Mounting the Scale
There are three ways you can mount the trailer scale:
• Flush mounted to the trailer frame itself
• Using a Van bracket
• Using a Frame Rail bracket

Choose the mounting method that will work the best for your trailer
conguration. Air-Weigh recommends that you mount it on the
driver’s side, 10 feet ahead of the front axle. Mount the trailer
scale in a position that is easy to view and is protected from direct
tire spray and road debris. In regions where severe weather is a
consideration, contact Air-Weigh for more information on protective
enclosures.
Note: When choosing a location to mount the scale display, rst
consider the length of cables in your scale kit. Make sure there is
enough length in your power and sensor cables to run from where
you are mounting the display to where you are connecting to power
and installing the brackets and deection sensors.
Note about cables: Do not place strain on the cables. If there is a
sharp bend in the wires, the environmental seal could fail, allowing
water to damage the scale. If the scale is disconnected from the
trailer, the power cable and air line will not support the weight of the
scale.
