2.3. ACCURATE WEIGHING
For maximum accuracy, ensure that:
Check Zero is performed regularly.
Load lifting motion is steady and smooth, with no acceleration or bounce.
The bucket is fully rolled back during the lift.
The loader is on level ground.
2.3.1. Obtaining the Best Weighing Results
Lifting speed
For best results, operate the lift lever before accelerating the engine so that the machine does not rock as it lifts, i.e. use normal
revs.
Trigger Point
Start the lift well below the Trigger Point. This ensures that all acceleration and load bounce has been eliminated well before the
weighing sequence begins.
NOTE: We recommend that there are at least two seconds of lift before the Trigger Point.
Bounce
Most loaders have pneumatic tires which can cause the machine to bounce when lifting.
To minimize the effect of bounce, always operate the lift lever before accelerating the engine and start the lift well below the
trigger point.
Center of gravity
The hydraulic pressure in the lifting cylinders depends on where the center of gravity of the load is. It is important that the bucket
is always in the same position: fully rolled back.
2.3.2. Legal for Trade Systems
Loadrite systems meet Legal for Trade requirements in certain countries. This enables material to be weighed
and sold directly from the loader.
For more information or to enquire if Legal for Trade is available in your country, contact your Loadrite
distributor.
