Operating Instructions
1. Safety Data
1.3 Operational Safety
The machine is to be put in operation
only after instruction has been provided
by an employee of the authorised dealer
or an employee of SIMBA. The “Machine
Registration” form is to be completed and
returned to your dealer.
All protective and safety equipment, such
as removable protective equipment, must
be in place and functioning reliably before
the machine is put in use.
Check screws and bolts regularly
for tightness and retighten if
necessary.
In the event of malfunctions,
stop and secure the machine
immediately.
Ensure that any faults are remedied
immediately.
1.4 No Liability for
Consequential Damage
The X-Press has been manufactured by
SIMBA with great care. However, problems
may still occur when it is used for the
intended purpose. These may include:
• Worn wearing parts.
• Damage caused by external factors.
• Incorrect driving speeds.
• Incorrect setting of the unit (incorrect
attachment, non-adherence to the Setting
instructions).
Therefore, it is crucial to always
check your machine before and
during operation for correct
operation and adequate application
accuracy.
Compensation claims for damage which has
not occurred to the machine is excluded.
This includes any consequential damage
resulting from incorrect operation.
1.2 Use for the Intended
Purpose
The SIMBA X-Press is built using the
latest technology and in accordance with
the relevant recognised safety regulations.
However, risks of injury for the operator or
third parties and impairment of the machine
or other tangible assets can arise during use.
The machine is only to be operated when
in a technically perfect condition and for the
intended purpose, taking into consideration
safety and risks and following the Operating
Instructions. In particular, faults that can
impair safety are to be remedied immediately.
Original parts and accessories from SIMBA
have been specially designed for this
machine. Spare parts and accessories not
supplied by us have not been tested or
authorised. Installation or use of non-original
SIMBA products may have a detrimental
effect on specific design features of the
machine and affect the safety of machine
operators and the machine itself. SIMBA will
accept no liability for damage resulting from
the use of non-original parts or accessories .
The SIMBA X-Press is designed solely as
a cultivation implement. Use for any other
purpose, e.g., as a means of transport, will
be deemed to be improper use. SIMBA will
accept no liability for damage resulting from
improper use. The risk will be borne solely
by the operator.
Use of the X-Press behind high power
tractors (in excess of 40% above the
maximum recommended) can lead to high
loads and stresses which can cause long
term structural damage to the chassis and
key components. Such overloading can
compromise safety and is to be avoided.
