12.3 Inaccurate Weight Readings

First: Visually Inspect The Scale System for apparent problems and improper

installation:

1. Check each cable, from source to indicator, for stress, cuts, breaks, or

abrasions.

2. Unplug and reconnect each connector at the indicator to verify that it is tight

and making good contact.

3. Check the hitch Weigh Bar

and verify that mounting bolts are tight and the

hitch is not binding.

4. Check between the wheels and frame of the implement for mud and debris

that might restrict Weigh Bar

movement.

5. Check betwccn supporting structure and weighing structure for debris that

might restrict Weigh Bar

movement.

6. Make sure the supporting structure and weighing structure do not touch each

other at any point except at the Weigh Bars

Next: Compare Weight Readings for All Weigh Bars

Position a person or heavy object on the platform above each Weigh Bar

, one bar at

a time, and compare weight readings for the same person or same object.

For each weighing, the weight itself will be off-center, favoring a single Weigh Bar

;

therefore, none of the readings will be accurate.

However, your readings obtained by weighing the same person or object above each

Weigh Bar

should be nearly identical to each other. A single Weigh Bar

reading that

is significantly different from the others is probably defective.
