1.2 Considerations Before Installation
1.2.1 Forklift Derating
Capacity Reduction Calculation
While the CLS-M3 will fit most typical forklifts, there are considerations that must be taken into account prior to
installation. Due to the extra weight of the CLS-M3, the net lifting capacity of the forklift is reduced by
approximately 10 percent. Use the formula below to calculate the amount to down-rate the lifting capacity and
determine the net capacity of the forklift.
CLS Classes and ID Plates
During the initial sale or installation of the CLS-M3, remind the customer that they must have an updated ID plate
on the forklift stating the new lifting capacity and center of gravity information. This is require3d per OSHA rules
and regulations.
A = Truck Basic Capacity in pounds B = Inches from front wheel center line to fork face
C = Inches from face to truck rating point (usually 24) D = Weight of scale in pounds
E = Inches from front wheel center line to carriage face F = Inches from carriage face to scale horizontal center of gravity (HCG)
G = J + K (inches from carriage face to rear face of load H = Inches from fork face to new truck rating point
J = Thickness of fork K = Thickness of scale

Introduction 3
1.2.2 Forklift Battery and CLS Installation
Take into consideration that the indicator power source will be connected directly to the battery of the
forklift. Most typical is 12 volts for propane, gas and diesel forklifts.
12 volt systems must have a negative ground so ensure the forklift has a negative ground electrical
system. The CLS will not operate on a positive ground forklift. Refer to the forklift users manual to further
verify grounding requirements.
The standard CLS scales use 9-36V power supply for use on 12 V batteries. If the forklift is an electric system,
make sure to install:
PN 166162 – DC-DC Converter, CLS
PN 166161 – Power Line Filter, CLS (for static protection)
1.3 CLS-M3 Power and PC Connection
The CLS-M3 receives power from a mobile PC through the RS-232 port, this eliminates the need for a
Communication/Power box.
The iQube2 j-box interfaces to Virtui2software that has been pre-installed on the mobile PCs operating system. It
allows the operator to display weight and zero the scale.
To calibrate and troubleshoot the CLS-M3, Revolution– software has been installed on the mobile PC as well.
The mobile PC receives data and power (5V on pin 9) from the iQube2 j-box through the Coiled Interface Cable,
PN 156295 and RS-232 adapter cable (PN 156296).
Figure 1-1. Coiled Interface Cable and Adapter
1.4 iQub e 2®J-Box Introduction
The iQube2 j-box sits in an area between the front and back plate of the scale itself providing protection for the
j-box. It comes from the factory pre-wired and no additional work needs to be done to it other than sealing it for
Legal for Trade applications.

2.0 Scale Base Installation
This section describes procedures for installing the Cargo Lift Scale base.
Take all necessary safety precautions when installing the scale carriage, including wearing safety shoes
and protective eyewear, and using the proper tools, which are listed in Section 2.4.
The Cargo Lift Scale is shipped from the factory with the scale already calibrated and all settings stored in the j-
box. Minimal adjustments and calibration might be necessary once the scale is installed onto the forklift. Those
calibration steps are contained in Section 4.6 on page 36.
2.1 Before Installation
Before installing the CLS on a forklift, the forklift should be in good operating condition for optimal weighing
accuracy. Look for the following items prior to installing the CLS onto a forklift:
•Inspect the forks for any damage.
•Check the locking pin on the forks for proper function.
•Check and adjust the lift chain so the heel of the forks have 1/2 to 1 inch of clearance from the floor when the
carriage is down and the mast is vertical.
•The slot for the center pin should be clear of grease and debris.
•The top cleats of the forklift rest on the top of the scale and should remain clear of grease and debris that
could alter the scale’s performance.
The power/communication box will be connected directly to the battery of the forklift. The CLS scale works with
9-36 VDC power source.
All systems must have a negative ground.
2.2 Tools Needed to Install the CLS-M onto the Forklift
Once the forklift is deemed in good mechanical and operating condition, use the following tools to remove it from
its shipping pallet and install onto the forklift.
Tool Size Purpose of Tool
Allen wrench 4 mm For service only, to remove j-box
Cresent wrench 2 in adjustable For adjusting the shim bolts and jam nuts.

2.4 Scale Base Installation
Use the following steps to install the scale base to the forklift.
Figure 2-4. Anti-shift Centering Pin, Shim Bolts and Top Cleat Locations (One Scale Configuration Shown)
Verify that the shim bolts are flush with the back plate of the scale. Not doing so will place the entire scale
out of alignment when attaching it onto the forklift and will make it difficult to make final adjustments
once the scale is mounted onto the forklift.
1. Making sure the forks are removed from the forklift, move the forklift in close to the pallet and scale.
2. Ensure the anti-shift centering pin on the scale assembly is aligned with the center notch on the forklift
carriage.
The scale’s centering pin should be aligned with the middle notch of the forklift carriage. Verify that the
centering pin is adjusted so that the pin is located well within the center notch area of the carriage. The
centering pin should not touch the bottom of the notch on the original carriage, as this will cause side to side
tilting of the scale. The outside top cleats provide support to the scale assembly and the centering pin only
helps to position the scale on the forklift carriage. The centering pin should not bear any weight. If it does, the
use of a grinder to grind down the centering pin will help remedy that.
3. Tilt the mast forward slightly to catch the scale assembly.
4. Carefully and slowly raise the scale carriage slightly so the top cleats (cleat location shown in Figure 2-4)
of the scale hook onto the forklift carriage. If they do not hook, push the scale toward the forklift as it is
being raised.
5. Tilt the mast back to secure the connection and raise the scale to shoulder height.
6. Attach the bottom cleats to the bottom of the scale assembly (see Figure 2-5 for bottom cleat location), so
that the lip of the cleat is behind the scale carriage.
7. Torque the bottom cleat retaining bolts to 125 ft-lb.
Failure to properly torque the bottom plate retaining bolts may result in bodily harm or damage to
equipment.
8. Adjust the shim bolts so there is a minimal clearance between the bottom cleats and the scale carriage of
0.020-inch thickness. This can be measured by using the included feeler gauge.
Failure to adjust shim bolts to proper clearance of 0.020 inches may result in binding, poor accuracy or
improper fit of attachment to forklift.

2.5 Connect the Coiled Interface Cable to J-Box
Figure 2-6. Connecting the Coiled Cable
1. Loosen the bolt holding the cover to the scale assembly and remove cover. See Figure 2-6.
2. Assemble loop clamp kit to the coiled interface cable.
3. Route the coiled cable through clips on backside of carriage toward middle. For proper coiled cable
routing, tighten clips. Set the other end of the cable aside until the power/communication box is installed
(See Section 3 on page 14).
4. Push the coiled interface cable through the hole in the scale and connect it to the j-box. See Figure 2-6.
5. Position the scale cover assembly and the loop clamp assembly to the scale and secure with the bolt and
washer.
After successful installation (Section 2.0 and Section 3.0) and calibration (Section 5.0), replace the cover on
the scale assembly and secure with bolt and washer.
2.6 Install Forks onto Scale Assembly
The forks need to be installed onto the scale assembly.
1. Align a fork to the center of the scale
assembly making sure it is over
the top of the assembly.
2. Lift the carriage slightly to set the fork,
and then slide the fork to the side of the scale.
Let it stop in the 2nd notch from the end
and latch it in place.
3. Repeat process for other fork,
sliding it the opposite direction on the scale.
For accurate weighing, it is best to leave forks at the second notch from the outside edge of the scale.

3.1 Routing Coiled Interface Cable
Special care should be taken when routing the coiled interface cable. To ensure that the cable is installed properly
and away from situations that could cause it harm use the following steps:
1. The cable was connected to the load cell j-box during the scale installation. Retrieve the cable and route to
the mobile PC from the forklift scale.
2. Routing of cable will vary depending on forklift style. The preferred route for a single stage forklift is
through the center of the mast, up the front/right upright, to the area where the mobile PC is mounted.
Figure 3-2. Signal Cable Located Between the Scale and the Mobile PC
3. Secure with cable ties at the scale, at the top of the mast and several other locations to keep it securely in
place.
4. Slowly and carefully extend the mast to all positions to confirm that the cable isn’t pulled too tight or that
there are no pinch points along the way.
5. Check for proper signal cable clearance as the side shifter (if used), is moved back and forth.
When routing cables do not obstruct the view of OSHA labels on the forklift.
