Select Rate
This button allows you to select the rate at which you want to apply product. Initially, the display will show 10.
This represents the applicator being set to apply for a 10 Ton/Hr harvesting rate. To increase the harvesting
rate, press and hold the SELECT/RATE button until the display scrolls to the approximated harvesting rate. As
you hold the SELECT RATE button, the numbers will scroll from 10-400 and roll back over to 10. This number
should be set at your estimated harvesting rate. Once you reach your selected rate and release the SELECT
RATE button, the application rate is set.

Start / Stop
This button will manually start and stop the application of product. When the applicator is stopped, STOP will
be displayed on the screen. When the applicator is applying, the display will show the accumulated TONS
TREATED. If you are using the End of Row function, a signal supplied from the forage harvester, the signal
from the machine will override the START/STOP button. You will not be able to stop application by pressing
the START/STOP button if the End of Row sensor is plugged into the green pigtail wire on the wire harness.
Tons Treated
This button will show the accumulated tons treated. To reset the accumulated tons treated, press and hold the
TONS TREATED button for three or more seconds.
Gauge Pressure
The pressure reading on the gauge should be between 20 and 25psi. Pressure will increase or decrease as
the application rate is changed. If pressure is not in normal operating range, refer to trouble shooting guide. If
gauge pressure is showing above 30psi, stop C500 immediately.
Cold Weather Operation
If using the applicator during potentially freezing weather (e.g., harvesting high-moisture corn), the addition of a
100% solution of propylene glycol will prevent the inoculant solution from freezing without harming the bacteria.
The table below shows harvest air temperatures and the
recommended amount of 100% propylene glycol
to add per 50 tons harvested . After adding the propylene glycol, top off with water to recommended capacity
(50-ton bottle). Obviously, propylene glycol is not a practical alternative for extremely cold operating conditions.
RV antifreeze will be your easiest and cheapest source of propylene glycol. It must be factored in that most RV
antifreeze products contain only a percentage of propylene glycol.
For example, if the RV antifreeze label shows 25% propylene glycol, you must multiply the
recommendations below by 4
. At 10
o
F, you will be using straight RV antifreeze, as the dissolving,
carrier solution, if the RV antifreeze contains only 25% propylene glycol.
