Failure to comply with this policy voids all implied and/or written warranties. 2.1.1.
Section 2: General Policies 2.1.2. Equipment Location Position the equipment with these points in mind: • Intense direct sunlight can harm the display. • Work areas should be relatively free from drafts and vibrations. • Do not locate near magnetic material or equipment/instruments which use magnets in their design. • Avoid areas which have extreme variations in room temperatures. Temperatures outside the instrument’s specifications will affect the weighing accuracy of this product. 2.1.3.
Section 2: General Policies 11. Do not use the weighing system in potentially explosive areas. 12. Do not carry passengers with the truck. 13. Do not weld or make changes to the weighing system without consulting the Fairbanks Scales. 14. Do not lift unstable loads. 15. Check the accuracy of the scale on a regular basis to prevent faulty readings. 16. Only trained and authorized personnel are allowed to operate the truck. 17.
Section 3: Installation 3.1. SYSTEM SET UP Installation of pump handle Make sure the lever is pushed down to the “pump” position. Thread the chain through the hole in the triangle and through the hole in the axle. Place the handle bar onto the triangle and insert the bolts. Push the silver part “A” on the outside of the pump downwards. Tighten the bolts firmly. At the same time; insert the chain into the open side of the slot “B” on the inside of the pump. 05/12 12 51285 Rev.
Section 3: Installation 3.2. INSTALLING THE BATTERIES The power supply to the system takes place through 4 AA batteries. When used normally, the batteries will last for about 1 year. When the voltage level of the batteries is running low, the display will show “LO-BA“. When the batteries are completely discharged, the weighing system shuts down.
Section 4: Operation 4.1. PROPER OPERATION The following describes the proper manner of operating the Pallet Weigh pallet jack scale. For accurate weights, do not weigh on a grade greater than 2 degrees. Use the pallet jack scale on a smooth surface. Irregular surfaces may cause damage the scale and inaccurate weights. Do not load the scale greater than the rated capacity otherwise the scale can be damaged. Do not lift loads by the end of the forks only as this could damage the scale weighing mechanisms.
Section 4: Operation 4.3. FRONT KEYS AND INDICATIONS Key Function On/ Off Power Switch. This also serves as an escape switch during data entry or programming. This key also functions as a Units key if pressed for two (2) seconds). Zero Key. Zeroes the scale. This key also functions as a Select Digit key and allows the user to select the flashing digit. Tare Switch. Allows a manual entry of a tare weight. This key also functions as a Scroll Down key. Summation Button.
Section 4: Operation 4.4. OPERATING THE SCALE 4.4.1. Power-Up the Scale 1. Press the key for two (2) seconds. 2. The display will indicate a power up cycle: All segments on / software revision [P7.5]/ audit trail nr.[xxxxx] 3. After the power-up cycle, the scale display will display the weight that is present on the scale. 4.4.2. Zeroing the Scale 1. If the scale does not indicate a zero, press the key to zero the scale. 2. The scale will indicate zero and is ready to perform weighments. 4.4.3.
Section 4: Operation 4.4.5. Summation Operation Summing Loads 1. Load the scale. 2. Press the key to begin the summation operation. 3. The display will begin flashing a memory number, --01-, and store the weight. 4. Unload the scale. 5. Load the scale again. 6. Press the key to add the weight to the first weighment. 7. The display will begin flashing a memory number, --02-, and store the new weight and indicate the summed weight on the display. 8.
Section 5: Service and Maintenance 5.1. CLEANING • Wipe the scale assembly with a damp cloth using water only. ─ Do not spray cleaners onto scale indicator. ─ Do not wash-down with a pressure cleaner or water hose. ─ Do not allow water or liquids to drip onto scale indicator. 5.2.
