Installing a loadcell to a tank leg (EDG-122 & 123)

A loadcell must be installed to each tank leg for an accurate reading.

1. If holes do not exist for the loadcell leg mount (5), field drill three 7/16 in. holes, (A), (B), and (C)

from the bottom of the leg.

2. Remove the hardware from the leg anchor plates (20 and 21) at the bottom of the tank leg (9).

NOTE:

Once the tank is lifted and the weight of the tank is off of the anchor plates, you can remove
them.

3. Install the loadcell leg mount (5) and loadcell back brace (8) to the tank leg (9) using two bolts (10)

and nuts (11).

IMPORTANT:

Make sure the back brace is fully tightened against the tank leg so that the weight of

the tank is supported by the plate and leg mount and not by the bolt threads.

4. Install the bottom bolt using existing 3/8 hardware.

5. After the tank has been lifted install the top bolt and nut (10 & 11).

NOTE:

Top bolt will interfere with the loadcell leg mount (5) until the tank has been lifted.
