CHAPTER 3  MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES 

3.1   PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 

Ohaus Bases should be carefully handled, stored in a clean, dry area, and cleaned periodically.  
Follow these precautionary steps: 

–  When a base has had chemicals or liquids spilled on it, all exterior surfaces should be 

cleaned as soon as possible with warm water on a damp cloth. 

–  Do not leave a mass on the base when it is not in use. 

–  Allow time for the base to stabilize after moving it from an area which is at a different 

temperature than the area where it is to be operated.  Allow one hour for each 5°F 
(2.7°C) temperature change before using the scale.   

3.1.1   Preventive Maintenance Checklist 

The base should be inspected and checked regularly, as follows: 

1.  Clean the base. 

2.  Remove the Platform to inspect and clean the area beneath the Platform. 

CAUTION 

DO NOT USE CHEMICAL CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS OF ANY TYPE.   
SOME CLEANERS ARE ABRASIVE AND MAY AFFECT THE BASE’S FINISH. 

3.  Check the Load Cell cable for broken or damaged insulation. 

4.  Make a visual inspection as detailed in Chapter 2. 

3.2   Replacing the Load Cell 

A Load Cell that is even slightly bent or corroded should be replaced.  The Load Cell may also 
need to be replaced because of instability, or because the scale does not calibrate or repeat, or 
because it is physically broken. 

1.  Remove the scale Platform and 

disconnect the Base from the Indicator. 

2.  Remove the four Load Cell Mounting 

Bolts and washers that secure the Top 
Frame to the Load Cell. 

3.  Set the Top Frame and the Load Cell 

Spacer aside.

the Top Frame to the Load Cell.
