COMMON QUESTIONS
How do I turn the system on/off?
Turn the key in the tractor to the on position. The 500A1starts
when the baler VT is started. The moisture will display once crop has been fed into the baler.
The moisture content displays “0%” or “HIGH” all the time.
When the moisture content display does not change frequently while bailing, there is likely a faulty
star wheel connection. One of the first places to check is inside the white star wheel block. Check to
see if the electronic swivel is in the star wheel shaft and check to see that the star wheel shaft is not
working out of the block.
Also check star wheel wires and connections to see if there is a continuity or grounding problem.
Another possible cause could be dirt in the terminating resistor on the side of the PIP. Wipe clean
and use dielectric grease. Or replace it.
If there is communication failure with the CAN
(Controlled Area Network) the error message
HARVEST TEC NOT DETECTED will display on the screen.
Should the battery connections be removed before jump starting or charging a battery?
Yes.
Anytime the tractor will have voltage going up rapidly the connections should be removed.
Can the Harvest Tec 500A1 be updated for preservative or a tagger?
Yes. Please ask your
