1.2.1 Forklift Derating
Capacity Reduction Calculation
While the CLS-M3 will fit most typical forklifts, there are considerations that must be taken into account prior to
installation. Due to the extra weight of the CLS-M3, the net lifting capacity of the forklift is reduced by
approximately 10 percent. Use the formula below to calculate the amount to down-rate the lifting capacity and
determine the net capacity of the forklift.
E + G + H
A = Truck Basic Capacity in pounds B = Inches from front wheel center line to fork face
C = Inches from face to truck rating point (usually 24) D = Weight of scale in pounds
E = Inches from front wheel center line to carriage face F = Inches from carriage face to scale horizontal center of gravity (HCG)
G = J + K (inches from carriage face to rear face of load H = Inches from fork face to new truck rating point
J = Thickness of fork K = Thickness of scale
CLS Classes and ID Plates
During the initial sale or installation of the CLS-M3, remind the customer that they must have an updated ID plate
on the forklift stating the new lifting capacity and center of gravity information. This is require3d per OSHA rules
and regulations.

Note
Take into consideration that the indicator power source will be connected directly to the battery of the
forklift. Most typical is 12 volts for propane, gas and diesel forklifts.
12 volt systems must have a negative ground so ensure the forklift has a negative ground electrical
system. The CLS will not operate on a positive ground forklift. Refer to the forklift users manual to further
verify grounding requirements.
The standard CLS scales use 9-36V power supply for use on 12 V batteries. If the forklift is an electric system,
make sure to install:
PN 166162 – DC-DC Converter, CLS
PN 166161 – Power Line Filter, CLS (for static protection)
1.3 CLS-M3 Power and PC Connection
The CLS-M3 receives power from a mobile PC through the RS-232 port, this eliminates the need for a
Communication/Power box.

2.0 Scale Base Installation
WARNING
CAUTION
This section describes procedures for installing the Cargo Lift Scale base.
Take all necessary safety precautions when installing the scale carriage, including wearing safety shoes
and protective eyewear, and using the proper tools, which are listed in Section 2.4.
The Cargo Lift Scale is shipped from the factory with the scale already calibrated and all settings stored in the jbox. Minimal adjustments and calibration might be necessary once the scale is installed onto the forklift. Those
calibration steps are contained in Section 4.6 on page 36.
2.1 Before Installation
Before installing the CLS on a forklift, the forklift should be in good operating condition for optimal weighing
accuracy. Look for the following items prior to installing the CLS onto a forklift:
•Inspect the forks for any damage.
•Check the locking pin on the forks for proper function.
•Check and adjust the lift chain so the heel of the forks have 1/2 to 1 inch of clearance from the floor when the
carriage is down and the mast is vertical.
•The slot for the center pin should be clear of grease and debris.
•The top cleats of the forklift rest on the top of the scale and should remain clear of grease and debris that
could alter the scale’s performance.
The power/communication box will be connected directly to the battery of the forklift. The CLS scale works with
9-36 VDC power source.
All systems must have a negative ground.
2.2 Tools Needed to Install the CLS-M onto the Forklift
Once the forklift is deemed in good mechanical and operating condition, use the following tools to remove it from
its shipping pallet and install onto the forklift.

WARNING
Note
Use the following steps to install the scale base to the forklift.
Figure 2-4. Anti-shift Centering Pin, Shim Bolts and Top Cleat Locations (One Scale Configuration Shown)
Verify that the shim bolts are flush with the back plate of the scale. Not doing so will place the entire scale
out of alignment when attaching it onto the forklift and will make it difficult to make final adjustments
once the scale is mounted onto the forklift.
1. Making sure the forks are removed from the forklift, move the forklift in close to the pallet and scale.
2. Ensure the anti-shift centering pin on the scale assembly is aligned with the center notch on the forklift
carriage.
The scale’s centering pin should be aligned with the middle notch of the forklift carriage. Verify that the
centering pin is adjusted so that the pin is located well within the center notch area of the carriage. The
centering pin should not touch the bottom of the notch on the original carriage, as this will cause side to side
tilting of the scale. The outside top cleats provide support to the scale assembly and the centering pin only
helps to position the scale on the forklift carriage. The centering pin should not bear any weight. If it does, the
use of a grinder to grind down the centering pin will help remedy that.
3. Tilt the mast forward slightly to catch the scale assembly.
4. Carefully and slowly raise the scale carriage slightly so the top cleats (cleat location shown in Figure 2-4)
5. Tilt the mast back to secure the connection and raise the scale to shoulder height.
6. Attach the bottom cleats to the bottom of the scale assembly (see Figure 2-5 for bottom cleat location), so

3.1 Routing Coiled Interface Cable
Special care should be taken when routing the coiled interface cable. To ensure that the cable is installed properly
and away from situations that could cause it harm use the following steps:
1. The cable was connected to the load cell j-box during the scale installation. Retrieve the cable and route to
the mobile PC from the forklift scale.
2. Routing of cable will vary depending on forklift style. The preferred route for a single stage forklift is
through the center of the mast, up the front/right upright, to the area where the mobile PC is mounted.
Figure 3-2. Signal Cable Located Between the Scale and the Mobile PC
3. Secure with cable ties at the scale, at the top of the mast and several other locations to keep it securely in
place.
4. Slowly and carefully extend the mast to all positions to confirm that the cable isn’t pulled too tight or that
there are no pinch points along the way.
5. Check for proper signal cable clearance as the side shifter (if used), is moved back and forth.
When routing cables do not obstruct the view of OSHA labels on the forklift.
