Page 5: Model Number Note
MODEL NUMBER NOTE This guide is intended for use with the sensor configuration represented by model number 5809. Configuration Lift Trailer Drop & Hook: Trailer weight is available when a trailer 5809 Hydraulic equipped with a calibrated Air-Weigh scale is attached to the tractor. - Page 6 is not necessary to recalibrate unless the suspension characteristics change. For details see “Troubleshooting”. For best accuracy, calibrate and weigh on a level surface. To calibrate or weigh the hydraulic lift, you must lift the front of the trailer slightly to pressurize the hydraulic system. Briefly release the PTO pressure to stabilize the hydraulic pressure.

Page 7: Scale Display Overview
I.A. Scale Display Overview Before using your Air-Weigh Tractor Scale, it is necessary to calibrate it. Before starting that process it’s a good idea to become familiar with the Scale Display. Below is a definition of the use of each button. The function and use of these buttons remain the same throughout all operations of the scale. -
Page 8: Ii.a. Preliminary Considerations
When selecting this calibration method, you MUST enter empty weights when the vehicle is empty and heavy weights when the vehicle is loaded heavy. Failing to do so will result in inaccurate weight readings. Alternatively, for those with hydraulic lift systems or suspensions on several vehicles, it may be more convenient to enter the RATIO and OFFSET calibration data directly, if these are known. -
Page 9: Ii.b. Calibrating The Tractor Scale Overview
II.B. CALIBRATING THE TRACTOR SCALE OVERVIEW For Manual Calibration, the EMPTY and HEAVY axle weights must be entered by the user. When calibrating using this method, 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 12: Ii.e. Calibration By Direct Entry Of Ratio And Offset
II.E. Calibration by Direct Entry of RATIO and OFFSET To use this method, you must first obtain the RATIO and OFFSET values from another LoadMaxx Tractor Scale on a tractor with an identical hydraulic lift system, which already has been correctly calibrated. Then you can directly enter these values into the Tractor Scale you wish to calibrate. -
Page 13: Iv.b. How-To-Weigh Instructions
On all Weight Displays, when a weight is changing, it flashes rapidly until it stabilizes. On all Weight Displays, if a particular axle (or GVW or Net) is over the alarm or warning weight, causing an alarm, a bell icon flashes rapidly between the axle name (or GVW or Net) and its weight. -

Page 23: System Trouble Shooting
VII. SYSTEM TROUBLE SHOOTING The Air-Weigh LoadMaxx Tractor Scale system is extremely self- sufficient. To operate correctly, power and ground are the only tractor electrical connections needed. Ensure all connectors (male/female) make a good connection and at least 9.5 volts is entering the system. When troubleshooting, initially check for power at the connecting plugs. -
Page 24: Vii.a. Incorrect Weight Readings
VII.A. INCORRECT WEIGHT READINGS If both empty and heavy weights are always off by the same amount, see the subsection ADJUST WEIGHTS in the CALIBRATION section, above. If weights are otherwise incorrect, including 0 (zero) or unstable, ensure that the sensor is connected to the Truck ComLink or Trailer Scale correctly. -
Page 25: Maintenance
VIII. MAINTENANCE Scale Display: The Air-Weigh electronic scale display should be maintenance-free under normal operation. Keep the scale in a protected environment and treat as any electronic component. Gently use a clean, soft cloth, slightly damp with water, to wipe away dust from the display. -
