• If you are using a weigh wagon to weigh the grain, make sure the wagon has been calibrated properly. Also,

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.

7. Repeat steps 1-6 for a minimum of four calibration loads. (These calibration loads should be uniform
in size).

Note: 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.

As an example, these calibration regions are shown with varying speed: .

Note: As you enter these calibration loads, name them by using the appropriate region names, (for example,
name Region 1 = 5 mph, Region 2 = 4.5 mph, etc.). This will eliminate confusion when identifying calibration
loads.

8. In the Grain Harvest screen, underneath the Calibration Tab, select the crop type you wish to calibrate
from the drop-down list located in the top, left corner of the tab. Each load that has been flagged as a
calibration load for that crop type will appear under the Grain Weight Calibration part of the tab. (See
picture below).

9. Select one of the loads and press the Enter Weight button. Enter the Actual Weight and press Accept.
Repeat this step for each calibration load.

The grain weight calibration box shows all the regions
that have been selected as a calibration region for the
selected crop type. This allows you to check or uncheck
regions for use in the weight calibration.

It also displays the field and region name in which it was
harvested, the estimated weight for the region, the

actual weight after it is entered, and the percent difference between the two weights.

10. After you have entered all of the actual weights, check the loads to be used and press the green-

colored Perform Calibration button. Determine whether you wish to perform a fast calibration or a full
calibration.

• A fast calibration can be performed with three loads or less.

• A full calibration requires four or more loads. However, a full calibration is more accurate than a fast

calibration.

Note: To perform the most accurate calibration, only check loads that have similar error percentages.

11. When the calibration is complete, examine the error percentage and press OK.

12. You should be able to calibrate the display for grain weight to an average error of 1% to 3%. If the
average error is more than 3%, uncheck the load with the maximum error and re-perform the calibration.
You still must have at least four loads checked to perform a full calibration.
