back
(toward cart center). Pull the outside end of the
chute to the outside and down.

Open calibration door
(front door, at air inlet side)
on meter(s) being calibrated. See page 46 for door
operations.
Material Loss Risk:
Open only the calibration door (front, meter air inlet side).
Do not open the clean-out door (rear door, meter air outlet
side) or material will flow in large quantities. It is generally
not possible to re-close the clean-out door, with sufficient air
seal, until the hopper is empty.
Refer to Figure 49
7.
For calibration, remove calibration bag
and
scale
from storage compartment.
Note: The empty bag weighs 0.91 kg (2.00 pounds).
Refer to Figure 50
