SAFETY Safety Symbol Definitions DANGER! Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING! Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided could result in serious injury or death, and 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.
WARNING! The Cardinal Mobile Livestock Scale is not a trailer and is not intended for the transportation of livestock or any other goods. The weighing platform must be empty when the scale is towed. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious injury to livestock and/or premature component failure and will void the warranty. Animal Safety Animal safety is a very serious issue and must be observed when handling any type of animal.
UNLOADING Slinging the Scale. The Cardinal Mobile Livestock Scale can be slung using four straps connected from the lifting lugs to a single point in the center. To obtain a lifting point closer to the center of gravity, straps should be one to two 2 feet longer on the rear of the scale. Strap length 8 x 13 = 6 ft. minimum Strap length 8 x 18 = 9 ft. minimum Lifting the Scale. 1. Lift the scale only in designated locations. The scale may be lifted by four straps and a crane or loader.
TOWING WARNING! The Cardinal Mobile Livestock Scale is not a trailer and is not intended for the transportation of livestock or any other goods. The weighing platform must be empty when the scale is towed. The scale is classified as a farm implement and therefore should be limited to a maximum speed of 35 MPH when towing. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious injury to livestock and/or premature component failure and will void the warranty.
WEIGH MODE SETUP Use the following instructions to convert the scale from Transport mode to Weigh mode. 1. Park the scale on a level location as possible. Ensure there are no obstructions or debris under the scale that would affect weighing accuracy. NOTE: The scale will weigh properly on up to a 5% tilt angle. 2. On each axle, remove the retaining clip securing the safety pin on the shock suspension stops and store the retaining clip in the end of the pin as shown. 3.
6. Using the hitch jack, lower the scale hitch to the ground. 7. Ensure the dump valve located on the battery box is closed and open all valves located directly above the air bags. 8. Slowly open the dump valve to empty the air from the scale suspension. 9. The scale will lower to the ground.
10. Turn the power switch, located in the weigh center, to the ON position. 11. If the scale is not level, the indicator will display dashes and NO WEIGHT along with the out-of-tolerance angle measurements (Pitch and Roll) as a percentage. Pitch refers to the scale’s rotation front to back and Roll refers to the scale’s motion side to side (front to back from indicator’s perspective). Using shims may level the scale.
14. Place shims directly under the base frame and under the load cell stands to level the scale. 15. Open the dump valves to lower the scale onto the ground and shims. 16. Remove the safety pin holding the tongue arms together. 17. Swing both tongue arms so they are clear of the scale (at approximately 90 from scale).
18. Using both hands, securely grip the cam handle and rotate it in towards the center of the scale to raise the platform and enable the scale. Repeat for each corner of the scale. NOTE: The Cam levers point OUT away from the center of scale (and each other) in the Transport mode and IN towards the center of scale (and each other) in the Weigh mode. Refer to the decals on each load cell tower cover for direction of levers in each mode. WARNING! The lift mechanism is an over center cam style lift and lock.
INSTALLING GATHERING PANELS 1. On the corner of the scale frame, locate the opening for the gathering panel. 2. Insert the tube from the gathering panel into the frame opening. 3. Position the gathering panel at the desired angle away from the scale. Note that the gate will only open slightly past 90 degrees from the cage.
CAUTION! Gathering panels must be removed from the scale during transport. The scale is not a trailer and is not intended for the transportation of livestock or any other goods. The weighing platform must be empty when the scale is towed. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious injury to livestock and/or premature component failure and will void the warranty.
