that hold the cable shields in place. See Figure 10.5.

11. Loosen the jam nuts. Jam nuts are torqued to 500 ft/lbs so removal requires
extra force and caution. Use a 3/4" or 1" drive socket. The weight of the pallet
on the forks will allow you to loosen the nuts without excess movement of the
carriage.
12. Once the jam nuts are loosened, place the carriage back on the forklift,
remove the wedges under the forks and remove the pallet from the forks.
13. Remove the forks and lower the scale carriage onto the edge of a sturdy pallet
and back the forklift away.
14. With assistance from other people or a hoist, lower the scale onto its front face
on the pallet.
15. Remove the jam nuts and the hardened washers from the Weigh Bars.
16. With assistance from other people or a hoist, remove the rear carriage plate
from the front carriage plate, being careful not to damage the Weigh Bar
cables.
17. Clip and remove the cable ties securing the cable leading from the Weigh Bar
being replace.
18. Use a 3/8 Allen wrench and socket driver to remove the Weigh Bar bolts from
the Weigh Bar being replaced and discard the bolts.
19. Remove the Weigh Bar.
Step 8 is very important. Do not attempt to separate the two halves of the scale
without removing the two screws indicated in Figure 10.5. Damage will result.
