to the X-Press
1. Removethetransportstrapsfromthe
disc harrow, exercise great CARE
whenextendingtheaxlecylinder.
2. Reverse the disc harrow up to the
X-Pressdrawbarensuringthatthetwo
drawbarsarealignedallowingaslight
clearancetoenablethemachinesto
becoupledtogether.
3. Lowerthedischarrowtotheground.
4. Connect the four hydraulic hoses
fromtheX-Pressintothedischarrow
rear outlets ensuring that the two
winghosesaretogetherandthetwo
drawbarcylinderhosesaretogether.
Ensurethatthefoldingcircuitsandlift
drawbarcircuitsarecoupledcorrectly.
3. YourbrakeswillnowbeONandwill
hold,ensuringtheyhavebeenadjusted
andmaintainedcorrectly,themachine
inposition.(note:ifthemachine‘stank
is drained of air once all lines have
beendetachedthebrakeswillcomeoff
(samesituationaspushingtheshunt
valve).
4. Continuede-couplingthemachineuntil
itisfullydisconnected.
Byfollowingtheaboveinstructions
you will see that at NO point
in the coupling or decoupling
process has the red line been
left in the tractor on its own.
Thisisintentionalandshouldbe
consideredthe ‘rule’to coupling
thehoses.
5. RaisetheX-Pressdrawbarabovethe
discdrawbar(200mmapprox.).
6. Raise the disc harrow to the same
height as the X-Press drawbar then
reverse the disc harrow to couple
the two machines together.  A pair
of additional taps (P00774) may be
required in the lift circuit of the disc
harrowortheX-Press.Thiswillisolate
thedrawbarcircuit.
7. Operatethehydraulicstolowertherear
axleanddrawbar,tilting theX-Press
ontotheroadtransportwheels.Fully
extendthedrawbarcylinders.
8. Operate the hydraulics to fold the
wings.
9. Operatethehydraulicstoliftthedisc

10. Fitthedischarrowtransportstraps.
11. FittheX-Presswingtransportstrapto
tiethetwowingsectionstogether.
12. Ensurethatparkingstandsarelocked
upintheirworkposition.
WhentheX-Pressisusedintandemwith
a disc harrow the disc should be set to
the operators manual i.e. front disc gang
tobe50mmclosertothegroundthanthe
correspondingdiscbladeonthereargang.
Withbothmachinesinthetransportposition
i.e.raisedandfolded,thetopframeofthe
disc harrowshould be slightly nose down
orhorizontalevenwhenthedownwardload
fromtheX-Pressisappliedtothedrawbar
ofthedischarrow.
Theframemaybelevelledbyalteringthe
rearwardtiltoftheX-Press toincreaseor
reducetheloadingonthediscreardrawbar.
