Seed Weigh EF325 Trouble Shooting (cont.) Problem: Incorrect Weights Cause: Check System -Verify unit is level so the weighing system works correctly. -Verify that the decal is on the bottom of the weighing bars for correct installation. -If Configuration Code Number (CCN) is entered properly do a visual inspection of the scale system and check for: -Cable damage to weigh bar cables or junction box cable -Verify the supporting structure and weighing structure do not touch at any other point except at the weigh bars. -Next if the scale is still not weighing properly, check for faulty weigh bars as follows: -Position a person or heavy object on the scale system above each weigh bar, one weigh bar at a time, and compare the weight readings. -All readings should be nearly identical to each other. If a reading is significantly different from the other readings, weigh bar could be defective and should be replaced. -Find the weigh bar that is not in the approximate weight as the other three and that is the faulty weigh bar. If the weigh bars are all approximately the same weight then a weigh head could be the issue. Please contact Par-Kan Company to continue with this issue. 22

Seed Weigh EF325 Towing Safety Appendix Towing the Seed Weigh EF325 is designed to be safe if some basic precautions are taken. It is your responsibility to make sure these procedures are followed for the safety of yourself and others on the road. In addition, due to the variety of laws you should check local and/or state requirements. Some common reasons for towing accidents include the following: - Failure to properly connect the coupler and/or safety chains. - Overloading trailer, towing vehicle, or safety devices. - Towing with excessive speeds. - Damaged or improperly maintained towing equipment. Items to consider before towing the Seed Weigh EF325 unit: -You should check the payload rating on your towing vehicle(s), and equipment to ensure they can meet the requirements of pulling our trailer. - Regular inspections should be made to safeguard against failure due to damaged towing and safety equipment. Some of these items include safety chains, hydraulic brake system, and turn signals / taillights. If one or more of the links or fittings on the safety chain is stretched, broken, or deformed it should be replaced. Always replace entire chain assembly. - Safety chains shall be connected to the towing vehicle and trailer so that the slack for each length of chain is approximately the same when the vehicles are aligned on a common front to rear centerline. There shall be no more slack than necessary to permit proper turning of the vehicles. The safety chains shall be crossed under the trailer tongue and connected to the hitch assembly or to other towing vehicle members. Note: Crossing the chains under the tongue typically reduces the probability of stressing or breaking the chains when turning. Figure 3 Standard Ball Coupler 2 5/16 Part #280065 40
