3.2 Work Instructions
Turning:
The ST-Bar (and Mounted X-Press)
should be lifted out of work while
turning.
3.3 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 component.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary servicing
required.
Working Elements
• Are the Terra-Grip Tines in good working
order?
Adjustment / Operation
3.4 Parking
When attached to the Mounted X-Press the
machine should be parked resting on the
parking stands and the Terra-Grip tines. With
the machine raised the rear parking stands
on the X-Press should be moved into the
parking position. The machine can now be
lowered onto the tines and stands (see Fig.
3.02 below).
When detached, the ST-Bar should be parked
resting on its parking stands and the Terra-
Grip tines for stability and the X-Press can
be parked using its front and rear parking
stands (see Fig. 3.03).
3.5 Adjustment
There are several ways to adjust the ST-Bar
in order to get the best results. See Fig. 3.04
below.
The main depth of the combined machines
(Toolbar & X-Press) is governed by the rear
roll of the X-Press. The tine depth is controlled
by adjusting the tine leg (C). However a
greater degree of tine settings can be
attained by utilising the linkage between the
Toolbar and the X-Press (A & B). For
instance, if the lower link (B) is placed in the
upper hole on the X-Press linkage it will create
a shallower working range for the tines.
Alternatively, placed in the lower hole on the
X-Press linkage, a deeper working range is
achieved. The toplink adjuster (A) can be
used to alter the pitch between the Toolbar
and X-Press if desired.
