Re: Newbie question re: APPM
Hi Eric,
That warning is for most applications *except* SGPro.
If you follow the way I said to define the an East limit for both pier sides, APCC will work as expected with SGPro.

AP1200 regrease and maintenance
Hi,
My AP1200 is a few years old now but still functions perfectly. I’m sure it’s overdue for a regrease etc. Could someone direct me to any help files on how to go about this. Had a quick search

That's too bad. I actually find myself grieving a bit like the loss of a friend. I wonder how bad the chip is and if it could be masked. I imagine it's languishing in some closet
