31 X-Press
Operating Instructions
4.8 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:
Before turning, the machine should
be eased out of work while driving.
Likewise, it should eased back into
work once the turn has been
completed.
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 (children!) is in
the manoeuvring area.
• Park the machine on level and solid ground.
• With the machine raised move the parking
stands into position.
• Lower the machine onto the parking stands
ensuring that it is stable.
• Remove the drawbar pin and drive forward
slowly until hitch is clear of tractor drawbar.
• Lower the drawbar to the ground.
• Switch off the tractor.
• Disconnect hydraulic lines from the tractor.
4.9 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?
