3.0 Maintenance
This section provides details to properly maintain the ELS Series weigh stands.
3.1 Periodic Maintenance
The space beneath the weigh stands must be periodically cleaned to prevent debris buildup.
Do not attempt to use scales with non-hermetically sealed load cells in washdown applications. Water damage
is a common cause of failure in non-hermetically sealed load cells.
Use care with high pressure steam washdowns for hermetically-sealed load cells. Steam will not damage the
load cells, but the elevated temperatures may cause incorrect readings until the unit cools to room temperature.
3.1.1 Load Cell Bearing Lubrication
There is a hole located on the bearing block in the load cell assembly that leads to a bearing that allows for movement of the
assembly. The bearing needs to be lubricated periodically in order to maintain proper movement and weighing of the load cell
assembly. To lubricate the load cell bearing:
1. Remove the load cell guard plate.
2. Apply liquid lubricant into the maintenance screw.

3. Re-install the load cell guard plate ( Section 2.10 on page 13 ).
4. Repeat steps for each load cell.
