For best  results, insert probe into the “dense” side of bale at a 
45˚ angle. Take readings in at least  five (5) places 
(approximately 15 cm apart along  the bale  centre-line) and use 

the highest reading as a guideline.

3.3 Round Bales:

Test  readings  can be taken anywhere around the outside 
surface of the bale,  NOT THE ENDS, as long as the probe  tip is 
inside  the outer wrap, since  the outer layer tends to dry out 
first. For best  results, insert probe into the outside radius  of 
the bale at a  45˚ angle  and at least  30 cm deep. Take readings 
in at least  five (5) places (approximately 15 cm apart ) and use 
the highest  reading  as  a guideline  (see  in picture above).

4. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1.After each use, always store your tester in a clean, dry and 
handy place.
2.The metal tip of  the probe should  be wiped clean  between 
each use  for best  results.  Clean  both parts of the metal tip 
from time  to time  with fine  steel wool  and/or  mineral  spirits 
or alcohol.  

A dirty tip can cause lower readings.

 Keep the brass 

shiny  for best results.
3.Never immerse the probe in water.
4.Remove the battery, if your tester will  not be used for several 
months.
