12. Both ends of the damaged load cell should now be
loose. To remove the load cell cable, all you need to
do is cut the zip ties holding the cable in place. We
recommend taking pictures of the wiring so that you
can duplicate it later.
13. Remove the damaged load cell body and the
attached load cell cable. You will then need to use
the 17/32'' wrench to detach the ball cup holder
from the load cell. See
Figure 72 .
14. Screw the new load cell and ball cup holder
together.
15. Bolt the new load cell body loosely into place. You
will tighten it in a later step.
16. Route the new load cell cable, using the same route
observed in an earlier step.
17. Use zip ties to secure the load cell cable in place.
18. Use the metal attachments and attach them to the
new load cell cable. Refer to Figure 68 and
Figure 69 .
19. Route the new load cell cable into the load cell
summing box and secure it using the nut from step
7.
20. Reconnect the load cell connection wires. Refer to
Figure 66 .
21. Replace the ball in the ball cup holder.
22. Replace the glass platform.
23. Completely tighten the bolts that hold the load cell
in place.
24. Power the Cubiscan 325 on.
25. When you have finished replacing the load cell you
