It is more important to know the range and distribution of moisture in stored grain than it is to
know the average moisture content, since an average may not reveal the presence of high
moisture pockets.
Moisture migration may result in an accumulation of moisture in the top layers of the grain. It
is necessary, therefore, to take at least one sample from this area when checking the
moisture content of grain in a bin. Proper use of a moisture meter will show when to
ventilate a bin and when fans can be shut down. These tests can be made in a very short
time.

Store your meter in a clean, dry place. The protective carrying case provided is an ideal
storage place when the meter is not in use.
Change the 9-Volt battery as needed. Continued use with a low battery may cause the meter
to go out of calibration.
Clean the meter with any biodegradable cleaner. Use the cleaner sparingly and on external
parts only. Keep cleaner out of the external connector.
Brush off excess material from the sample cup and upper electrode assembly after each
use.
Remove the battery if the meter will not to be used for one month or longer
