Middle Load Cell Support Assembly Instructions For Dual Hoppers
Figure 3

nut. Tighten to 30 ft-lbs.
NOTE:
Rubber mounts should remain perpendicular to load cell bar.
Single Hopper Load Cell Assembly Installation
(See Figure 4)
1. On the right hopper side loosen the four 1/2" bolts that hold the seed hopper to the frame. Do not
remove hardware.
2. On the left side remove the 1/2" bolts that hold the seed hopper to the frame.
3. If possible, on the inner frame on the left side (that runs under the seed hopper) place a jack between
the frame and seed hopper. Lift the seed hopper up so that the load cell assembly can slide
underneath the hopper. It is recommended the hopper be supported by two methods when attaching
the load cells and brackets. In addition to lifting the hopper with a chain or nylon strap, the hopper
should be supported in the middle with a hydraulic jack or stands.
IMPORTANT:
The lifting chains, bucket attachments, loader/skid steer or winch must be capable of lifting and
controlling 1000 lbs.
4. Install the outer load cell and bracket assembly with 1/2 x 1.0 bolt, lock washer and flat washer between
the seed hopper and support frame. Keep the hardware loose. It may be necessary to loosen or
remove the meter drive chain.
5. Go to the right hopper side and repeat steps 2-4.
6. The seed hopper is now supported by the two outer load cells. Install the outer 5/8" x 4.0" check bolts
flat washer and 5/8" jam nut. Thread the 5/8" bolt into the lower bracket threaded hole until the check
bolts bottoms out on the main hopper support frame. Then secure with the 5/8" jam nut. The 5/8"
check rod should be centered in the top plate 7/8" diameter clearance hole. If not, loosen the (8) 1/2" x
1.0 bolts and adjust and align the top and bottom plates and retighten 1/2" x 1.0" bolts.
