Maintenance 35
Building a simple framework that can be set into the provided scale posts can
accommodate mounting of most any panel. In some cases extra support of the
mounting frame may be required.
Figure 5-4 shows the suggested construction of a framework you can build to support
the type of gathering panels you have. Some gathering panels can be set directly into
the corner posts located on the corners of the scale and require only a shortened
version of the drawing above that can be set into the top of the panels. (See Figure 5-
5) However, with the wide variety of panels available we cannot provide a mounting
means for all of them.
However you decide to mount you panels you must ensure the panels or framework
are not attached to the scale cage and must have a clearance of 1" from any live
portion of the scale. Any contact between the panels or framework and the scale can
cause the weight reading to be inaccurate.
Figure 5-5. Gather Panel Attachment
Gathering Panel Warranty Information
Gathering panels or handling attachments must be removed from
the scale during transport. The scale is not intended for the
transportation of goods or livestock.
The design of the scale only allows for 100 pounds to be added to
either end of the scale, for a MAXIMUM addition of 200 pounds,
during transport. All attachments that will remain on the scale
must not exceed the weight limit of 100 pounds on the front and/
or 100 pounds on the rear. If the total of the attachments on either
the front or the rear exceeds 100 pounds the warranty will be
void.
Any additions to the scale may affect the balance and towability
of the scale.
Any attachments to the scale must be secured during transport
and not interfere with any safety device or the operation scale
mechanisms.
