Maintenance

Cleaning

• After each use, gently wipe the metal probe with a clean, dry cloth to remove any grain residue.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the probe or the device casing.
• Ensure the device is completely dry before storing.

Storage

• Store the Grain Moisture Meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Always place the plastic protective sleeve over the probe when not in use to prevent accidental injury and protect the probe.
• If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Device not powering on: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary.
