Introduction

The Harvest Tec Model 461 applicator is designed to apply straight propionic acid and acid blends, Buffered acids The applicator can be installed on most balers with the proper installation kit. Before installing the unit on a baler, make sure you have the proper installation kit for your baler.
The installation kit is not provided with the 461 kits.

Tools Needed

• Standard wrench set
• Standard socket set
• Standard screwdriver or 5/16” nut driver
• Side cutter
• Hose cutter
• Crescent wrench
• Hammer

Mounting Frame on Tractor or Baler
Tractor installation
Use the mounting holes on the front side of the tractor’s frame or weight bracket. Use 4 of the 3/4” bolts supplied.

Baler Installation

Mounting the Applicator on the Hesston 4750, 4755, and 4900, 4910, or the Case IH 8570, 8575, 8580, and 8590 Without Bale Ejectors

1. Place the bracket on the right side of the baler when looking at it from the back.
2. Slide the bracket up to the beam that supports the hydraulic cylinder for the bale compression doors.
3. Slide the top of the bracket down 3” from the welded seam of the large flat plate for the baler.
4. Mark oblong holes of the bracket onto the plate of baler with a marker.
5. Drill one 13/16” hole in each one of the oblong holes you marked, 4 total. (Note that the two slots closest to the rear of the baler have the support beam from the axle running behind them. Drill your holes so that they miss this beam.)
6. Using 3/4” bolts and hardware, secure the bracket to the baler.

Mounting the Applicator on the Hesston 4755 and Case IH 8575 Balers with Bale Ejectors

1. Release the bale ejector arm and swing toward the front of the baler before starting previous instructions.
2. Do previous steps for installation.
3. As you will note, the adjustment arm for the ejector on the right side will be restricted. To eliminate this problem follow these procedures:
   a. Remove the rubber handle by slightly heating it up. Using sliding lock pliers, place around the pipe before the rubber handle. Using a hammer, pound on the pliers to slide the rubber handle off.
   b. Cut between 1”-2” off end of the pipe so lever will clear drum and holder.
   c. Reapply the handle and make sure the lever has free travel

Operation of the 457 Control Box

Understanding and using the 457 Control Box
The model 457 control box is pictured below. The toggle switch (A) is used to supply and cut off power to the pump. With the switch down (shown), the power is off. Lift the switch up to supply power. The dial (B) is used to adjust the pressure to the tips when power is applied. Use the numbers on the dial only as a reference.
The PSI on the gauge determines the exact flow. Apply the correct rate decal found with your manual to the front of the control box. The message light (C) will always be illuminated when the power is on. If the light ever blinks during operation please reference the manual section “Message light”.

Message Light
The LED under the speed dial will be steady when the applicator is running in normal situations.
If the light blinks on and off, use the information noted below to decipher the message.
Slow steady on and off blink: The system is attached to hay indicators (474A) or a foot switch. This message means that the pump is paused. The light will come on constant once the baler is back in the windrow.
Two quick blinks: The pump motor or pump harness is shorted.
Three quick blinks: The pump motor is over the current limit (10 amps).
Four quick blinks: Power is under current from a bad connection.
The control box must have the on/off switch toggled to clear the message after the fault has been fixed to clear.

First Time and Annual Start-Up
After familiarizing yourself with the model 457 control box, fill the tank with 5 gallons of water. Turn on the power to the pump by pushing the toggle switch up. You might hear the buzzing of the motor. Turn the dial on the control box until the pressure gauge starts to climb. By turning the dial clockwise the pressure will go up.
By turning the dial counterclockwise the pressure will decrease. With the applicator spraying at about 30 PSI, look for leaks at all the hose connections and fittings. When you are comfortable with the operation of the controls you can set the applicator to apply the amount of chemical you would like it to put on.

Field Operation

Calibration
There are three things that you need to know when calibrating your applicator. First, you need to know how many tons per hour you bale. Second, you need to know the rate, or how many pounds of product to apply for given tons per hour. Finally, you need to know what tips to use and at what pressure to set the gauge.

Determining tons per hour for small square balers (two tie)

1. Bale for three minutes.
2. Count the number of bales made in those three minutes.
3. Weigh several bales to determine the average weight.
4. Use the bale rate chart on the following page to determine the tons you are baling per hour.

Example: You baled 11 bales in three minutes. After weighing some of the bales you found the average bale weight to be 55 lbs. Using the following chart cross reference 11  bales and 55lbs and you will find the rate to be 6.0 tons per hour.

Determining tons per hour for small square balers (three ties)

1. Bale for three minutes.
2. Count the number of bales made in those three minutes.
3. Weigh several bales to determine the average weight.
4. Use the bale rate chart on the following page to determine the tons you are baling per hour.

Example: You baled 11 bales in three minutes. After weighing some of the bales you found the average bale weight to be 90 lbs. Using the following chart cross reference 11  bales and 90lbs and you will find the rate to be 9.9 tons/hr.

Determining tons per hour for round balers

1. Time 3 bales and average the time it takes to make a bale.
2. Estimate the weight of the bale.
3. Use the bale rate chart below to determine the tons you are baling per hour.

Example: You made 3 round bales and it took you an average of 2 minutes a piece to bale each of them.
Your baler’s operator manual tells you that an average bale made by your machine weighs 1000lb.
(Remember if the hay is dry it will weigh less and if the hay is wet it will weigh more.) Using the chart below, cross-reference 2 minutes with 1000lb. and you will come up with 15 tons per hour.

Determining the rate of chemical
The number of pounds of chemical required to be applied to a given ton of hay, depends on the moisture and the type of chemical used. The moisture of the hay is important in determining how many chemicals to use.
The wetter the hay the more product is needed, the dryer the hay the less product is needed. By knowing the moisture, you can make sure you are treating the hay correctly. Underapplying will save money but spoilage most likely to occur. Over-applying will waste money however, the hay will be saved. Some chemicals require more or less to treat the same amount of hay. To find the exact number of pounds required, for given hay moisture, refer to the label on the drum or contact the manufacturer. Harvest Tec applicators come with low, medium, and high sets of tips. If your chemical requires rates other than what these tips deliver you will need to purchase them through your dealer.

Selecting tips and setting pressure for two and three tie small square balers
Once you have determined your tons per hour and the amount of chemical needed for the moisture you are applying at, you can select your tips and determine your gauge settings.

1. Multiply the tons per hour by the amount of chemical required for the moisture you are applying at.
   This sum will give you the application rate.

2. Select the proper set of tips from the application rate chart and install them. (Pg.19-20)

3. For the tips you have selected, you will need to keep the gauge at the recommended PSI to achieve the proper application rate.

4. Set the pressure by adjusting the dial on the control box and by reading the pressure of the gauge to match the desired rates. The numbers on the dial are for reference only. Rate is determined by watching the pressure gauge.

Example: You are baling at 12.5 tons per hour with your conventional square baler. The moisture t you are baling at requires you to apply 8 pounds per ton. Multiply the 12.5  tons x 8lbs. = 100lbs. per hour. Using the chart, lbs/hr with two nozzles, found on page 22 and 23 of this manual, you will notice the medium or pink set of tips at 35 PSI will  give you that output.
Calibration reminders

• Watch the pressure gauge, as the setting will vary with the tractor’s electrical output, temperature, and other factors.
• Check your application rate by measuring the product used against actual tons baled.

REMEMBER, ONLY YOU CAN CONTROL HOW MUCH PRODUCT IS APPLIED AND THAT WILL DETERMINE IF YOUR HAY WILL KEEP!!!

Selecting tips and set the pressure for round balers
Once you have determined your tons per hour and the amount of chemical needed for the moisture you are applying at, you can select your tips and determine your gauge settings.

1. Multiply the tons per hour by the amount of chemical required for the moisture you are applying at.
   This sum will give you the application rate.

2. Select the proper set of tips from the application rate chart and install them. (Pg.21)

3. For the tips you have selected, you will need to keep the gauge at the recommended PSI to achieve the proper application rate.

4. Set the pressure by adjusting the dial on the control box and by reading the pressure of the gauge to match the desired rates. The numbers on the dial are for reference only.  Rate is determined by watching the pressure gauge.

Example: You are baling at 22 tons per hour with your round baler. The moisture you are baling at requires you to apply 8 pounds per ton. Multiply the 22 tons x 8lbs. =  176lbs. per hour. Using the chart, lbs/hr with three nozzles, found on page 24 of this manual, you will notice the green set of tips at 35 PSI will give you that output.

Filter bowl cleaning
Before cleaning the filter bowl all personal protective equipment must be worn (Face shield or goggles, chemically resistant apron, boots, and gloves).
Verify that the ball valve located next to the pump is turned off. Locate the filter bowl on the side of the pump manifold (A). Unscrew the bottom section of the filter bowl and remove the strainer. (B) Clean off any debris and soak in warm water with mild soap if necessary. Once the screen is clean reinstall by following the directions in reverse.

Tips & tip screen cleaning:
Before cleaning the tips and screens all personal protective equipment must be worn (Face shield or goggles, chemically resistant apron, boots, and gloves).
Verify that the ball valve located next to the pump is turned off. Disconnect spray shield from hangers if possible or remove tips in place. Remove the tip, and screen. Some models may require a wrench to remove.
Clean off any debris and soak the tip and screen in warm water with mild soap if necessary. Once the tips and screens are cleaned reinstall by following the directions in reverse.

Dielectric grease connections

Disconnect all harnesses on the applicator, clean the connections, and repack with dielectric grease.
Rebuild pump
If the pump is not working up to specifications a pump rebuild kit may fix the problems.
Verify that the ball valve is turned off. Before working around the pump all personal protective equipment must be worn (Face shield or goggles, chemically resistant apron,  boots, and gloves). Disconnect all pump fittings and remove the pump from the saddle. Follow rebuild instructions supplied with the pump rebuild kit. Reinstall after the rebuild is complete.
Battery connections
Follow the battery safety warnings and clean the battery connections. If the connections cannot be cleaned, replace the harness.

Miscellaneous maintenance:

1. Depending on the product being used, the system may need to be flushed with water at a regular interval (consult with manufacturer of the chemical.) If Harvest Tec product is being used, flushing is not necessary.
2. Although the pump can run dry, extended operation of a dry pump will increase wear. Watch the preservative level in the tank.
3. If you are using bacterial inoculants, flush your system daily after every use.

Winter Storage

1. Thoroughly flush the system with water.
2. Remove the filter bowl and run dry until the water has cleared out of the intake side.
3. Remove the red plug from the bottom of the pump, drain, and run the pump for 30 seconds or until it is dry.
4. Drain all lines on the outlet side.
5. Never use oils or alcohol-based anti-freeze in the system.
6. For spring start-up, if the pump is frozen, turn off the power immediately to avoid burning the motor out or blowing a fuse. The pump head can be disassembled and freed or rebuilt in most cases. Check the fuses after the pump has been freed.
7. Disconnect power from the Precision Information Processor.
8. Remove display from tractor and store in a warm, dry place.
