Calibration Results
Compare the calibration results with the
Product Flow Rate Charts in this manual. A
difference in flow rates could indicate the
following:
- Incorrect sprocket installation on the
ground drive system. See Figure 5-4 for
correct sprocket layout.
- Gearbox is not properly set.
- The flow rate characteristic or density of
the product has changed.
- Metering rollers are worn or damaged.
- Metering roller gap is not correct.
- A mathematical error was made.
- Alternate rate was engaged instead of
normal rate.
If a difference occurs after eliminating the
above possible causes, contact your Valmar
dealer.
