Common Questions

1. How do I turn the system on/off?
   To turn the system ON open the Hay App, then select the active system for the baler you are using. Press the Wake Up tab if the system was put into Standby mode when last used. If not in Standby mode, select Automatic or Manual mode to begin.
   To turn the system OFF click the Standby tab on the Main Menu screen. To close the app double click the home button on the iPad and swipe the app that you would like closed, toward the top of the screen until it is no longer visible. See SHUTTING DOWN THE HAY APP for more details.
2. How to get in the LBS/TON, MC%, and TONS/HR screens?
   In the Main Menu press the SETUP MODE key. From this screen you can change your application rates and how much product is applied. See SETTING UP FOR INITIAL USE for a detailed explanation of this process.
3. The moisture content displays “LO” or “HI” all the time.
   When the moisture content display does not change frequently while baling, there is likely a faulty star wheel connection. Initially check inside the white star wheel block, to see if the electronic swivel is in the star wheel shaft and that the star wheel shaft is not coming out of the block. Also, check all star wheel wires and connectors to see if there is a continuity of grounding problem.
4. Should the battery connections be removed before jump starting or charging a battery?
   Yes. Anytime the tractor will have voltage going up rapidly the connections should be removed.
5. What is the expected battery life of the iPad when baling?
   3.5 hours is the expected amount of time the battery when continuously baling. Shut off all other applications, wireless internet, and Wi-Fi signal to reduce the amount of programs iPad is running.
   *It is recommended to use an accessory outlet charger when operating (not included with iPad).
6. What is the max distance for connection between the iPad and the Bluetooth Receiver?
   The range for the connection will depend on the amount of equipment (tractor, baler, ect.) between the two devices. The max distance will range between 10’ – 20’.
7. What do the lights on the 030-6672B indicate?
   Pre-2020 applicators were equipped Bluetooth receivers (030-6672B) and are now equipped with lights to indicate both power and Hay App connection on the Apple iPad.Red Light – The Bluetooth receiver has power. Green Light – The Bluetooth receiver is connected to the Hay App.
