1. Insert and connect 9V battery into weigh scale.
2. Remove the Spreader Bar (S) from lifter boom (B) and retain items marked ‘X’.
NOTES:
a. Some lifters have a link (L) which will force the weigh scale to mount side-ways on lifters. This
link may be removed to allow the weigh scale to mount directly to the boom however the installer
needs to check weigh scale fits correctly and allows free movement without interference when
installed.
The link (L) is to be retained when installing on Aspire 200 lifters.
b. If removing the link then ensure it is kept in a safe location for when lifter is used without the
Aspire In Line Weigh Scale.
c. Aspire 200 Lifter boom shown below. Your lifter boom may vary. Do not remove any part of the
lifter boom (including any extension pieces).
