Page 6
The type of installation will govern the method of
locating, attaching and assembling the parts of a load
point. The following is a typical installation:
Removing the
Load Sensor
Step 1. Check to be sure you have all the parts.
Step 2. Take the load off the load cell.
Step 3. Use a flat screw driver and push the retain-
ing rings off the clevis pin on both clevis
mounts. (See Fig. 6)
Step 4. Pull the two clevis pins out of the clevises
and ball joints. (See Fig. 6)
Step 5. Slide the load sensor with the rod ends out
of the clevis mounts.
Step 6. Use a box end or crescent wrench and
loosen the lock nuts on both rod ends that
are fastened to the load sensor. (See Fig. 6)
Step 7. Use a small piece of masking tape or chalk
to mark the location of the lock nuts for re-
assembly.
Step 8. Use channel locks to loosen the rod ends.
Step 9. Remove both rod ends from the load cell.
Installing a New
Load Sensor
Step 1. Get a new load sensor.
Step 2. Replace the rod ends and tighten with
channel locks to the mark made by the
masking tape or the chalk.
Step 3. Remove the masking tape or wipe off the
chalk.
Step 4. Tighten the lock nut.
Step 5. Insert the ball joint of one of the rod ends
between the jaws of the clevis mounting
block. (See Fig. 6)
Step 6. Align the holes in the ball joint with the
holes in the clevis.
Step 7. Slide the clevis pin through the clevis and
the ball joint holes.
Step 8. Insert the retaining rings in the grooves on
both sides of the clevis pin until the ring
snaps onto the pin.
Step 9. Repeat Step 5 through Step 8 for the other
clevis mounting block.
Step 10. Put the load back on the load point assem-
bly.
