Installation of Applicator

Installation of Mounting Brackets and Tank

1. Locate parts 001-4703ZR-A, 001-4703ZR-B, two 001-4703ZR-C and four ¾” x 4 ½” bolts, lock washers and nut.

2. Line up 001-4703ZR-A and 001-4703ZR-B about 18 inches apart on the ground. Slide part
   001- 4703ZR-C into square mounts and secure with ¾” x 4 ½” bolts, locks, and nuts to holed in place. Note there are two sets of ¾” holes on the 001-4703ZR-C. Use the set that is about 18 inches apart.

3. Locate part 001-4703ZR-D1 and two ½” x 5 ½” bolts, locks, washers, and nuts. Bolt part 001-4703ZR-D1 to the top of the two 001-4703ZR-C with this hardware.

4. Locate part 001-4703ZR-D2. Bolt to the front of 001-4703ZR-D1 with ½” x 3 ½” bolts, washers, locks, and nuts. Do not fully tighten down.

5. Using a lift, bring the assembly up under the cab of the baler. Part 001-4703ZR-D2 should line up with holes in the front part of the baler. Mark the half inch holes at the ends of the 001-4703ZR-A and 001-4703ZR-B that line up with the structural parts under the cab. Lower assembly out of the way and drill these four holes with a 9/16” drill bit. (Note. Do not drill into hydraulic lines or electrical wires.

6. Once holes have been drilled. Lift assembly back up under cab and attach to baler with four ½” x 3 ½” bolts, washers on both sides, locks, and nuts. ¾” hardware is provided if you would want to use this. However, part 001-4703ZR-A and 001-4703ZR-B will need to be drilled out for the ¾” bolts. The 001-4703ZR-D2 will attach to the front mount with ½” x 2” bolts, washers on both sides, locks, and nut.

7. Attach two 001-4703ZR-E to each 001-4703ZR-C (one on each side) sticking out the front of the baler. Use ¾” x 4 ½” bolts, locks, nuts. Do not fully tighten down yet.

8. Attach 001-4703ZR-G to the 001-4703ZR-E at the height you desire to keep the tank about the windrow. Note the lower the take the closer it is to the windrow coming into the baler. The higher it will obstruct your view. Use ¾” x 4 ½” bolts, locks, and nuts to secure.

9.  Attach 001-4703ZR-G to 001-4703ZR-F with ½” x 4” Bolts, washers, locks, and nut. Do not fully tighten down. (Note: angles will be pointing toward each other.

10. Place saddle assembly on 001-4703ZR-G and secure with ½” washer, locks, and nuts.

11. Tighten all hardware down.

Mount Pump Plate Assembly

Locate parts bag 8. Using two 3/8” x 1/4” bolts, locks, washers, and nuts. Mount the U-shaped pump plate mount 001-4647 (right) onto the tank saddle in the mounting holes located between the strap brackets on back of saddle (figure 7). Connect the pump plate mounting bracket (001-4648X), shown in figure 8, using two 3/8” x 1 1/4″ bolts, nuts, locks, and flat washers to the mounting bracket. Install the pump plate as shown completed in figure 9.

Installation of Gauge and Hose Manifold

1. Drill two 3/8” holes and mount pressure gauge to sheet metal. Bend the gauge bracket to adjust the angle.
2. Secure with two 5/16” x 1” flange bolts and flange nuts.

Placement of Spray Nozzle Assembly

The cross bar on the wind guard above the pick-up head provides a mounting point for the nozzle holders (001-4714J). Mount the nozzle holders on the wind guard, using the supplied U bolts (001-4714UBS). Measuring from the center of the baler, the nozzle holders will need to be 6” (15cm) apart on a 4’ (1.2M) and 9” (23cm) apart on a 5’ (1.5M) Do not fully tighten.
Position the nozzle holders so that the tips spray in a horizontal direction over the top of the baler’s pickup. The tips should be located so that they will be between 14” and 18” (35 – 45 cm) from the normal path of hay. Make sure the nozzle holders do not interfere with the tying system. *It is recommended to test the system with water prior to field operation. This will ensure the fan pattern from the tips reaches the outside edges of the pickup while having a slight overlap in the center.

Installation of Plumbing

Tank to Pump

1. Thread elbow (003-EL3412) into the bottom of the tank.
2. Route 1/2” hose from bottom of tank through gap in sheet metal surrounding the baler gauge down to valve on pump intake.
3. Secure with hose clamps.

Pump to Gauge

1. Attach 1/2” hose to pump discharge and route up to gauge. Secure with hose clamps.

Gauge to Nozzles

1. Attach 1/2” hose to open port of gauge and route hose down to check valve of spray nozzle assembly.
2. Attach quick disconnect (003-A1412 and 004-1207H).
3.  Secure with hose clamps.

Secure loose hoses to baler with supplied Jiffy clips. Use existing hardware to attach to baler.

Installation of Controls and Routing the Wire Harnesses

1. Locate the control in an area that allows operation for adjusting or turning the controls while operating the baler.

2. Route the wire to the starter solenoid on all 12V tractors. Connect the green lead marked + to the hot terminal on the starter. Connect the black lead to a good ground. Do not reverse the leads. Be sure to use a voltmeter to verify that you do have 12 volts running to the box.
   Note: For tractors with 24v starters, connect the power leads to the tractor’s right-hand battery. Do not connect the leads to the starter. Connect the lead marked + to the positive battery terminal and the lead marked- to the negative on the battery. Wiring connections to the battery normally results in corrosion; terminal coating is recommended.

3. Attach the wire from the pump to the battery

4. Run wire with molded black plug to back of tractor

5. Run wire from pump up drawbar and connect it to the mating plug from the control box. Secure wire to baler with supplied cable ties.

Caution: Do not run a pump or use an electronic control box directly off a battery charger. For stationary use, the applicator can be connected to a new battery and the battery connected to a charge
