Page 3: Model Number Note
Model Number Note This guide is intended for use for scales set to model number 5809. LoadMaxx Tractor Scale Overview LoadMaxx is a weighing system for vehicles that works by using a hydraulic lift sensor. The sensor measures hydraulic lift pressure changes and converts that number into weight which is displayed in the truck cab. -
Page 4: Navigating The Scale Menu
Navigating the Scale Menu To illuminate the display: press any key one time. To go back: push the ESC key to revert to the previous screen. Any unsaved changes will be erased if you press ESC To select a menu item: use the up or down arrow keys ▲ or ▼ to highlight your chosen menu item. -
Page 5: Calibration
Calibration For the best calibration results, the tractor and trailer should be: • Parked on level ground • Tractor brakes released • Engine running • Raise the 5th wheel plate 1.5” off of the stoppers for HEAVY weight Once the LoadMaxx Tractor Scale is calibrated, it is not necessary to re-calibrate unless the suspension or hydraulic lift system characteristics change. -
Page 6: Calibrating The Tractor Scale Overview
Calibrating The Tractor Scale Overview The order of calibration is not important; however, both EMPTY and HEAVY weights must be properly entered before the weight display is accurate. When calibrating, the EMPTY weights must be entered while the vehicle is empty, and the HEAVY weights must be entered while the vehicle is fully loaded. -
Page 7: Calibrating Heavy Weights
Calibrating Heavy Weights Use a certified scale to get your drive suspension weight. Make sure the trailer is fully loaded and that the 5th wheel plate is 1.5” off the stoppers when you enter the weight data. 1. Using the same steps you did in entering your Empty weights, navigate to the HEAVY WEIGHT screen 2. -
Page 8: Operations
Operations Once calibrated, your Air-Weigh LoadMaxx Tractor Scale is ready to display weights in 20lb (20kg) increments. Continued accuracy is established by following a few simple rules before taking weight readings: 1. Park the tractor and trailer on a level surface 2. -
Page 9: Display Backlight And Set-Up
Display Backlight and Set-Up Like other gauges, the scale display is “key-on” powered, so it is always operating. Pressing any key will automatically turn on the display backlight. The display screen will automatically drop into its programmed “sleep mode” with the backlight turns off after one to 30-minutes from the last keystroke operation. -
Page 10: Large Character Display
Large Character Display The Air-Weigh LoadMaxx Tractor Scale can display weights on either three lines or two lines. Only the Weights Displays can appear as large characters on two lines. On this display, axle group names are represented by their first letters: S = STEER G = Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) -
Page 11: Creating A Pin
Creating a PIN When the trailer scale PIN is set to 0, the operator will not need to enter a PIN to access the PROGRAM menu functions. Setting a PIN into the LoadMaxx Tractor Scale will eliminate tampering with that scale’s CALIBRATION, SCALE TYPE, and PIN settings. -
Page 12: Alarm Function
