the scale deck.
CAUTION As a safety precaution, always use setting blocks when jacking scale module.
2. Disconnect the load cell terminal connections in the junction box.
3. Disconnect the flex conduit from the rigid conduit at the frame.

4. Pull the load cell cable out of the conduit.
5. Remove the two load cell bolts and lift out load cell and link assembly.
6. Remove 90° conduit connector and flex cable. Install 90° conduit connector and flex conduit on new load
cell in the same position as was removed.
7. Install link over new load cell. Reinstall load cell and link assembly onto the baseplate. Install load cell
mount bolts and torque to 50 – 75 ft-lb.
8. Pull load cell cable through conduit using pull cord. Make a loop in flex conduit between the load cell and
the rigid conduit. Reconnect flex conduit to rigid conduit.
9. Remove setting blocks and lower scale module so that it rests on the link. Check link to verify that it is
centered and plum.
10. Connect wiring to terminals in junction box.
