Introduction

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.

Tools Needed:

Installation of Dye Sprayer Tank & Plumbing

Installation of Mounting Bracket & Tank – Large Squares

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.

  1. Once tank location is decided, mark the mounting holes and drill using a 3/8” bit.
  2. Fasten the mounting bracket to the baler using the 5/16" hardware provided in the kit.

Figure 3: New Holland BB9060-9080, Case LB & New Holland BB Models

Installation of Mounting Bracket & Tank – Small Squares and Round Balers

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.

  1. Once tank location is decided, mark the mounting holes and drill using a 3/8" bit.
  2. Fasten the mounting bracket to the baler using the 5/16" hardware provided in the kit.

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.

System Wiring

  1. Locate the wiring harness (006-765IDM) supplied in the 740 Dye Sprayer Marking Kit. Attach the 12-pin plug into the module mounted on the metal frame of the dye marker.
  2. Plug the uncapped triangle plug into the plug on the metal frame.
  3. Run the Dye Marking harness down to the main applicator harness (006-762/3/5B) and attach it to one of the CAN/IDM plugs. Note: Ensure the 700R resistor is installed if not integrating into a Large Square Baler ISOBUS.

Installation of Plumbing

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.

  1. Once you have the tank and mounting bracket securely fastened to the baler, locate parts A, B, C, D & E pictured below in Figure 1 or 2. Assemble in the following order: (A) Elbow, (B) Nozzle holder, (C) Check valve, (D) Reducing bushing, (E) Tip as pictured below.
  2. Note: All parts should be thread taped.
  3. Once the nozzle holders are fastened to the balers, route the 3/8” hose to the tips. Make sure to fasten the hose securely but avoid pinching the lines. (Plumbing Diagram pictured in Figure 7)
  4. Note: Keep from routing the hose in the way of moving parts on the baler.
  5. Attach drain hose top hose barb fitting at the bottom of the tank. Run hose to a secure point and attach valve assembly.

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 3 (small square):

A – Nozzles mounted on top of bale chamber

B - Starwheels mounted beneath bale chamber (not shown)

Common Questions

  1. Is the marking dye safe for livestock consumption?
    The DSM uses red-colored, food-grade dye and is safe for all livestock.
  2. How do I bleed the air out of the lines properly?
    Remove the tips from the check valves that they're threaded into and press the prime button on the dye marker until the air is pushed out of the lines.

Troubleshooting

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.

Maintenance

  1. For winter storage, drain all of the liquid out of the lines, tank, and pump.

Filling Tank & First Time and Annual Startup

1. Filling the Tank

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.

2. First Time and Annual Startup

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:

Operating Instructions Automatic Mode or Manual Mode

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.
