6 Weighing system
The weighing system is designed to be simple to operate, accurate and robust. It consists of
four load cells connected to a weigh box unit (a readout box) at the front of the machine. The
system uses 12-volt DC power from the tractor, or a battery, if fitted. The weigh box unit can
be rotated for visibility during loading and from the tractor cab, but it should be folded out of the
line of the tractor wheel for road work. Loads are displayed in kilograms or pounds, with scale
increments of 5 kg/10 lbs. The unit is capable of measuring up to 18,140 kg (39,999 lbs) with
the appropriate weight bars. The system is maintenance-free, as it is fully electronic, with no
moving parts. All components are sealed against moisture and dust and are resistant to frost
and corrosion. The unit should not, however, be directly exposed to a high-pressure water jet.
The weigh box unit may vary from model to model and region to region. A separate manual is
supplied for your weigh box unit, which you should refer to for specific operating instructions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC READOUT BOX ARE CONTAINED IN A
SEPARATE MANUAL.
