four and six calibration loads. You can complete a weight calibration at any time during the season;
however it is recommended that you calibrate grain weight at the beginning of the season.
Note: Start the calibration procedure with the combine stopped, the combine grain tank empty, and a hauling
vehicle empty.
1. Open Region Options Screen
While performing a Harvest Operation, press the Harvest Button,
and the Harvest Screen appears. Press the Region Display Item,
and the Region Options screen appears, as shown. (For an
illustration of this, see
“Harvest Screen Display Items” on page
2. Flag Region as Calibration Load
Press the Flag Region as Calibration Load check box; then press
the checkmark box to return to the Harvest Screen.
3. Choose Speed or Swath Width
Decide the speed at which you will drive or the swath width you will use for this load. Try to keep your speed
or swath width as constant as possible for the entire load.
4. Harvest Calibration Load
Harvest a load weighing between 3,000 and 6,000 pounds (1,361 to 2,721 kilograms).
5. Empty Grain and Weigh Load
Empty the grain tank completely onto a truck or wagon, and weigh it with an accurate scale. Record each
individual load weight to be entered into the display. (No grain from any other combine should be unloaded
into this hauling vehicle).
6. Change Loads
In the display, immediately change to another load that does not have any data.
7. Weigh and Record Load Weight
Weigh the grain on the hauling vehicle and record the actual load weight.
• If you are using a weigh wagon to weigh the grain, make sure the wagon has been calibrated properly.
• Only use one scale during this calibration process.
• Use the same vehicle for all calibration loads.
• Do not use a semi truck, as this vehicle’s capacity is too large for a calibration load.
8. Repeat for Four Calibration Loads
9. Repeat steps 1-7 for a minimum of four calibration loads
These calibration loads should be uniform in size.
10. Harvest each of these loads at a different grain flow rate
Grain flow can be altered by changing the ground speed for each load (the recommended method) or using
different swath widths for each load.
11. Name Calibration Loads
As you enter these calibration loads, name them by using the appropriate region names, (for example name
Region 1 = 5.0 mph, Region 2 = 4.5 mph, etc). This will eliminate confusion when identifying calibration
loads.
