6. Weigh the seed that has gone through in one minute.
Write down your time and calculate the output per minute.
Use the following example with your choice of weight per
minute in place of the 600 pounds.
Example: 600 pounds discharge in one minute.
If 600 pounds is an acceptable capacity, leave the hopper
ow door in the position you have set.
If the capacity is too
high then reduce the opening on the
hopper ow door and calibrate again.
If the capacity is too low then increase the opening of the
hopper ow door and calibrate again.
Repeat steps
4-6 until you achieve your required feed
capacity.
