Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Harvest Tec Model 696 Hay Preservative Applicator. This 696 applicator system
has been designed to be operated through an Apple iPad (not included) using the Hay App. As well as the
option to plug directly into most tractors that have an ISOBUS Monitor. The 696 Applicator System offers these
advantages by operating through an Apple iPad:
1. Large bright, clear, colorful display
2. More durable and can be read in bright sunlight
3. Can be used for multiple other uses than just the applicator display
4. Option to tie-into the tractor ISOBUS system
The 696 Hay Preservative Applicator System is designed to apply buffered propionic acid to the forage crop as
it is baled and will adjust the rate of application based on moisture and tonnage of the crop being harvested.
The model 696 base kit includes: tank, frame, pumps, hose, and the Dual Channel Processor (DCP). This
manual will take you through the steps for installing the applicator. If you are unsure about installing the system
after consulting this manual, contact your local authorized dealership for additional assistance. If you are in
need of parts for the system please see the parts breakdown in the back of this manual and contact your local
authorized dealer to order the parts. This applicator is designed to apply Harvest Tec buffered propionic acid.
Right and Left sides are determined by facing in the direction of forward travel.
*Made for iPad®(3rd through Pro 2nd generation), running the current iOS operating system
or one version previous required for iPad option
*iPad is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
**600 Series Applicators with serial number before DCP27000 will require the DCP to be sent to Harvest
Tec for a required update in order to use the iPad Integration Module (030-6672C).
*Hay App version must be at least 2.5.18 (or higher) to operate with the iPad Integration Module
If choosing to operate the unit though the ISOBUS monitor, pn 006-6670A will need to be ordered through your
local equipment dealer. 2018 Krone balers (and beyond) Serial Number 976909 will need pn 006-6650VAK.
Attention:
For kits on 2010 Krone HDP balers and newer Krone part number 20 073 194 0 must be ordered to mount the
star wheels.
Please see attached supplemental manual for further instructions.

Preparing the Applicator for Operation
After the Applicator has been installed on the baler, please follow the steps below to prepare for operating the
applicator both safely and correctly.
Filling the tank:
Read the label of the product you choose to fill the tank to determine individual protective measures you the
operator should take. Locate the drain/fill line on the right side of the baler. Open the cam-couplers (A) and
remove the protective plug (B). Insert the male coupler (found on transfer pump) into the female cam and
close the cams (A). To open the ball valve (C) turn the handle so it is vertical. After the ball valve has been
turned on switch the pump to the On position. Monitor the level on the tank visually and shut off the pump
before over filling. Once the pump is turned off, close the ball valve and remove the male coupler. The handle
of the ball valve (C) will be horizontal when closed. Reinstall the protective plug and close the cams. The
Harvest Tec model 9212 and 9215 transfer pumps are recommended for this process.
Water is recommended for first time and annual start up procedures.
Connecting Power and Communication Harness
The harnesses are located at the front of the baler near
the hitch and at the back of the tractor near the drawbar.
See arrow below. Make sure all connection wires are free
between the hitch of the baler and the back of the tractor,
especially when tractor is turning away.
WARNING: Stop tractor engine and shift to park or
neutral, set brakes and remove key before leaving the
tractor.

Operation of the Main Ball Valve
The ball valve shall be closed at all times when the applicator is not being used. The valve shall also be closed
when any service work is being done to the baler or applicator.
The ball valve is located on the left side of the baler, connected to the pumping manifold. See arrow below.
Krone ISOBUS Integration (optional)
*Refer to the Installation Manual for details on connecting the system to the ISOBUS.
Harvest Tec applicators will now be able to display on a split-screen ISO terminal, the CCI1200, offered with
Krone balers. The moisture can also be shown on the baler’s operating screen but the split-screen setup is the
recommended option from Harvest Tec for the monitoring of all critical system functions such as moisture,
application and bale information.
All 2018 (and beyond) Krone balers (starting with SN 976909) will be
capable of running through the ISOBUS. If unsure, balers with a
software version structured similar to the screen shot below will be
capable (right):
After the integration harness is hooked up, you should see a status
bar as the ISO display loads the Harvest Tec display information.
After loading, the Harvest Tec system Main Menu will be visible on
the terminal. (as pictured below)
For information on how to configure the CCi1200, please reference the manufacturer’s operation manual.
