Manual AP silage cutter NP
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 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 hardened metal, they can become blunt due to
intensive use. Let your AP dealer sharpen the knives on time.
6.6
Readjustment of the height of the tines:
It is important that all tines are adjusted at the same height. This height of the
tines can somewhat be readjusted to turn the conical adjustment bushes at the
back side of the head tube.

OPTIONS:
This chapter describes the safety and operating instructions of the several extra
available equipment for the AP silage cutter, provided that they have not been
described in previous chapters.
7.1
Push-off system with folding base (HAN):
A push-off system with folding base (HAN), significantly increases the number of
use of the silage cutter. In folded state you have a nearly closed bucket which
makes it possible to use your silage cutter for scooping up wet by-products and / or
other products with little or no structure.
WARNING:
When the base is folded the push-off system does not work.
Do not activate it!
