Page 11: Load Cell Replacement
Load Cell Replacement Disassembly 1. Remove the four locknuts and washers that secure the platform to load cell channels. Lift off the platform. Remove the column back plate to gain access to the j-box. 2. Determine which load cell is defective. Use a hardened hex-drive bit and large ratchet wrench to remove the four hex-drive countersunk machine screws holding the channel to the defective load cell underneath. - Page 12 (Cells 2 & 3 disabled) Figure 3-1 DeckHand Junction Box Cutaway Replacing Deck Platform Put the scale flat on the floor and set the platform on the channels so the welded studs drop into the channel holes. Tilt and block the scale up again and install a flat washer and locknut on each stud. Turn the lock nut onto each stud until the washer just contacts the channel underside.
- Page 13 The indicator must be connected and approximately calibrated, but it need not indicate the exact weight value. An exact calibration will be done after trimming. A test weight is required for corner trimming. The recommended minimum test weight for all DeckHand models is 25% of scale capacity.
