5. 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 to the forklift.
6. Seal the two-channel iQube if it is to be used in Legal-For-Trade applications.
7. Making sure the forklift tines are removed from the forklift, move the forklift in close to the pallet and
scale.
8. Carefully and slowly raise the scale carriage slightly so the top cleats (cleat location shown in Figure 2-4)
of the scale hook onto the forklift carriage.
9. Ensure the anti-shift centering pin on the scale assembly is aligned with the center notch on the forklift
carriage.
WARNING
Note
The scale’s centering pin should be aligned with the middle notch of the truck 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.
10. Tilt the mast forward to catch the scale assembly and carefully raise the carriage to a comfortable working
position.
11. Attach the bottom cleats to the bottom of the scale assembly (see Figure 2-5), so that the lip of the cleat is
behind the scale carriage.
12. Torque the bottom cleat retaining bolts to 125 ft-lbs (shown in Figure 2-5 for bottom cleat location).
Failure to properly torque the bottom plate retaining bolts may result in bodily harm or damage to
equipment.
13. Next, adjust the shim bolts so that they are adjusted for minimal clearance between the bottom cleats and
the scale carriage. This clearance needs to be .020 inch thickness and can be measured by using a feeler
gauge.
