Remedy
Ensure that the crush/chute is not touching
objects that may alter the weights. Typical causes
are binding against fixed metalwork or build up
of dirt.
Check that the load bar feet are sitting evenly on
the ground.
Check that bolt holes are not misaligned, as this
may put a residual load on the load bars.
Moisture in the load bar connectors. Remove
moisture from the plugs and caps using
methylated spirits, ethyl alcohol, or a suitable
electrical contact cleaner. Do not use stronger
spirits, as they may react with the plastic.
Damaged cable. Return the load bar for
servicing.
Moisture in load cells. Return the load bar for
servicing.
Damaged cable. Return for service.
