• 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

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
conict occurs.
