Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Digi-Star Grain Drill Scale System. This scale system is specifically designed to weigh the seed hopper on a John Deere 750/1560/1590-20 ft Grain Drill. The scale kit can be used to record and monitor seed weight going into or out of the seed hopper.
This scale system is covered by the following US patents: 6,732,667; 7,059,258; 7,273,017; 7,357,087; 7,448,335; 7,523,710; 12/427,915; 6,572,257; and 7,454,304. The single-use license is included with this document (see page 13).
This SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates important safety messages in the manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of PERSONAL INJURY and carefully read the message that follows.
NEVER OPERATE WITHOUT ALL COVERS, SHIELDS AND GUARDS IN PLACE. KEEP HANDS, FEET AND CLOTHING AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Some covers and guards have been removed for illustrative/photographic purposes only in this manual.
For information on ordering repair parts, refer to Parts Section in this book.
This supersedes all previous published instructions.
Important!
Charging Battery and Welding
Disconnect all cables from the weighing indicator before charging the battery or welding on the machine. If cables are left connected, the weighing indicator and connected load cells could be damaged.
Important: Do not weld near indicator, load cells or cables; remove from area to be welded. Place ground close to area to be welded to prevent current from passing through electronic parts.

Scale Bracket and Load Cell Mounting Installation
SCALE BRACKET AND LOAD CELL MOUNTING INSTALLATION
1.Remove the cat walk and drive chain off of both the ten foot seed bins.
2.On the left side of the seed bin, loosen the four bolts that hold the seed bin to the frame. DO NOT remove bolts. Repeat the process on the right side.
3.Remove the bolts on the middle of the two seed boxes. The access hole will need to be cut in order to
access the back bolts.
Access Hole
4.On the inner frame on the left and right sides (that runs under the seed bin) place a jack between the frame and seed bin. Lift the middle of both seed bins up about 2-3”. Install the middle bracket. Do not tighten bolts.
Important: The lifting chains, bucket attachments, loader/skid steer or winch must be capable of lifting and controlling 1000 lbs.

Scale Bracket and Load Cell Mounting Installation
5.Install the front and back middle load cells with the 2-1/4” clevis pins. The load cell’s arrow must be pointed up (located on the end of the load cell). Two of the load cells are marked with short cords for the center of the drill.
6.Next, install the rear middle bracket. Let the seed bin down to about 1”. Use the 2-1/2” x 3/8” clevis pin to hold the weigh-bar in place. The pin should be in the middle of the 1/2” hole.
7.Install the front middle bracket. Install the 2-1/2 x 3/8 clevis pin the same as the rear bracket. Leave all bolts loose.
