TOWING
IMPORTANT! THE SCALE MUST BE IN TRANSPORT MODE BEFORE TOWING.
The scale is designed to be towed level (frame parallel to the ground) using a 2'' ball. To achieve
the level towing condition, the required hitch height of the towing vehicle must be approximately
16''. If the hitch of the towing vehicle is not in this range, use an adapter to achieve a height in
this range. The hitch weight of the scale is approximately 500 lb. An equalizer hitch may be used
for towing if desired.
Safety chains must be connected
during towing. Cross the chains
under the hitch for proper protection.
Safety chain length is adjustable by
inserting the quick link through any
link of the chain.
The scale must be connected
electrically to the tow vehicle. Ensure
the wiring of the towing vehicle is
compatible with the scale wiring
before hooking up.
If the scale is to be towed at night, or if the lights on the tow vehicle are obstructed by the scale,
add on lights are available. These lights plug into a 4-pin receptacle located on the rear of the
battery box and attach magnetically to the scale frame. Contact Cardinal Scale Sales or Parts
Department for more information.
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.
