Welding Procedure

Balebuster Welding Procedures For Machines With The Weigh Scale Option
Precautions are required for welding on machines with electronic components. Electronic components including but
not limited to: electronic scales
Proper welding procedures are necessary in order to avoid damage to the components, their sensors, and associated
components.
When possible, remove the parts to be welded from the machine.
If not possible to remove the parts, follow the following procedure:
NOTE: Do not ground the welder to electrical components listed above, sensors, or wiring. Improper
grounding can also damage bearings or hydraulic components. Clamp the ground cable from the
welder to the part that will be welded. Place the clamp as close as possible to the weld. This will help
reduce the possibility of damage.
1. Unhitch the Balebuster from the tractor.
2. Disconnect the connectors from the electronic scale. Move the connectors to a position that will not allow
the connectors to accidentally move back and make contact with any of the pins.
3. Connect the welding ground cable directly to the part that will be welded. Place the ground cable as close
as possible to the weld in order to reduce the possibility of welding current damage to bearings, hydraulic
components, and electrical components.
NOTE: If the electrical/electronic components are used as a ground for the welder, or electrical/
electronic components are located between the welder ground and the weld, current flow from the
welder could damage the components.
4. Protect the wiring harnesses and hydraulic lines from welding debris and spatter.
5. Use standard techniques to weld the materials.
