Coupling:
Because coupling systems for front loaders and mini loaders are not uniform it
is not possible to completely
describe the action “coupling” in this manual.
For safety and general instructions with regard to the coupling of the AP silage
block cutter we refer to the manual of your tractor, front loader or mini loader.
We do mention some general important safety and operating instructions :
WARNING:
Always couple the AP silage block cutter to the front
loader before you connect the hydraulic hoses.
WARNING:
Never stand between the tractor / mini loader and the
AP block silage cutter without having switched off the
engine and having engaged the parking brake.
WARNING:
Make sure that the hydraulic system of the AP silage
block cutter cannot be damaged in any position of the
front loader / lifting arms of the mini loader.
