WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER TO THE BOX BEFORE WORKING AROUND THE SPRAY TIPS!
The HARVEST TEC AUTOMATIC applicator is designed to automatically apply propionic acid, acid blends, and
buffered acid. It is designed to apply 60 pounds of product per hour on the low end and up to 550 pounds per hour on the
upper end. This applicator is calibrated to apply Harvest Tec buffered propionic acid. Adjustments to applicator rate
settings and flow meter values may be necessary if you are using a competitor’s product. Please note, not all products
are compatitable with all components in this applicator. The operating moisture range of the applicator is 10% to 32%.
The three pumps included in the applicator are needed to apply preservative at the specified application set-points. The
applicator can also be run in manual mode, which turns a pump or pumps on at a fixed rate. This applicator includes a
flow-meter to measure the rate during product application as well as the accumulated amount of product used. The
applicator also has sensors to monitor the baling rate. The applicator will automatically adjust the preservative rate based
on the updated tons/hr reading from the bale rate sensors.

STEP 1: MOUNTING THE TANK ON THE BALER
New Holland and Case IH LBX series balers
Identify the right and left legs. The left leg has five additional holes drilled in it while the right leg has no additional holes. Locate
the small cut out “V” where the tank sump fits in the saddle. This “V” should be to the back of the baler. Using the 3/8” by 1¼” bolts
(qty 8), washers, and lock washers bolt the legs to the tank saddle with the pump plate being bolted on the front side as shown below.
The valve on the pump plate will be located on the left side of the baler. The inner holes on the saddle should be used for mounting
the saddle to the tank legs on 590, BB940, BB940A, LBX 331, and LBX 332 balers while the outer two holes used for the 595,
BB960, BB960A, LBX 341, and LBX 342 balers. If bolt holes are difficult to line up loosening the tank straps may help. Make sure
to retighten if this is done. Then lift the saddle and legs onto the baler and mount the tank legs and saddle on the baler as shown
below. The tank legs bolt to the baler with ½” by 1¾” carriage bolts (qty 6). Depending on the baler model, ½” holes (3 per side)
may need to be drilled in the baler to bolt down the tank legs. The bolts should be inserted from inside the baler.
The saddle is intentionally tipped forward by 5oso that the tank will sit vertical to the ground. There is a small cut out “V” where the
tank sump fits in the saddle and this cut out should face the back of the baler for the tank to be level when installed on the baler.
Note: See Step 3 for drain line installation.

Vermeer SQ2731 and SQ3347 balers
Identify the right and left legs. The left leg has five additional holes drilled in it while the right leg has no additional holes. Locate
the small cut out “V” where the tank sump fits in the saddle. This “V” should be to the back of the baler. Using the 3/8” by 1¼” bolts
(qty 8), washers, and lock washers bolt the legs to the tank saddle with the pump plate being bolted on the front side as shown below.
The valve on the pump plate will be located on the left side of the baler. The inner holes on the saddle should be used for mounting
the saddle to the tank legs on the Vermeer SQ2731 while the outer two holes used for the Vermeer SQ3347 balers. If bolt holes are
difficult to line up loosening the tank straps may help. Make sure to retighten if this is done. Then lift the saddle and legs onto the
baler and mount the tank legs and saddle on the baler as shown below. The tank legs bolt to the baler with ½” by 1¾” carriage bolts
(qty 6). You will need to drill 9/16” holes (3 per side) in to the baler to bolt down the tank legs. The bolts should be inserted from
inside the baler.
The saddle is intentionally tipped forward by 5oso that the tank will sit level to the ground. There is a small cut out “V” where the
tank sump fits in the saddle and this cut out should face the back of the baler for the tank to be level when installed on the baler.
Note: See Step 3 for drain line installation.
