected and disposed of
in accordance with local regulations. Never
pour used oil into unsealed sewage systems
or drains or onto the ground.
