SET UP THE SCALE
STEP 1: Determine Location of Use
Be sure to select a location that is LEVEL AND
SOLID, such as a thick concrete slab.
Unacceptable surfaces include packed earth,
blacktop, and gravel. Unacceptable surfaces will
give way beneath the weighing platform and result
in inaccurate weighing.
STEP 2: Forklift Platforms Into Position
Unband the platforms pallet. If indicator stand is
included, set aside. With a forklift, pickup one
weighing platform from the shipping pallet. To protect
electronics, be sure to fork from the side of the
platform that does not have the junction box.
Forklift the first platform into position. Refer to the
illustration above: junction boxes should face inward,
and location of digital indicator needs to be taken
into consideration.
Based on the track width of vehicles to be weighed,
place second platform into position. Make sure
platforms DO NOT ROCK from corner to corner.
Remove and set aside the four ramp connecting
bolts from both platforms.
STEP #3: Forklift Ramps Into Position
Place each ramp into position at platform ends.
Securely bolt ramps onto weighing platforms.
STEP# 4: Connect Cables to Junction Boxes
(wiring diagrams are on the back side of this sheet)
Remove both cables from the shipping box. Remove
the cover from one of the platform’s junction box.
Feed the wire leads of one cable into the box through
the available port on the box. Referring to wiring
diagram, connect the five cable wires to the terminal
block labeled “INDICATOR”. Following the same
procedures, connect the second cable to the second
weighing platform. Replace the covers on the
junction boxes.
STEP#5: Connect Platform Cables to Digital
Indicator
Place digital indicator near platforms and connect
both cables from the platforms to the quick-connect
sockets attached to the digital indicator cables.
