1.0 Introduction The Multiple Animal Scale Portable (MAS-P) system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using the latest technology to provide operating features and reliability unmatched for years to come. Please take the time to read this manual completely through before attempting to use the system. Although the MAS-P has been designed for easy set up and use, a thorough understanding of this manual will ensure that you receive the maximum benefit from the system.
1.2 Safety Safety Symbol Definitions: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided could result in death or serious injury, and WARNING includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided may result in minor or moderate injury.

1.3 Unloading Follow instructions below to unload the scale. 1.3.1 Slinging the scale. MAS-P can be slung with four equal length straps connected from the lifting lugs to a single point in the center. • Strap length 8 x 13 = 7 ft minimum • Strap length 8 x 18 = 10 ft minimum 11 T EE 9F FEE T Figure 1-4. Slinging the Scale 1.3.2 Lift the Scale 1. If stacked, monitor the four corners directly below the lifting fixtures.
1.4 Lifting Assembled Scale Lift the scale only in designated locations (see Figure 1-7). The scale can be lifted by four straps and a crane or loader. Ensure the scale is in the transport mode (locked down – see Section 2.3 on page 8) when loading and transporting the scale. Install lifting fixtures to the four inside corners, see in Figure 1-6. Install cable hooks at each lifting fixture to lift scale. Figure 1-7. Lift Points 1.5 Package Removal The indicator is shrink wrapped for transportation.
2.0 Installation As with any weighing equipment, the accuracy of the scale is dependent on the installation. The following points must be adhered to when installing the MAS-P Animal Scale. In all installations, the scale must be level to ensure proper operation. All MAS-P Animal Scales are equipped with a bubble level (located on top the base frame – see Figure 2-1). Ensure the bubble is fully inside the circle marked on the top of the level. 2.
2.3 Switching Modes 2.3.1 Convert to Weigh Mode 1. Place the scale in as level a location as possible. Ensure there are no obstructions under the deck that would affect weighing accuracy. Check the bubble level. Use shims or timbers to ensure the scale is as close to level as possible. Note The scale will weigh properly on any firm surface up to 7% grade (4-degree slope). 2. Inspect all four corners of the scale.
2.4 Cage Wall Assembly 2.4.1 Apply the silicone bead Before installing the walls, a silicone bead must be added. 1. Clean the upper flange of the floor and the lower wall flange with mineral spirits. 2. Apply a 1/8'' bead of silicone along the upper edge of the floor panel along the entire length as shown in Figure 2-3. Wall Insert Silicone Figure 2-3. Silicon Bead 2.4.2 Install walls WARNING Wall installation should be done with two people or an overhead crane. 1.
2.4.3 Install the Gate Note Install the gate with the hinge bolts on the opposite side of the scale. Hinge bolts must be assembled with lock washer on the inside of gate and the jam nut on the outside. Install Spring Pins after gate is in place. Spring Pin Cage Wall Nylon washer Hook Bolt Gate Jam nut Nut and washer Washer Figure 2-4. Assemble Gate to Scale 1. Install jam nut and lock washer onto the hinge bolts. Screw the nut on about 2”. 2.
2.5 Gate and Latch Adjustment Procedure Note Assemble gates according to the following criteria: • • • Hinge Bolts - Assemble with lock washer on inside of gate and jam nut on the outside. Hinge Side Gap - Approximately 3” between the gate and the corner post. Gate Latch Pin - Install rubber tubing on the latch pin (Mobile units only). Adjust gates as follows: 1. Adjust the hinge bolts to align the top of the gate on the latch side with the top of the cage wall. 2.
Battery Box Connections For use with the optional battery box, PN 153765. 1. Connect the scale cable and secure with a cable tie. 2. Connect the power wires as shown in Figure 2-7. 3. Replace the battery cover. Fus e Red RT Black LT 12V TL BRK GND Blue See Figure 2-8 for more wiring details. Chassis Figure 2-7.
