4.0 Service Information
4.1 Periodic Maintenance
Clean the space between the platform side and pit frame and the surface beneath the platform to prevent debris
build up.
Use care with high pressure steam washdowns for hermetically-sealed load cells. The steam may not damage the
load cells, but the elevated temperatures may cause incorrect readings until the unit cools to room temperature.
4.2 Load Cell Replacement
You can order replacement load cells from Rice Lake Weighing Systems according to the part numbers in the table
in Section 4.3.
Lift the scale only with a properly designed spreader bar as shown in Figure 4-1. Lifting force must be
vertical to avoid bending the eye bolts.
Figure 4-1. Proper Lifting Technique.
Remove foot from load cell. Disconnect load cell cable from the junction box and cut cable ties.
Lay the load cell near the corner where you will install it. Thread the load cell cable through the conduit tubing and
wire to the junction box. See Figure 2-1 on page 4 and the corner numbering diagram in Figure 2-1 on page 7.
Check that the threaded holes for the load cell screws are free of debris. Use compressed air to blow out holes if
necessary. Position load cells with alignment arrows pointed up toward the scale deck and loosely install the hex
head cap screws provided, as shown in Figure 4-2.
