This Installation Guide provides only
general suggestions.
You are responsible for safe work
practices and sound judgment
for lifting and maneuvering heavy objects.
Be careful and thoughtful before
proceeding.
Mechanical Installation of
SEKO
Scales should take less than ten
minutes total time.
Installation of the Class II
SEKO
Scales with up to 48 inch forks
can usually be accomplished by one experienced worker.
The videos which accompany this guide were filmed by the worker doing
the installation.
The video installation was the first installation ever attempted by the
worker.
An experienced worker will note the errors experienced in this learning
process.
(Feel free to be amused at the in-expert moves.)
This "first-time
installation by an inexperienced worker" took less than ten minutes,
total.

Remove Scale and Replace Forks: (Video 4: 2:55
Minutes)
Video demonstrates rapid swap
capability using SEKO
modular Scale System. A truck breakdown requires only
about five minutes to transfer the scale system to another truck. Very
little production time is lost due to wait for mechanic assistance.
When
forks are removed, replace the Shipping Locking Bolts for travel.
