1 With the cotton picker stopped, the cotton basket completely empty,
and a hauling vehicle empty, set the monitor on a load that does not
have any data. Make sure the load is set on the correct cotton
calibration set.
2 Harvest cotton into the calibration load in the monitor.
NOTE: Harvest 3,000 or more lbs for calibration loads.
3 Unload one or more times into the hauling vehicle, finishing with the
following:
•
Cotton basket again empty
•
All the cotton from the calibration load on the hauling vehicle
•
No cotton from any other picker on the hauling vehicle
4 Immediately change to another load that does not have any data.
5 Weigh the cotton on the hauling vehicle and record the actual load
weight on a log sheet in the back of this section of the manual.
NOTE: If you are using a weigh wagon to weigh the cotton, make
sure the wagon has been calibrated properly.
6 Repeat the above steps and harvest another calibration load. You
can also enter an actual weight and calibrate as you obtain each
