Maintaining Your Pasture Meter
Whilst the equipment has been designed to withstand the purpose for which it is
intended, regular inspection and timely attention to any necessary maintenance
will reduce the likelihood of equipment failure in the field.
Please remember: How you treat it, is how it will treat you.
1. Regularly check all sled bolts to ensure they are tight.
2. Regularly check that the 4 bolts attaching the sensor to the sled.
3. The nuts on the bolts associated with the wheel raising and lowering
mechanisms are required to be only tight enough to remove slack.
4. Do not adjust the 14 Allen head screws which bolt the sensor
together. There are 4 on each rear side of the sensor and 6 on top
securing the lid. These screws are torque set and sealed against the
ingress of water. The lid is also sealed in place with sealing compound.
Note: Removal of any of these screws will void the product warranty.
5. Regularly inspect the two strips of glass on either side of the sensor
uprights for damage and signs of water ingress. Evidence of condensation
on the inside of the glass indicates the presence of moisture. If moisture is
present internally, return the sensor to C-Dax for inspection immediately.
