1780-M057-O1 Rev C Hydraulic Floor Stand Tank/Hopper
IMPORTANT! It should be noted that a load should NEVER be applied to a load cell
unless the circuit for that cell is sealed and the cell has the correct amount of oil in it.
Placing a load on a load cell with no oil, or the incorrect level of oil in it can damage
the pressure diaphragm in the cell.
INSTALLATION, CONT.
Gauging SST Hydraulic Load Cells
Filling and bleeding the system is a very simple procedure. Begin by filling the pressure pump
with oil and attaching it to the inlet port located on the outside, bottom right side of the totalizer
enclosure. This pump is used to push oil through the system for bleeding purposes.
1. Next, remove the plastic gauge port plugs from load cell number one and place a .026 inch
thick shim in each of the three gauge ports.
2. Place a container under the tube at the load cell to catch oil as air is purged from the line.
