Cleaning of the AP silage cutter :
Animal feed (and natural manure) often obtain aggressive substances which
can damage the AP silage block cutter. AP therefore recommends to
thoroughly clean the entire AP silage block cutter after use, extending the
service life. When using a high-pressure cleaner take care that it does not
spray on parts of the hydraulic system.
WARNING: Do not use cleansers that may harm the health of persons
and / or animals.
If you will not use the AP silage cutter for a longer period then lubricate the
parts that turned blank with a protective oil. Store the AP silage block cutter
with a closed cutting frame and make sure the chrome parts of the hydraulic
cylinders are oiled properly.

How to keep the knives sharp:
Although the knives are made of tempered steel, they can become blunt due
to intensive use. In that case it is more difficult to cut the feed. Have your AP
dealer sharpen the knives in time.
6.6
Wear of the knife protectors:
The knife protectors protect the front and side knives against wear and
damages when the cutting frame is being completely closed on the ground.
Replace the knife protectors in time.
6.7
Readjustment pivot points cutting blade:
The pivot points of the AP silage cutter can be readjusted. The AP silage
cutter is most effective when the mutual distance of the pivot points between
the rear frame and the cutting frame is minimized.
