10k & 14k Scale Load cells.
Installation & Guidelines:
The scale must be installed on a flat, level, and well-drained surface. Concrete is
preferred. Shim under the scale as required. Usually flatness within ±1/8” is required.
The scale is approximately 4” high. Ramps or a shallow pit may be required to facilitate
animal access if used as an animal scale. If a pit is used, adequate drainage is a
MUST.
Assemble load cells and components as shown in the two diagrams. The cross tubes
joining the upper mounts must be used. The scale will NOT function properly if the
upper mounts are not installed correctly. Load cells must be installed as noted on the
“Bending Direction” decal (arrow must point UPWARD).
Position assembled unit as desired on the mounting pad. Mark all required drilled holes
using the lower mount as a template. An angle iron bracket may be welded to the chute
to provide mounting surfaces for the top mounts. Mounting hardware is not provided.
Grease all hardware with a weather resistant grease to make subsequent disassembly
easier.
The chute should be restrained with a horizontal chain or other flexible means if the
scale system is not bolted to concrete. Important: The restraining chain must be
horizontal. Any deviation can add or subtract from the correct scale reading.
