4.2.6 Odometer Calibration
This test ensures that the odometer is measuring distance accurately. Even though the
odometer is calibrated in the factory, you must calibrate it periodically to ensure accuracy. This
is particularly important as the calibration can change with different surface materials.
When selecting this option, you will see the screen in Figure 4-16. The following options exist:

Odometer Test
– This test verifies the odometer is calibrated properly. It involves
moving the system a set distance (5m or 1
0’, depending on units used), and comparing
the value obtained to a known value. The screen in Figure 4-17 will be displayed once
Odometer Test is pressed. Press
Start to begin and then press Finish
when you’ve
moved that distance. It will display a pass or fail, along with a percentage difference
from the known value (Figure 4-18).
