5.1 ROUTINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The presence of any foreign material in or on the inside of the DUMP
and GRAIN cells will affect the accuracy of moisture determinations.
To clean the inside of the cells, swab out with a soft cloth dampened
with water. Do not use alcohol or other solvent, which can affect the
plastic housing present in the cells.
Verify that the butterfly mechanism in the DUMP cell is working
correctly, and that both wings are opening in the same manner.
Check if the contacts in the DUMP and GRAIN cell are good, verify
that the spring mechanism of the contact brackets is strained enough
to assure good electrical connection
.
When cleaning the grain cell, please be extra careful not to
damage the temperature sensor.
