Before Installation
Before installing the CLS on a forklift, the forklift should be in good operating condition for optimal weighing accuracy. Look for
the following items prior to installing the CLS onto a forklift:
• Inspect the forks for any damage
• Check the locking pin on the forks for proper function
• Check and adjust the lift chain so the heel of the forks have 1/2 to 1 inch of clearance from the floor when the carriage is
down and the mast is vertical
• The slot for the center pin should be clear of grease and debris
• The top cleats of the forklift rest on the top of the scale and should remain clear of grease and debris that could alter the
scale's performance
The power/communication box will be connected directly to the battery of the forklift. The CLS scale works with 9-36 VDC
power source.
All systems must have a negative ground.
