Periodic Checks
for Accuracy

Check the monitor for calibration accuracy periodically throughout the
season by weighing a monitor load of grain. If you find the monitor is not
accurate, enter that actual weight into the monitor and calibrate the monitor
again.

Note: If you do not vary your flow rates while harvesting your initial
calibration loads, later in the season you may find the monitor is not accurate
because you are harvesting at a different grain flow rate than for what you
have calibrated. Entering one or two more calibration loads at that grain
flow rate will improve your accuracy greatly.

Adjusting for
Chain Slack

If you adjust for slack in your clean grain elevator chain during the season,
make sure that you use the lower adjuster. If you move the top shaft of the
grain elevator, your calibration will be inaccurate and you will have to enter
all new calibration loads.
