INSTALLING AN ELECTRONIC WEIGH SCALE SYSTEM
Installing the Weigh Bars to the Cross Beam Axle
1. Before separating the grain cart from the track system, be sure the grain cart hitch is lowered to the
ground with a forklift.
2. Position the forks of the forklift underneath the A-frame tubing directly behind the rear legs of the grain
cart. For greater stability, be sure the forks are spread out as wide as possible. The grain cart is secured
to the cross beam axle of the track system with eight 1” x 3” grade 5 bolts and lock nuts. Remove the 1” x
3” grade 5 bolts and slightly lift the grain cart off the cross beam axle. IMPORTANT: Be sure the grain
cart and forklift are secured and free from falling to prevent serious injury or death. Always
maintain a safe working environment. Never place yourself between the grain cart and the track
system.
3. There are four weigh bar sleeves located on the track Cross Beam Axle (two at each end, one on the
front and one on the rear of the axle). Slide one 2 7/8” weigh bar weldment into each sleeve and secure
using one 3/4” x 6” grade 5 bolt with lock nut. NOTE: Be sure the hitch weigh bar is secured in the
UP POSITION as indicated by the decal on the weigh bar. The weigh bar will not read correctly
unless the sensor is positioned correctly.
4. Attach the Track Mounting Plate to the opposite end of the each weigh bar using one 1” x 4 1/2” grade
5 bolt and lock nut.
5. Slowly lower the grain cart until the attaching plate on the grain cart A-frame meets the track mounting
plates on each of the four weigh bars and the holes are aligned. Secure the track mounting plates to the
grain cart using sixteen 1” x 3” grade 5 bolts and lock nuts.
Attaching the Hitch Weigh Bar
6. Remove the 1” x 4 1/2” grade 5 bolt and lock nut
that attaches the rear collar of the hitch assembly to
the 2 1/2” x 13 1/4” shaft. Remove the hitch and shaft
assembly from the front of the grain cart.
7. Remove the eight 3/4” x 3” grade 8 bolts from the
Hitch Spool Plate Support located on the front of the
A-Frame. Bolt the 2 7/8” Weigh Bar Weldment to the
threaded holes located on the rear of the A-Frame
using four 3/4” x 3” grade 8 bolts.
9. Reuse the 1” x 5 1/2” grade 5 bolt and locknut to
secure the hitch weigh bar to the 2 7/8” hitch. Before
installing the Hitch Weigh Bar, feed the wire through
the left side of the A-Frame tubing and exit the frame
through the grommet located directly behind the front
leg of the grain cart. Slide the rear of the Hitch Weigh
Bar through the 2 7/8” Weigh Bar Weldment and
secure using the 1” x 4 1/2” grade 5 bolt and locknut.
NOTE: Be sure the hitch weigh bar is secured in
the UP POSITION as indicated by the decal on the
weigh bar. The weigh bar will not read correctly
unless the sensor is positioned correctly.
