Adjusting for Corner Variation
The following steps should be followed to correct for any corner variation in the
system:
1.
Install the loadbars and attach the platform as outlined in the section Install
the Loadbars (p 4). The loadbars and platform must be securely fastened
before proceeding.
Note: It is important to have the rubber adjustment covers facing outward
from the platform so that they can be easily accessed once installed.
2.
Connect the loadbars to the weigh scale indicator and power on the scale in
'Manual' (M) or 'Fine' (F) mode, so that the weight on the platform is
displayed. Zero the scale if required.
3.
It is recommended to use a test weight of at least 1,000kg. Apply the test
weight to each corner of the platform, recording the weight displayed on
the scale for each corner.
4.
Should there be variation in the weight displayed from corner to corner,
note which corner(s) displayed the lowest weight and what this weight value
is. This will be used as a reference when adjusting the remaining corners.
5.
Remove the rubber adjustment covers for any corners requiring adjustment.
6.
Reapply the test weight to one of the corners which displayed a weight
heavier than that identified in step 4 (if any).
7.
Using a fine flat‐tipped screwdriver, rotate the adjustment screw clockwise
to lower the output weight, while noting the weight displayed on the scale.
Continue to adjust the output of the corner until the weight displayed
matches the lowest corner weight identified in step 4.
8.
Remove the test weight from the corner, and zero the scale if required.
9.
Re‐apply the test weight to the same corner and continue to adjust if
necessary.
10. Repeat steps 8 & 9 until the corner is repeatedly displaying the correct
weight.
11. Repeat steps 6 to 10 for any other corners which were weighing more than
the lowest corner weight identified in step 4.
