Approved Mounting Location

The CLS-680 should be installed in a location that allows for free visibility and out of the way of the forklift operator. The RAM
Mounts option allows ease of installation and flexibility when mounting the CLS-680 on the forklift frame. It is recommended to
install the RAM mount clamp base at the very front left of the overhead forklift frame.
The CLS-680 Forklift Scale Display can be moved to the best viewing angle for the operator by adjusting the angle of the RAM
mount double socket arm that connects the clamp base to the C size ball on the back of the CLS-680.

RAM Mounting

The following procedure shows how to use the RAM mounting option to secure the CLS-680 to a forklift frame.
1. Secure the RAM mount clamp base with 1.5'' C size ball to the forklift frame with two screws and locknuts. Tools
needed for this step are a 1/2'' wrench and a 3/16'' hex key
2. Loosely attach the RAM mount double socket arm to the 1.5'' C size ball of the clamp base.
3. Position the CLS-680 1.5'' C size ball into the open end of the RAM mount double socket arm and tighten down the
nob until both balls are secured firmly.
Loosen and tighten the RAM mount double socket arm nob as needed to appropriately position the CLS-680 display
