8 Service, maintenance, disposal
8.1 Cleaning
Please do not use aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents), but a cloth
dampened with mild soap suds. Ensure that no liquid penetrates into the device and
wipe with a dry soft cloth.
8.2 Service, maintenance
The appliance may only be opened by trained service technicians who are authorized
by KERN.
The same maintenance guidelines apply to the chassis of the mobile weighing
system as those for simple manual pallet trucks. Experience has taught us that the
integrated weighing system continues to function even if the chassis was damaged
by overloading.
General rules:
ƒ As the steering wheels are mounted at the front, it is better to pull rather than
push the manual pallet truck.
ƒ If the lifting device is not used, the manual lever should be left in centre
position. This prolongs the life span of the seals.
ƒ To prevent damages to the electronic system and weighing cells it is
necessary that welding work on the entire weighing system is carried out
exclusively by technical specialists.
ƒ The bearings of the wheels (with the exception of polyurethane) as well as the
joints in the load roller section should be regularly cleaned and greased.
8.3 Disposal
Disposal of packaging and appliance must be carried out by operator according to
valid national or regional law of the location where the appliance is used.
