-
Check entire scale for build up of debris. If any debris is
found under the scale frame or around the Load Cells
remove it immediately.
-
Visually check all external cables and conduit for damage.
Check and ensure the load cell cables are free to move
with the load cell.
-
Check hydraulic cylinders and lines for leakage and ensure
they will not prevent the scale from moving freely. If a
cylinder or hose is leaking replace it as soon as possible. A
leaking cylinder may cause the scale to settle and give
inaccurate readings during a transaction.
-
Raise and lower the scale to ensure the up/down alarm is
working properly.
-
Check the lock down bolt adjustment.
The lockdown bolts should be adjusted so that the
hydraulic cylinders are extended minimum 1/8” to
maximum 1/4” when the system is locked down. As well,
the load cells should be loose in the lock down position.
To adjust the lock downs, loosen the jam nut on the lock
down bolt. With the jam nut loose adjust the lock down
bolts so that the cylinders are extended between 1/8” and
1/4”. Check the load cell and ensure it is loose. If you are
unable to achieve an adjustment where the cylinder is
slightly extended and the load cell is loose contact you
scale dealer.
