Safety

Always disconnect the vehicle battery while installing SkidWeigh system or any other electronic product.                   
Make sure sure that unit, pressure transducer and any other associated cables are securely mounted and do not impede 
any of the vehicle’s controls. Use care when routing the components cables. Route the cables where they will be 
protected. Use commonly accepted install practices for after market industrial vehicle electronic devices.                      
The installation of the SkidWeigh systems should only be performed by an acknowledged lift truck dealer technician or 
end user electro and hydraulic technical installer.                                                                                                                                                                          
Here are two acceptable methods of making a wire connections:                                                                                            
* Soldering your connections (recommended)                                                                                                                     
* Crimp connectors ( with the use of the proper crimping tool)                                                                               
Regardless of the method you choose, ensure that the connection is mechanically sound and properly insulated. Use 
high quality electrical tape and shrink tubing where necessary.

This product is connected directly to the vehicle’s ignition switch, 12 to 55 V DC. There is no on-off switch on the unit.

Electro-Magnetic Compatibility

CE conformity to EC directive 89/336 (EMC) by application of harmonized standards: Interference stability EN 61000-6-2 
and EN 61326-1 interference emit EN 61000-6-3, EN 61326-1 for the pressure transducer.
