The 250 series gauge is designed to mbe mounted on the exterior of the truck or
trailer. The following steps will walk you through how to correctly mount and
install the gauge. Be sure to choose a locaon that is easily accessible and safe
from potenal damage (forkli posts, re caps, etc.)
DO NOT mount the scale directly to the chassis or any other main
beam unless it is approved by the vehicle manufacturer. Doing so
may void the warranty with the vehicle manufacturer.

SCALE INSTALLATION
FRONT FLANGE:
Cut a mounng hole of diameter 2 5/8”, or replace an exisng
flange mounted PSI gauge.
DO NOT drill or cut mounng holes in the main chassis or any
other part of the vehicle’s main framework unless it is approved by
the manufacturer. Drilling holes wihtout approval may void your
warranty with the vehicle manufacturer.
!
NOTE:
Right Weigh, Inc. sells a separate mounng bracket (250-BR) that
accomodates both the flange mount and the lower mount gauges. Please
contact Right Weigh, Inc. on page 2 for more informaon.
Open the gauge vent prior to mounng.
The vent is located on the top of the
gauge. Move the yellow pointer to the
open posion.

1: The vehicle must be fully loaded. For best results, calibrate with a loaded
weight within 1500lbs or 750kgs of your typical axle group weight (DO NOT
calibrate empty!)
2: Using a cerfied in-ground scale, obtain a loaded weight for the axle group
aached to the gauge.
3: Park on a level surface. Shi the transmission to neutral and set the parking
brakes.
4: Chock the wheels to prevent unexpected vehicle movment.
5: Release the parking brakes.
6: Make sure the Height Control Valve (HCV) has fully inflated the air bags. If
needed, briefly dump the air from the suspension and allow the HCV to refill
the system.
7: Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the calibraon screw on the dial face unl
the gauge matches the cerfied axle group weight.

ERRATIC / INACCURATE READINGS
Below is a list of problems we have seen with a simple fix. If you don’t see
your problem listed here or our troubleshoong doesn’t fix your problem,
call Right Weigh Tech Support listed on page 2 for further assistance!
PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGE?
The vehicle is not parked on a level surface:
Parking on sloped or banked surfaces will cause the vehicle weight
distribuon to shi between the axle groups.
There is a significant air leak in the suspension system:
This could cause the HCV to refill the suspension at regular intervals to
maintain the vehicle’s ride height. If there is a significant leak, the gauge
display will slowly decrease in value and then quickly increase in value when
the HCV refills the suspension system.
The vehicle’s brakes are on:
When the vehicle brakes are set, they could apply addional pressure or
torque on the suspension airbags. This will cause the suspension to have a
different air pressure than what is actually needed to hold up the given
weight.
The vehicle is parked on an uneven or rough surface:
If one or more of the vehicle’s wheels are in a pothole, that could result in
addional pressure or torque on the suspension airbags. This will cause the
suspension to have a different air pressure than what is actually needed to
hold up the given weight.
The Height Control Valve (HCV) is malfunconing or broken:
If the HCV is not funconing correctly, the air pressure applied to the
suspension system could be inconsistent and/or errac. To test for an HCV
problem, acquire a weight reading from the Right Weigh gauge and write it
down (refer to gauge operang instrucons for proper procedure). Drive the
vehicle around the block and return to the same locaon. Acquire a second
reading from the Right Weigh gauge. If the two readings are significantly
different, then the HCV might be malfunconing.
