CLS-M Installation/Service Manual Considerations Before Installation 1.2.1 Forklift Derating 1.2.1.1 Capacity Reduction Calculation The CLS fits most typical forklifts, but there are considerations that must be taken into account prior to installation. Due to the extra weight of the CLS, the net lifting capacity of the forklift is reduced by approximately 10%. Use the formula below to calculate the amount to down-rate the lifting capacity and determine the net capacity of the forklift.
CLS-M Installation/Service Manual iQube2 CLS Junction Box The latest CLS Series scales includes an updated version of the iQube2 junction box. This design is built to allow service technicians to easily service the unit in the field. Below is an overview of the new features and functions.
CLS-M Installation/Service Manual Unpacking If any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighin Systems and the shipper immediately. The CLS is shipped upright on a sealed pallet with one or two scales per pallet. Hardware Component Boxes Figure 2-1. CLS-M Packaging Upon receipt of the shipping pallet, inspect it for any visible signs of damage.
CLS-M Installation/Service Manual 2.3.2 Unpacking a Two Scale Configuration The scales are shipped in an upright position which allows for ease of installation. The power/communication box and accessories are located in a hardware component box. When installing from a two scale configuration, complete all of steps for scale one before clipping plastic bands WARNING securing second scale to the shipping pallet.

CLS-M Installation/Service Manual Power/Communication Box Hardware Setup Mounting Locations 3.1.1 Mounting Location #1 The first preference for the mounting location of the box is 4-6'' from the top of the cage on the right rear pillar. If an access hole is available in this location, route the power cable though the roll cage tubing to the battery.
