Load Cell Replacement
If a load cell should need replaced, verify the part number with the spare parts list in
this manual. Replacement cells should be of the same capacity of the cell that is being
replaced.
Lift the scale’s cover platter exposing the spider assembly and load cell. Unbolt the
spider from the load cell, and then the load cell from the base. For Weigh Buggy
portable hopper scales, use of a jib crane or fork lift will be required to remover the
hopper assembly.
Disconnect the wire leads from the indicator or the summing board in the case of two
load cells in a Weigh Buggy.
Prior to bolting the new load cell in place, route the cable back through the scale
and reconnect the wire leads to the indicator or the summing board.
Torque the mounting bolts per the following chart:

Recalibrate scale per the previous instructions in this manual and per the indicator’s
manual.
