1. Properly ground yourself (see page 9).

3. Using wire cutters, cut the cable ties holding the load cell cable to the litter frame at the head end of the

head end lift header bracket.
4. Disconnect the load cell from the cable (labeled head/right and head/left) on the side where the defective
load cell is located.
5. Using a 7/32” Allen wrench and a 9/16” socket and ratchet, remove the two hex head cap screws and
nuts holding the jack support bracket to the litter frame. Note the orientation of the tab on the jack support
bracket so it will be reinstalled properly.
6. Using a 7/32” Allen wrench and a 9/16” socket and ratchet, remove the two bolts holding the load cell

NOTE
Do not compress the cable when installing the new cable ties.
