The following steps are suggested and are
illustrated:
1. Pull onto the scale so that only the
front axle is on the platform (with the
end of the scale midway between the
front and rear axles), and record the
scaled weight.
2. Pull forward until the full unit is
on the scale, and record the scaled
weight.
3. Pull forward so that only the rear axle
is on the scale (again with the edge of
the scale midway between the front
and rear axles), and record the scaled
weight.
To determine individual wheel position
weights, it is necessary to repeat the first three
steps, but this time, use only one side of the
scale as shown.
To calculate the opposite side of the vehicle
wheel position weight, subtract this side’s
weights from the weights recorded in steps 1,
2 and 3. If there is a towed vehicle, proceed
to step 4 to obtain the “towed vehicle only”
weight.
4. If a boat, trailer or other vehicle is
being towed, it should be weighed
and combined with the towing
vehicle’s GVW (Gross Vehicle
Weight) to ensure the total weight
does not exceed the GCWR (Gross
Combined Weight Rating).
WARNING:
Improperly inflated or overloaded tires
can cause a blowout. An overloaded
axle can cause a component failure of
the suspension system. Tire blowout
or broken suspension components can
lead to loss of vehicle control resulting
in property damage, personal injury
or death.
CAUTION:
Even though the weight of the total
axle may be within the axle’s rating,
it may be overloaded on one side.
This causes one wheel position to be
overloaded; therefore, side-to-side
weighing is required.

CAUTION:
Refer to the tire load
inflation table published
by the tire manufacturer
to determine the proper
inflation pressures
recommended for single
and dual wheel positions.
Always inflate each axle
set to the tire with the
higher of the side-to-side
weight.
