INTRODUCTION
ThankyouforpurchasingtheGallagherWeighScaleW310v2WeighScale.
GallagherGroupLimitedhavebeenmakingagriculturalweighingequipmentfor
over75yearsandinthattimehaveearnedareputationforqualityequipment
thatwithstandstoughagriculturalconditions.
TheGallagherWeighScalerangeofweighingsystemsissimple,tough,
innovativeandreliable.
AlloftheWeighScalesintheGallagherrangecanbematchedtoachoiceof
loadbarsystems,aswellasarangeofplatformsandcratestomakeanaccurate
andreliableweighingsystem.
Althoughdesignedspecificallyforagriculture,theWeighScalerangeisalso
suitedtomanyindustrialapplications.

CAREANDMAINTENANCE
TheWeighScaleW310v2isatoughandreliableproductdesignedforusein
typicallivestockenvironments.However,propercareandmaintenancecan
extenditslife.
ListedbelowareguidelinesforkeepingtheWeighScaleingoodcondition:
Don'tsubmergetheWeighScaleinanyliquid.
StoretheWeighScaleinacool,dryplace.Avoidstoringitindirectsunlight
Afteruse,cleantheWeighScalewithadampcloth.Takecarenottoscratch
thedisplay.
Fittheconnectorcapstokeeptheconnectionscleananddry.

INSTALLATION
InstallingtheWeighScalebracket
Thebracketcanbemountedonaflatverticalsurface,oronaroundpost.
Tomountthebracketona
flatverticalsurface,for
exampleasquarepostor
board,usetheouterholes.
Tomountthebracketona
roundpost,usetheinner
holes.

Don'tmounttheWeighScalebracketontheweighingcrateorchute.
Installingtheloadbars
Toinstalltheloadbarsfollowthesesteps.
1. Bolttheplatformtotheloadbars.
2. Ensuretheplatformisplacedonaflatandlevelsurface.Makesureitisnot
touchinganyrailsorgates.
3. Eitherbolttheloadbarstotheconcretepadorlocatethemonstudssetinto
theconcrete.Thiswillpreventtheplatformfrommovingduringthe
weighingsession.

POWERANDBATTERIES
Duringaweighingsession,theWeighScalecanbepoweredbyitsinternal
batteryaloneorbyitsinternalbatteryandeitherthebatterychargeroran
external12voltbattery.
ThebatterychargerconnectsbetweenanACoutletandtheWeighScale.
Ifeitherthebatterychargeroranexternal12voltbatteryisconnectedtothe
WeighScale,theWeighScale'sinternalbatterywillbechargedwhiletheWeigh
Scaleisinuse.
Foroptimumperformance,switchofftheWeighScaleandchargeitsinternal
batteryforatleastfivehours.Whenfullycharged,theinternalbatteryonits
ownwillpowertheWeighScalecontinuouslyforaminimumofeighthours.
Chargingthebattery
ThebatteryintheWeighScalecanberechargedusingeitherabatterychargeror
anexternal12voltbattery.
Rechargingthebatterywilltakeuptofivehoursdependingonthelevelof
chargealreadyinthebattery.TheWeighScalecanbeinuseorcanbeswitched
offwhilethebatteryisbeingcharged.
Usingthebatterycharger
Tochargethebatteryusingthebatterycharger,followthesesteps:
1. ConnecttheleadbetweenthebatterychargerandtheWeighScale.

2. PlugthebatterychargerintoanACoutletandswitchon.
3. OpentheWeighScalecaseandmakesurethebatterychargeicon
onthemainscreenisflashing.Thisindicatesthatthebatteryischargingand
willbedisplayedwhethertheWeighScaleisturnedonoroff.
