ASSEMBLY SYNOPSIS
Assembly of the scale is a very straightforward procedure. Most of the required assembly
time is in positioning the large, heavy platforms.

The platforms are labeled in sequence at each junction.

Once in place, the platforms are secured together with brackets. All brackets are labeled
to match up to the platform junctions.

The end ramps are secured to the platforms with a single bolt.

Each scale platform has a cable that runs directly to one of the three digital indicators. All
cables have quick connectors that are plainly labeled.

• The cables from the right side weighing platforms pass through the left side
platforms (at a junction) and then connect to the digital indicators.

• The cables from the left side weighing platforms run directly to the digital
indicators.

• The digital indicators display the weight of the steering axle, the drive axles,
and the trailer axles. The Trailer Axles Indicator displays three weights: Trailer
Axle Scale 1, Trailer Axle Scale 2, and the total weight of both Trailer Axle
Scales.

• The wireless remote displays are factory-interfaced and require no setup
(related digital indicator must be operating).

Important Note: The location of the scale installation is very important. The scale MUST
be installed on a level concrete surface. Never install the scale on asphalt. Asphalt is not
hard enough to take heavy loads and the scale will sink into the asphalt over time. Ample
space must be available for vehicles to accurately approach and exit the platforms.

• Digital Indicator Stands (3)

• Wireless Scoreboard Remote Displays (3)

2. PLAN YOUR SET UP

Refer to the System Setup Diagram on page 8 for planning your set up.

Determine the track width of the vehicles to be weighed on the scale, as this will
determine the distance required between the left and right platforms.

After the locations of the platforms have been determined, it may be helpful to snap
chalk lines to refer to when fork lifting the platforms into position.

3. FORKLIFT THE PLATFORMS INTO POSITION

Refer to the System Setup Diagram on page 8 when fork lifting the platforms

into position.

Locate the two blue weighing platforms labeled R14 and L14. Per the System Setup
Diagram, place these two platforms at the approach end of the platform arrangement.

Following the System Setup Diagram, continue placing the left and right platforms
into position, matching the end labels in sequence. Be sure to continually check the
platform positions for running in a straight line, and for consistent spacing between
the left side and right side platforms.

4. ATTACH THE PLATFORM BRACKETS

Refer to the System Setup Diagram on page 8 when attaching the platform

brackets.

Place all brackets into positions as marked to match up to the platform junctions

(when attaching, the brackets can be turned over so that the markings face inward).
Loosely bolt all brackets into position.

Recheck that all platforms are in correct position (a pry bar may be useful for making
small adjustments to the platform positions), and then securely tighten down all
brackets.

5. ATTACH THE FOUR RAMPS

Place the ramps into position and securely bolt down to the end platforms.

6. CHECK PLATFORMS FOR ROCKING

Check all weighing platforms for corner-to-corner rocking. Shim as needed.

7. LOOSEN AND ADJUST THE CHECKING BOLTS ON THE WEIGHING

PLATFORMS

Three checking bolts are located at the end of each weighing platform. These bolts
are tightened down for shipping.

In order for the scales to work properly, all checking bolts on all weighing
platforms must be adjusted after receiving the scale.

Adjust the checking bolts on each platform as follows: Using a #8 allen wrench,
remove all the weighing platform access panels. Referring to the diagram below:

• Back out the two side bolts, and adjust to a 1/2“ gap between the end of

the bolt and the internal frame.

• Back out the end nut, and adjust to 1/2” gap between the nut and the inner

frame floor.

• Replace all access panel covers and securely fasten.
