Installing the Deection Sensors
Thedeectionsensorsmeasuretheexintheliftarmsasthetruck
raisesandlowersbins.BinMaxxusestwosensors,oneforeach
arm.Eachsensorismountedtoasetofarmbracketsoneachside
ofthetruck.
Choosing a Location for the Brackets
• Thebracketsshouldbeasclosetotheupperforward
curve(closesttotheforksofthetruck)whileremaining
level(i.e.notinthecurve).
• Thebracketsshouldnotbeplacedoveranyhydraulic
clamps,couplersorotherhardware.(OEMweldsmay
needtobegrounddowninordertoplacetheBinMaxx
armbracketinthemostoptimumlocation.)
• Thebracketsand/orarmsensorscannotbeincontact
withanyothertruckcomponent,suchasanarmmounted
hydrauliclineoranarmcable.
• Thebracketsneedtobeplacedinthesamepositionon
botharms.Verifypositioningonbotharmspriortowelding
thebracketsoneitherside.Ensurethattheposition
chosen does not have any interference on either side.
• Thebracketsshouldbeplacedsothatthereisenough
spacetoinstallorremovethedeectionsensors.Leave
thealignmenttool(Jig)inthebracketduringweldingto
ensurethatthereisenoughspace.
• If an arm weld seam or plug is located in the optimum
position for the arm
brackets, grind the arm weld
seam down until it is smooth
and ush with the arm and
then position and weld the
arm sensor brackets to that
location. Positioning of
the scale’s brackets must
supersede the existence
of any OEM welds when a
conict occurs.
Placing the Bracket on the Lift Arm

aftertighteningthebolts.
2. Holdthebracket/jigassemblytotheundersideofthearm
overthelocationyouchoseforinstallationearlier.Thebottom
oftheJshapedbracketshouldfaceinboardtowardsthecab
tooptimizetheprotectionofthearmsensor.UseC-clampsto
holdthebracket/jiginplace.
3. Usingapermanentmarker,markthecircumferenceofthe
bracketholesonthearm.
4. RemovetheC-clampandbracket.Removethepaintonthe
armtobaremetalwhereindicatedbythemarker.Makesure
thereisnopaintremainingwherethebracketwillbewelded.
5. Replacethebracketoverthesandedareaandsecurethem
inplacewiththeC-clamps.
