9.) The indicator is still displaying “CALPt1” at this time…
-If a truck scale is being used: Load some amount of weight onto the feed-
truck/wagon, subtract the “empty weight” from the “loaded weight”. (At this point
the amount of weight inside the feed truck/wagon has been figured.)
-If not using a truck scale: Put a known amount of weight into the truck/wagon.
10.) Press [YES / ENTER], and using the numeric key-pad enter the amount of weight
that is inside the truck/wagon. This number should be visible in the upper display.
