Installation of Controls and Routing the Wire Harnesses
- Locate the control in an area that allows operation for adjusting or turning the controls while operating the baler.
- Route the wire to the starter solenoid on all 12V tractors. Connect the green lead marked + to the hot terminal on the starter. Connect the black lead to a good ground. Do not reverse the leads. Be sure to use a voltmeter to verify that you do have 12 volts running to the box.
Note: For tractors with 24v starters, connect the power leads to the tractor’s right-hand battery. Do not connect the leads to the starter. Connect the lead marked + to the positive battery terminal and the lead marked- to the negative on the battery. Wiring connections to the battery normally results in corrosion; terminal coating is recommended.
- Attach the wire from the pump to the battery
- Run wire with molded black plug to back of tractor
- Run wire from pump up draw bar and connect it to the mating plug from the control box. Secure wire to baler with supplied cable ties.
Caution: Do not run a pump or use an electronic control box directly off a battery charger. For stationary use, the applicator can be connected to a new battery and the battery connected to a charge.
