SCALE BRACKET AND LOAD CELL MOUNTING INSTALLATION FOR
REFUGE HOPPER
A Refuge Option on a planter is a planter fitted with a third hopper located on the front of the planter.
An extra load cell and brackets are required to weigh the extra third hopper.
1. Remove the refuge hopper leg and bolt
in the new scale leg.
2. Use the 3/4” X 5” bolts to hold weigh bar
in place.
3. Bolt the top bracket to the frame with
the 18” x 9-1/2” U-Bolt.
Note:
It is important that the load cell
arrow, located on the end of the load cell,
must be pointing
upward
.
The indicator can also be mounted to the railing in
between the hopper. Then it can be turned to face
backward while filling the hoppers, and turned
forward for observation from the cab while
planting.
