8. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Solution
8.1. When measuring high moisture grain/seed
there might be a possible contact of two
grinding discs thus displaying “Hi”.
Carry out a new measurement with an increased
sample size. Try with approx. 2-3 ml (on top) more
than the quantity indicated in the display. In
particular when measuring maize with more than
20% moisture and above, 2 x 9ml must be
measured out for grinding, as stated in the display.
