Congratulations on purchasing a Harvest Tec Dye Sprayer Marking System. When attached to a 700 Series Automatic Applicator or 700 Series Moisture Only kit for any large square, small square, or round baler, it will allow you to visibly mark the wet areas on your bales. The system includes the tank, pump, plumbing, mounting hardware, and necessary cables. There is a parts breakdown in the back of the manual to reference if replacement parts are needed. All replacement parts and dye will be ordered through your local equipment dealer.
Locate the tank and mounting bracket assembly. Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, decide which of these mounting locations will be the most convenient and work best for the user.

Figure 3: New Holland BB9060-9080, Case LB & New Holland BB Models
Locate the tank and mounting bracket assembly. Determine a mounting location on the baler (at foot level) that will be the most convenient and work the best for the user.
Example location of 740DM mounted on Small Square Baler
Example location of 740DM mounted on Round Baler: Alternatively, the dye marker can be mounted on the side of the hitch, but the operator should determine turning clearance with the tractor rear tire.
740DM Schematic:
To most effectively mark the wet spots in any bale, Harvest Tec recommends that the nozzles are mounted directly above or below the Star Wheels. To get the best spray pattern focused directly on the wet spot of the bale, the nozzles will need to be approximately 1" above the bale that is being marked. A small notch may need to be cut to increase surface area of the bale being marked.

4. Install the tip and nozzle holder assemblies in the suggested locations pictured below. Use the 1/4" hardware provided to do so.
a. Large Square and Small Square Balers: Make sure that the tip assemblies (A) are mounted in line with the star wheels (B) so that the system is marking the wet spots of the bale.
b. Round Balers: Mount the tip assemblies (C).
Example 1 (large square):
Example 2 (large square):
Example 3 (small square):
A – Nozzles mounted on top of bale chamber
B - Starwheels mounted beneath bale chamber (not shown)
Example 4 (round baler):
Diagram:
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
The tips are not spraying Dye | 1. The system is out of dye. 2. There is air in the lines, preventing a steady mist coming from the tips. 3. Damaged/pinched hose. 4. Tip is plugged. 5. Set point is set too high |
1. Check the tank for solution. If the tank is empty, refill and bleed air from lines. 2. Loosen check valve &/or remove the tips from the valve body and using the priming button bleed the air out of the lines. 3. Inspect all the hose making sure the lines are damaged or pinched. 4. Remove the tip from the bushing and inspect, clean is necessary. 5. Lower the set point level at which the user would like to have the bales marked at. |
A. Remove the tank lid from the 3-gallon tank. Make sure the tank is clean and completely empty. Mix the Dye (009-0800) with warm water inside the Dye bottle. Make sure that the bottle is shaken vigorously so that the dye completely dissolves. Once the solution is mixed, add it to the 3-gallon tank and fill the tank with water.
A. Once the tank has been filled, the plumbing lines will need to be primed. With the system turned on and in a paused mode, hold the priming button until all the air is flushed out of the lines and there is a steady stream of liquid coming from each of the tips.
NOTE: The system needs to be primed every time the system has run out of dye.
B. You can adjust the moisture content level at which you would like the system to mark the 'Wet Flakes' in the bale being made, as well as marking the sides of round bales. This can be done by entering 'Setup' followed by moisture setup, then adjust Set Point.
Example Setup Screen:
Large and Small Square systems: Auto & Manual mode will automatically mark bales with dye if the Moisture Dye Marking system is turned on and moisture content sensed by the star wheels is above the moisture ‘Set Point’ level that was set by the operator.
Round Baler Systems: Auto & Manual mode will automatically mark the bale for 3 seconds when being ejected with dye if the Moisture Dye Marking system is turned on and AVG BALE moisture content sensed by the dual disc pads is above the moisture ‘Set Point’ level that was set by the operator.
