3.2.1 Tips for best results when weighing
Maximum function and accuracy is achieved by avoiding substantial
deviations from the usual work cycle, while at the same time noting the
following points:
x The LOADTRONIC 3 is activated/made ready for weighing 2 seconds
after the gear selector has been moved into reverse. During this time the
bucket should be pulled out from the material heap so that no friction
forces between the heap and the bucket will affect the weighing result.
This particularly applies if the bucket has been raised fairly high while
filling it.
x The lifting arms must be moving upward to initiate the weighing.
x If it should happen that the LOADTRONIC 3 does not become activated /
begin weighing, it is possible to activate manual weighing by pressing #,
refer chapter 3.4.
x The bucket must be tilted rearward to its end-stop when weighing,
otherwise the message ‘BUCKET’ will appear on the display.
x The lifting arms must be lifted into the measurement area, refer Figure
3-1.
x The lifting arms must not touch against the front frame or the machine
body when the weighing begins. This could cause false readings. This
means that:
o It is possible to control at which point in the work cycle the
weighing should be done by awaiting raising the lifting arms until
the machine has reached a suitable destination.
o When loading, transporting and dumping the load at a low height,
e.g. down a slope, it is necessary to raise the bucket before
emptying it to allow weighing to take place.
x When weighing on ground which is inclined more than 5 %, it is
recommended that weighing should be avoided at low lifting angles
particularly when the machine is pointing downhill. The system will only
weigh when the tilt is less than 10 %.
x If the operator wants to weigh the load under controlled conditions, he can
cancel the current weight and re-weigh the load, refer chapter 3.7 and 3.9.
If the bucket has been emptied, the cancel function must be used. At
manual activation a new weighing sequence starts immediately. When
canceling before dumping, the system must also be activated for a
