OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The 442P/442U/442UP applicator is very simple to operate. After installing the applicator, fill the tank with 5 gallons of water. With control box connected to the applicator and the power cord hooked to the 12-volt battery we can start the test. First flip on the toggle switch. You might hear the buzzing of the motor.
CALIBRATION There are three things that you need to know when calibrating your applicator. First you need to know how many tons per hour you bale. Second you need to know the rate, or how many pounds of product to apply for a given ton per hour. Finally you need to know what tips to use and at what pressure to set the gauge.
To find the exact number of pounds required, for a given hay moisture, refer to the label on the drum or contact the manufacture. Harvest Tec applicators come with low, medium, and high sets of tips. If your chemical requires rates other than what these tips deliver you will need to purchase them through your dealer.
