Magnum
Applicator
-1-
DESCRIPTION
The Magnum applicator is very versatile and suitable for use with balers or forage harvesters using 1, 2 or 3 nozzles. It
comes supplied to fit 2 nozzles which is sufficient for balers with a 1.5 metre wide pick-up reel. Two nozzles are also
enough for balers with a 2 metre wide pick-up provided they are directed into the area just before the bale chamber
where the width is only 1.5 metres. Three nozzles may be required for square balers due to their faster work rate. An
accessory kit is available to provide the extra nozzle. With forage harvesters it can be used with either 1 or 2 nozzles
depending on their position.
SUPPLIED
1. 400 litre tank with 19 litres/min pump mounted in cradle
2. 9 metres reinforced PVC tubing
3. Fully variable control box
4. Pressure gauge
5. 2 nozzle set of nozzles
6. 2 brackets with clamps
7. Fitting guidelines/calibration chart/parts diagram
FITTING
The applicator operates from the tractor electrical system, which must have a 12v DC supply. It is important to ensure
that maximum output is being produced by the tractor, otherwise applicator output will be reduced and damage to the
applicator may result.
1. The tank cradle is usually fitted either on the front of the tractor or on the baler itself.
2. The pressure gauge can be fitted in any convenient place between the pump and nozzles as long as it is clearly
visible from the tractor cab. If it is mounted on the baler, uncoupling the baler and tractor is straightforward and no
further joins in the tubing will be required.
3. Fit the control box in an easily accessible place in the tractor cab. Connect the thick black flex to the pump
(red/brown; black/blue) via the spade connectors and the red and black wires to the power supply.
4. Connect the control box to the battery and pump as shown below
5. Nozzles: For round balers use the bracket and U-clamps provided, position the 2 nozzles about 50 cm apart, 40-50 cm
above the pick-up reel. For square balers which have a faster work rate, three nozzles will probably be required to
cover the full width of the pickup. For forage harvesters a single nozzle is usually mounted to spray into the chopping
box or chute although two can be mounted above the pickup.
In all cases the aim should be to cover the full
width of the pickup reel, to ensure optimum coverage.
6. Connect the remaining length of cable to the ‘battery’ end of the control box (red to red +ve, black to black -ve).
7. Before using for the first time wash the inside of the tank with a hose to remove any particles that might block the
filter. Remove the water through the drain at the base of the tank.
