  • Page 4: Assembly And Setup

    ASSEMBLY AND SETUP UNLOADING AND LINING UP THE MACHINE To begin assembly, you will need to use a forklift or loader to lift the reel off of the cart frame. Begin by placing a ¾” x 4” bolt with washer through the front and rear lift points with a nut and flat washer on the backside of each bolt.
  • Page 5: Installing Auxiliary Nozzles

    INSTALLING THE AUXILIARY NOZZLES Fasten the two nozzle holder brackets (001-7149) to the pre-drilled holes located inside of the front outer rails of the reel frame using 3/8”x3” bolts, locks, and two flat washers a piece. Screw a nipple (004-M14) into the swivel (004-4733) and then place this assembly up through the bottom side of the nozzle holder bracket.
  • Page 6: Installing The Drive Chain

    INSTALLING THE DRIVE CHAIN Remove the drive chain from the parts box. Begin installing the drive chain assembly by loosening and sliding up the idler sprocket. Install the drive chain and complete the installation by moving the idler down against the chain until it is tight and tighten the idler.
  • Page 7: Mounting The Wire Harness

    MOUNTING THE WIRE HARNESS A 7-pole wire harness is included in the parts box that is designed to go between the tractor and water trailer should you decide that you want road lights on the water trailer. The metal bracket should be mounted at the rear of the cart frame.
  • Page 8: Operation

    You can use the sight gauge located on the side of the pump to check the oil level. Fill the pump crankcase with approximately 4.75 quarts of pump oil from Harvest Tec (part #009-7127OIL) or until the oil has reached the top of the sight gauge. Check the oil level daily before operation by looking at the sight glass located on the side of the pump.
  • Page 9: Priming

    Begin by connecting the suction & return lines from the water trailer to the suction & return lines of the 710 Dew Simulator with the quick couplers. The first step of operation is priming the pump. To prime the pump, locate the brass ball valve at the rear of the pump manifold. This valve is on the discharge side of the pump.

    Before disconnecting the quick coupler, close the 2” ball valve on the trailer. Disconnect the coupler and connect to the fill source. Harvest Tec recommends that you have an inline screen on your fill source. Open the ball valve and begin filling. When filling is completed, shut off the fill source and close the 2”...
  • Page 11: Application Rates

    APPLICATION RATES SOFTENING AGENT The Harvest Tec 710 Dew Simulator is designed to add moisture to windrowed hay with the aid of a chemical softening agent mixed with water. This confidentially formulated chemical, HS2002, has a silicone base and is designed to help the water added soak into the hay more completely and quicker.
  • Page 12: Application Rate Tables

    APPLICATION RATE TABLES * Determine what ground speed you want to go. It works well to choose a ground speed that is comparable to the ground speed at which you’ll be baling at. * After determining the Acres/Hr to be covered, find how many Tons/ Hr you will be doing. * Cross reference the Ton/Hr you with the estimated pretreated moisture content to get the number of (Gal/Hr) you will need to apply.
  • Page 13: Application Rate Example

    Valve Trip Position Rear Trip Front Trip -Position 1-5 -Position A-E APPLICATION RATE EXAMPLE If you have a 30-foot swath raked together and estimate that the hay is 8% moisture, what setting would you use if you estimated the crop would go 1-1/2 ton/acre at 15% moisture and you wanted to travel at 6 mph? Given this information, begin by looking in Table 1 to determine how many acres/hour you would be covering.
  • Page 14: Trouble Shooting

    TROUBLE SHOOTING PUMP WILL NOT PRIME Check that the bypass valve is open, the strainer is clean, and the valve on trailer is open The pump should now circulate water back to the tank when the bypass valve is open. A dirty strainer will result in reduced flow that leads to a lack of pressure.
