Before installing the WLS-C Wheel Loader Scale,
take the following measures to ensure your safety:
Protective Gear
Always wear safety goggles, as required by safety
conditions, when welding or grinding.
Never wear loose clothing or jewelry, which may get
caught in the machine.
Hydraulic Parts
Discharge all pressure from the hydraulic circuit
before disconnecting or removing any plumbing,
connector, or relative component. Always make
certain that all moving parts have been locked and
check for any residual pressure when disconnecting
any hydraulic plumbing.
Always let the bucket or other similar parts down to
ground-level before carrying out any work on the
machine. If this cannot be done, make sure that bucket
i s l o c k e d s o i t c a n n o t c o m e s u d d e n l y a n d
unexpectedly down.
Damaged or detached fuel and lubricant lines can
cause fire. Never bend or strike high pressure lines,
nor put damaged or twisted ones back on. Always
check pipes and ducts.
Repairs
Detach the battery and let any remaining charge out
before carrying out any work on the vehicle.
If possible, have the vehicle brought into a shed or
onto a hard, clean floor.

Installation
When installing the components, use the appropriate brackets supplied. These can be mounted inside the cab
onto the cab structure. It is recommended that you consult the machine’s operator to ensure the indicator is
mounted in a convenient location based on their needs. Make sure the components do not restrict the operator’s
vision or interfere with bodily movements.
On forklift trucks, the unit is mounted directly under the roof. You will need to make threaded holes in the frame.
Do not attach the brackets to the dashboard or other non-metallic surface. Prior to altering the
cab structure, customer approval should be attained due to EROPS and ROPS certifications.
