1. Properly ground yourself (see page 20).
2. Pump the litter up to full height. Raise the Fowler to full up.
3. Using wire cutters, cut the cable ties holding the load cell cable to the litter frame at the head end of the
stretcher, on the side where the defective load cell is located. Cut the cable ties holding the cable to 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. Support the end of the stretcher so it won’t fall when the load cell is removed.
6. Using a 7/32” Allen wrench and 9/16” socket and ratchet, remove the two nuts and bolts holding the load
cell to the lift header bracket. Save the nuts and bolts for reuse.
7. If the load cell cannot be worked free, remove the bolt from the jack cross support tube and lift the cross
support off the jack. The load cell should be easily removed.
8. Remove the bushing from the load cell and save for reuse.

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