Installation - Tru-Test HD Serie Manual De Usuario

Installation

The crate, crush or squeeze chute must have mounting holes to match the load bars.
The 'hoof' width (width on which the animal can stand) of the crate, crush, squeeze chute must be no wider
than the length of the load bars.
The load bars should be mounted as near to the ends of the crate, crush or squeeze chute as practical (within
200 mm (8")).
For 1010 mm (39") load bars it is important that the crate, crush, or squeeze chute load is applied to the load
bar through two points at a minimum of 600 mm (24") apart, and that the crate, crush or squeeze chute is
placed centrally on the load bars.
It is recommended that HD series load bars are anchored (bolted to the foundation).
The installation instructions given below should be followed carefully to ensure trouble free weighing. See Care
and maintenance on page 5.
Caution!
- Do NOT weld any installation attached to the load bars. The load bars contain calibrated electronic circuitry
that is easily damaged by stray currents and voltages induced by welding.
- The total weight of the platform or crate must rest upon the load bars. If the load bars are not supporting the
full weight then inaccurate and inconsistent readings will result. Ensure that the load bars and platform or
crate are clear of any obstruction, and that the installation is level.
- Choose a location for the load bars that drains well and can be easily cleaned. Although the load bars are
coated to prevent corrosion, prolonged exposure to moisture or manure will reduce the life of the load bars.
