The shackle pin and bow are calibrated and load tested together. It is therefore essential for the accuracy of the
system that the following information is adhered to:
•
Each pin and bow must be kept as a pair and not interchanged. The bow is marked with the ID of the pin
it is associated with as shown.
The pin must be aligned in the same orientation with the bow as it was when calibrated.
•
The BroadWeigh shackle is designed to only fit together in one orientation. The ABS enclosure should be
•
on the opposite side to the ID marking on the shackle bow.
The shackle must be used in conjunction with a bobbin or TwistLink, nut and retaining clip as shown:
•
If using a TwistLink, ensure that the load sensing pin is in the side of the TwistLink marked
'Sensor'.
Any out of alignment, side or twist loading will affect the readings given as well as load the shackle in a way that
it was not designed for.
