1.1 Overview
The LMM is an agricultural implement consisting of a scale with air ride suspension and swing out hitch, a sheeted animal cage suspended by four S-type load cells through a cam style on-board scale system, and weigh center. In transport mode the scale system is locked down, protecting the load cells from damage during transport. To convert to weigh mode the entire scale is lowered to the ground, the hitch is split and swung outward and the scale is raised to the weigh mode using a lever and cam system. The weigh center contains the digital instrument and ticket printer. To convert back to transport mode the process is reversed, see Section 3.0 on page 14 for more details.
The LMM can be used on any firm surface up to 6% grade (3° slope) and has a low deck height (6'') for easy step-in.

Fairbanks Mobile Multiple Animal Scale Section 2: Installation
Section 2: Installation
It is important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on the scale axle. Torque is a measure of the amount of tightening applied to a fastener (nut or bolt) and is expressed as length times force. Torque wrenches are the best method to assure the proper amount of torque is being applied.
Note
Wheel bolts/nuts must be tightened and maintained at the proper torque levels to prevent loose wheels, broken studs and possible dangerous separation of wheels from the axle. Be sure to use only the fasteners matched to the cone angle of the wheel (usually 60° or 90°).
The procedure for attaching the wheels is as follows:
1. Start all bolts/nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
Figure 2-1. Wheel Torque Pattern
Wheel Torque Sequence (ft-lb)
1st Stage
20-25
2nd Stage
50-60
Table 2-1. Wheel Torque
3rd Stage
90-120
2. Tighten bolts/nuts in the sequence shown in
.
3. Tighten fasteners per torque chart in
4. Once the wheel nuts have been torqued, use a white marker to mark the end of each stud to show they have been torqued.
IMPORTANT
Wheel bolts/nuts should be re-torqued after the first 10 miles, 25 miles and 50 miles.
2.1 Cage Wall Assembly
2.1.1 Apply Silicone Bead
Before installing the walls, a silicone bead must be added.

Section 3: Towing Instructions
WARNING
This unit is not intended for the transportation of livestock or any other goods. Any addition of weight to the scale in transport mode may cause premature component failure and voids the Fairbanks warranty.
Read these instructions before towing.
The scale must be in Transport Mode
to be towed. See Section 3.1.2 on page 17 for converting to transport mode.
The scale is designed to be towed level (frame parallel to the ground) using a 2'' ball. To achieve the level towing condition, the required hitch height of the towing vehicle must be approximately 16''. If the hitch of the towing vehicle is not in this range, use an adapter to achieve a height in this range. The hitch weight of the scale is approximately 500 lb. An equalizer hitch may be used for towing if desired (such as the EAZ-LIFT Adjustable Weight Distributing Hitch #1009).

Figure 3-1. Hitch Connection
Safety chains must be connected during towing. Cross the chains under the hitch for proper protection. Safety chain length is adjustable by inserting the quick link through any link of the chain.
The scale must be connected electrically to the tow vehicle. Ensure that the wiring of the towing vehicle is compatible with the scale wiring before hooking up. The label on the hitch illustrates the wiring. See Figure 2-9 on page 12 for wiring diagram. The scale is supplied with a 7-pin connector.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the wiring is correct so the battery (which supplies power to the control box) is charged during transport.
WARNING Improper wiring can cause brake failure.
If the scale is to be towed at night, or if the lights on the tow vehicle are obstructed by the scale, add-on lights are available.
These lights plug into a 6-pin receptacle located on the rear of the battery box and attach magnetically to the scale frame.
Contact Fairbanks Scales for more information .
WARNING
The scale is equipped with electric brakes. The brakes must be synchronized with the tow vehicle brakes before towing. See Section 5.3.2 on page 32 for procedures.
The breakaway switch for the electric brakes must be connected during towing. This switch activates the scale brakes in the unlikely event of scale separation from the tow vehicle. The metal cable must be attached to a point on the tow vehicle other than the primary connection point.
The scale is designed to be towed at a ride height of approximately eight inches. A ride height label is attached to every shock absorber to visually confirm the ride height. After the scale is hooked up to the tow vehicle, check all the ride height labels to ensure proper air bag inflation. Add or remove air as necessary.
Suspension stops (one on each axle of the scale) are supplied to prevent the scale from dropping to the ground in the event of an air system failure. These stops must be in the transport position during towing.

When in transport mode, rotate the suspension stop until the hand retractable plunger engages. To rotate back to weigh mode, pull the hand retractable plunger until the suspension stop is free from it.
WARNING
The Suspension Stops are not to be used as a means of transporting the scale. They are only to be used as a safety device, allowing removal of the scale from the roadway in the event of an air system failure.
3.1 Switching Modes
Use the following instructions to convert the scale into Weigh or Transport mode.
3.1.1 Converting to Weigh Mode
1. Park the scale in as level a location as possible. Ensure there are no obstructions under the deck that would affect weighing accuracy.
Note The scale will weigh properly on a slope up to 6% (approximately three degree slope).
2. Turn the power switch (located in the weighcenter) to the ON position.
3. If the scale is not level the instrument will display Out Of Level with the pitch and roll angle below, allowing the scale to be leveled.
4. With the drop leg retracted, extend the jack until it begins lifting up on the scale hitch.
5. Disconnect the scale from the truck hitch and unplug all wiring.
6. Move the truck clear of the scale.
7. Lower the scale hitch to the ground using the hitch jack.
8. Flip the suspension stops (on each axle of the scale) into the weigh mode. Scale will not fully lower to ground with stops in transport position .
9. Ensure the dump valve (located on the battery box) is closed and open all valves located directly above the air bags.
10. Slowly open the dump valve to empty the air from the scale suspension. The scale will lower to the ground.
11. Inspect all four corners of the scale. Although the scale will weigh properly up to three degrees off level, individual corners of the scale should not be allowed to teeter. If any of the corners are not contacting the ground, either move
the scale to a more level location or complete Step 12 on page 15
.
12. Close the dump valve and turn on the air pump to slightly raise the scale. Once the scale frame has lifted sufficiently, turn off the pump.
Note If the air pump is not functioning, the scale can be raised using the auxiliary fill directly below the dump valve.

10. Connect the scale to the truck and connect all wiring.
11. Connect safety chains.
12. Connect equalizer hitch if desired.
13. Retract the jack.
14. Recheck the ride height of the scale and adjust as indicated on the ride height labels on the shock absorbers (
Note
For Tandem Axle Scales:
Once the scale is connected to the tow vehicle and the ride height has been set, close the dump valve and then open the valves on the front and rear axle to allow the pressure to equalize. Repeat for each side of the scale. Close the valves before transporting the scale.
WARNING
Do not move the vehicle until the scale is in the locked transport position, all air valves are closed, the jack is retracted and the drop leg pin is installed, the suspension stops are in transport position, and the safety chains are attached.

Section 5: Maintenance
5.1 Maintenance Schedule
Before Each Use
Grease axle pivot locations with the provided grease zerks ( Figure 5-1
) using a Black Moly type grease.
First Week
Check torque on all wheel nuts ( Table 2-1 on page 7 ).
Weekly
1. Check entire scale for buildup of debris. Remove any debris found on, under or around the scale. Rubber T-belting at both ends of the scale are removable to make cleaning out easier. To remove T-belting, unhook the stretch cord that hooks into the corner tube of the cage.
2. Check for dirt and debris in the load cell stands and clean accordingly.
3. Check all external cables and conduit for damage.
First Month (in addition to weekly maintenance)
1. Check torque on all wheel nuts ( Table 2-1 on page 7 ).
2. Adjust scale brakes.
Monthly (in addition to weekly maintenance)
1. Charge scale battery if necessary.
2. Tire Pressure. 45 psi./40psi. - Single /Tandem Axle
3. Grease gate latch zerks (
) using a Black Moly type grease.
Yearly (in addition to weekly and monthly maintenance)
1. Check and grease wheel bearings ( Section 5.4.1 on page 33 ).
2. Disassemble each load cell location and grease all pins and eye bolts (
3. Adjust scale brakes ( Section 5.3.3 on page 32 ).

5.2 Scale Maintenance Procedures
5.2.1 Cleaning Load Cell Stands
IMPORTANT
Keep any excess debris from building up in the load cell stand.
Lift scale and block it up, then clean any dirt out of the load cell stands through the drain holes at the bottom of the stand.
5.2.2 Disassembly and Greasing
Greasing the scale is very important to ensure the long life of the unit. Use the parts list drawings for item numbers.
Note
Use quality high-pressure grease.
Avoid bending or twisting the load cell wires.
1. Remove the cell stand cover.
2. Remove the plug covers.
3. Remove the bolt holding the outer cam, load cell pin and inner cam together.
4. While holding the cam handle, remove the outer cam.
5. Remove the load cell pin and spacers. The load cell assembly will be free on top and rest against the inside of the load cell stand.
6. Remove the inner cam.
7. Remove the lower retainer.
8. Grease all bearing surfaces except where the eye bolt contacts the pin (upper and lower pins, cams, upper and lower eye bolts).
9. Reassemble in reverse order as described above.

5.3 Brake Maintenance
5.3.1 How to Use The Electric Brakes Properly
The scale brakes are designed to work in synchronization with the tow vehicle brakes. Never use the tow vehicle or scale brakes alone to stop the combined load.
The brake controller must be set up according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure proper synchronization between the tow vehicle and the scale. Additionally, small adjustments may need to be made to accommodate changing loads and driving conditions.
Proper synchronization of tow vehicle to scale braking can only be accomplished by road testing. Brake lockup, grabbing, or harshness is often due to the lack of synchronization between the tow vehicle and the scale being towed, too high of a threshold voltage (over 2 volts), or under adjusted brakes.
WARNING
The following should only be performed in a safe environment, such as an unpopulated road free of traffic or under controlled conditions.
Before any synchronization adjustments are made, the scale brakes should be burnished-in by applying the brakes 20-30 times with approximately a 20 mph decrease in speed, e.g., 40 mph to 20 mph. Allow ample time for brakes to cool between application. This allows the brake shoes and magnets to slightly wear-in to the drum surfaces.
5.3.2 Synchronizing The Scale Brakes
To ensure safe brake performance and synchronization, read the brake controller manufacturer's instructions completely before attempting any synchronization procedure.
Make several hard stops from 20 mph on a dry paved road free of sand and gravel. If the scale brakes lock and slide, decrease the gain setting on the controller. If they do not slide, slightly increase the gain setting. Adjust the controller just to the point of impending brake lockup and wheel skid.
Note
Not all scale brakes are capable of wheel lockup. Loading conditions, brake type and wheel and tire size can all affect whether a brake can lock. It is not considered desirable to lock up the brakes and slide the tires. This can cause unwanted flat spotting of the tires and could also result in a loss of control.
If the controller is applying the scale brakes before the tow vehicle brakes, then the controller adjustments should be made so the scale brakes come on in synchronization with the tow vehicle brakes. For proper braking performance, it is recommended that the controller be adjusted to allow the scale brakes to come on just slightly ahead of the tow vehicle brakes. When proper synchronization is achieved there will be no sensation of the scale jerking or pushing the tow vehicle during braking.
5.3.3 Brake Adjustment
Brakes should be adjusted:
• After the first 200 miles (first month) of operation when the brake shoes and drums have seated
• At 3,000 mile intervals (or yearly)
• Or as use and performance requires
Brakes should be adjusted in the following manner:
1. Jack or block the axle arm to allow free rotation of the wheel.
2. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot on the bottom of the brake backing plate.
3. Rotate the star wheel of the adjuster assembly with a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool to expand the brake shoes. Adjust the brake shoes out until the pressure of the linings against the drum makes the wheel very difficult to turn.
4. Rotate the star wheel in the opposite direction until the wheel turns freely with a slight lining drag.
5. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the wheel to the ground.
6. Repeat the above procedure on all brakes. For best results the brakes should all be set at the same clearance.

5.4 Hubs, Drums and Bearings Maintenance
WARNING
To prevent damage to important structural components, all maintenance procedures must be followed. Damage to structural components can cause the wheel end to come off the axle, which can lead to loss of control.
5.4.1 Bearing Adjustment
1. After placing the hub, bearings, washers, and spindle nut on the axle spindle, rotate the hub assembly slowly while tightening the spindle nut to approximately 50 ft-lb.
2. Loosen the spindle nut to remove the torque. Do not rotate the hub.
3. Finger tighten the spindle nut until snug.
4. Align the retainer to the machined flat on the spindle and press the retainer onto the nut until it snaps into place. The retainer/nut should be free to move slightly.
Note
If retainer/nut assembly does not move slightly, remove the retainer and loosen the nut about 1/12 of a turn. Reinstall the retainer. The assembly should now move slightly.
5. Install the dust cover and rotate the wheel to ensure the cotter key does not contact the dust cover.

1. Remove the rubber plug from the end of the grease cap.
2. Place a standard manual grease gun on the grease zerk in the end of the spindle.
IMPORTANT
A high temperature, wheel bearing grease is required. Do not use a pneumatic powered grease gun (it injects grease too fast and forces grease past the seal) or dislodge the seal.
3. Pump grease slowly into the fitting while rotating the hub. The old grease will flow out of the cap around the grease gun nozzle.
4. Once the grease coming out is the new clean grease, remove the grease gun.
5. Wipe off excess grease and replace the rubber plug.
IMPORTANT
If hubs are removed from an axle, seals must be replaced prior to bearing lubrication. If not replaced, grease may get on the brake linings.

Figure 5-4. Gathering Panel Attachment
Building a simple framework that can be set into the provided scale posts can accommodate the mounting of almost any panel.
In some cases, extra support of the mounting frame may be required.
Some gathering panels can be set directly into the corner posts, or located on the corners of the scale. The drawing above that can be set into the top of the panels serves as an example. With the wide variety of panels and configurations available, we cannot provide a mounting means for all of them.
However the scale is mounted, make sure the panels or framework are not attached to the scale cage. There must be a clearance of 1" from any live portion of the scale. Any contact between the panels or framework and the scale can cause the weight reading to be inaccurate.
CAUTION
Gathering panels or handling attachments must be removed from the scale during transport. The scale is not intended for the transportation of goods or livestock. Using the scale to transport goods or livestock voids the warranty.
