2.4 Hitching Up

2.4.1 Hitching up a Tractor

to the X-Press / Preparing for

Transport

When hitching-up the machine,

ensure that no-one is between the

tractor and the machine.

When the X-Press is parked for

extended periods of time it should

ideally be left in the unfolded, i.e.

work, position for stability, safety and

ease of access for maintenance.

However, parking the X-Press in the

folded position (using the parking

stands provided) is acceptable in

the normal course of operation.

Tractor Oil Flow Adjustment:

As a general rule the tractor oil flow

rate should be set in the lowest

setting before starting. This can then

be increased to allow the desired

rate of operation as applicable. This

will minimise excessive oil flow and

consequent power usage and heat

generation.

1. Ensure the tractor hydraulics are

depressurised and in the locked or

closed (not float) setting.

2. Ensure the rear axle taps are locked to

avoid high pressure at the quick release

couplings.

3. Couple the hydraulic hoses to the tractor

ensuring that the two wing hoses

(yellow) are together , the two drawbar

cylinder hoses (red) are together and the

two disc frame hoses (green) - if

applicable - are together.

4. Connect the tractor to the drawbar using

the hydraulics to raise or lower the height

of the shackle.

5. Open the rear axle taps

6. Carefully operate the hydraulics to lower

the drawbar and tilt the X-Press onto the

road transport wheels. Fully extend the

drawbar cylinders.

7. Ensure that the wing strap is fitted to tie

the two wing sections together.

8. Ensure that parking stands are locked

up in their work positions.

9. If the machine is already folded it is now

ready for transport. If the machine is

unfolded then operate the fold circuit and

fit the transport strap.
