Manual AP silage cutter NP
4.
INSTALLATION:
4.1
Transport regulations:
If the AP silage cutter is being transported separately from a tractor / mini loader,
the cutting frame always must be closed. This is to avoid injuries to limbs by the
tines and / or knives of the AP silage cutter and to avoid damaging to the hydraulic
cylinders. Make sure that the parts of the hydraulic system (among which the hoses)
cannot be damaged.
If you want to transport the AP silage cutter on a lorry (or anything similar) you
have two possibilities:
1:
You put the AP silage cutter on a pallet, tie it down and places it with the
help of a forklift truck on the lorry.
2:
You hoist the AP silage cutter with the help of a pulley on the lorry.
WARNING:
Use solid hoisting material and fix the hoisting cables / chain(s)
always in such a way, that the AP silage cutter remains a good
stability during the hoisting.
During transport on the road the customer must pay particular attention to the
lighting of the AP silage cutter (see safety regulations).
4.2
Assembly regulations:
The AP silage cutter is fully operational delivered by
A
P Machinebouw B.V.,
excluding possible attachments for your tractor front loader, wheel loader or
telescopic loader. This attachment system will be attached to the silage cutter by
AP or your dealer, based on the specifications you gave of the tractor front loader,
wheel loader or telescopic loader. There are no further specific assembly
regulations.
AP Machinebouw B.V. does not take any responsibility for replacing of spare parts
by the user, in that case the warranty expires. Replacing of spare parts must be
done by the AP dealer.
4.3
Hydraulic connections:
4.3.1 Silage cutter in combination with tractor front loader, wheel loader or telescopic
loader:
To control the AP silage cutter without hydraulic push-off system your tractor front
loader, wheel loader or telescopic loader only requires one double functioning
control valve. If your silage cutter is equipped with a hydraulic push-off system your
tractor, wheel loader or telescopic loader requires a twofold double functioning
control valve.
The specific operation of the control valve(s) of your tractor front loader, wheel
loader or telescopic loader with regard to the control of the silage cutter is non-
universal and therefore cannot be specified in this manual.
