3.0 Installation

The following points help ensure proper installation of the Farm Bars. If further assistance is required, please contact the

nearest factory or dealer.

IMPORTANT: When planning an outdoor location for the Farm Bars, choose a site which will allow for adequate drainage

away from the scale. Immersing the load cells in water can damage the load cells and void the warranty.

• Install the Farm Bars on a firm, level surface. The Farm Bars do not have to be installed perfectly level, but a substantial

slope decreases accuracy. All weight transfer must take place through the pads at the end of each Farm Bar. Ensure

there is no contact between the ground and the center of the load bar.

• Install the Farm Bars in the upright position. This allows for accurate weighing and help keeps any foreign material out of

the Farm Bars.

• Do not drill into or weld onto the Farm Bars as this may cause internal structural or electrical damage. Secure the Farm

Bars to the weighing platform using the mounting lugs supplied.

• Install the cable so that it is not stepped on or run over. Cable failure due to physical damage is not covered under

warranty.

• When constructing the weighing platform, ensure excessive sagging does not occur. This may cause inaccuracies in

weighing and could damage the cable.
