Introduction
THANK YOU for purchasing a AgraTronix product.
READ THIS MANUAL carefully to learn how to operate and
service your machine correctly.
THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED a permanent part
of your machine and remain with the machine when you sell it.
WRITE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS in the Serial Number
section (page 12). Your dealer needs these numbers if your
tester needs repairs.
WARRANTY is provided by AgraTronix for dealers for custom-
ers who operate and maintain their equipment as described in
this manual. The warranty is explained below.
Reasons to test your corn's moisture content:
• Most corn stove manufacturers recommend a corn moisture percentage of 15%
or less.
• Manufacturers recommend this because corn with a higher moisture content will not
burn as efficiently (meaning heat loss), and corn with a higher moisture content can
cause damage to the corn stove or impede proper corn stove operation.
• Whenever the moisture content of the corn is above 15.5%, then there will be less
heat available from each pound of shelled corn. For each one percent increase in
moisture content above 15.5% there will be a corresponding reduction of about 90
BTU of heat per pound of corn. 1
• Some corn stove manufacturers will recommend "an ideal" moisture content. Please
refer to your corn stove owner's manual for specific detail, and always follow your corn
stove manufacturers recommendations.
• Corn should be clean and free of debris (cob pieces or other foreign material) as this
will cause heat loss and can impede proper operation.
This product is guaranteed to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two (2) years from
