Section 5: Maintenance
Scale Maintenance
1. Check for accumulations of solid material under the scale which may affect the
accuracy (ice, frozen mud, debris).
2. Check to see that the customer has cleaned under the platform regularly.
3. Inspect load cells for damage to the ends/cables; check cups and “O” rings for
damage.
4. The load cell bearing cups should be inspected, cleaned, and greased periodically.
5. Inspect and adjust all check bolts using anti-seize on the threads.
Mechanical Faults
1. Check for all clearances around the scale for any obstructions or interference with
the free movement of the platform.
2. Check all check bolt clearances both with and without a concentrated load over
each section, one at a time.
3. Check all load cells for plumb and level.
4. Inspect the boxes for leaks; the interior should be clean and dry. If there is
moisture inside, clean and dry it thoroughly. Check all connections at the
terminal blocks to ensure they are tight.
