FULL LIFT POSITION

(LOADER USED FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES)

• The bucket/blade (as applicable) is rolled back to the stops.
• The lift arms/supporting members (as applicable) are raised to the maximum lift
height (hoist detent cut-out).
Figure 3. FULL LIFT POSITION
b. The machine is weighed first facing in one direction, and then turned around 180°and
weighed again.
c. The machine is weighed in each position, and in each direction, first with an empty
bucket, then with a loaded bucket. The load in the bucket/blade (as applicable) is to be
as close to the machine-rated load as possible, up to a maximum of ± 5%.

1. The machine load weigh system should be calibrated and used

to establish the bucket load weight.
2. The same bucket load should be used for all recorded weights.
DOCUMENTING THE WEIGHING PROCESS
The Machine Weighing Record Chart provides the fields to be recorded during the weighing
process.

The chart must be completed in full to be a valid weight record. The chart
can be printed from the DVD on 8-1/2 x 11 or A4 paper.

PROCEDURE TO WEIGH LETOURNEAU, INC. LOADERS & FIGURE 9 3_4

PROCEDURE TO WEIGH LETOURNEAU TECHNOLOGIES

MACHINES
The following procedure is designed to provide an accurate weighing of the loader and
conform to SAE definitions. This procedure is provided to assist with tire specifications and
LINCS® load weighing calibrations.
PREPARATION OF WEIGHING AREA AND SCALES
a. Ensure scales have sufficient capacity to withstand the loaded front axle mass of the
loader. Ensure scales are adequate to handle 80% of listed machine mass. Refer to
L/D-950, COMPONENT APPROXIMATE WEIGHTS in this publication.
b. Scales used for weighing to be installed and calibrated to the requirements of the scale
manufacturers. Calibration date and error curves are to be provided.
c. Scales to be positioned to allow machine weights to be taken with machine frame level,
both fore and aft, and side to side. Surface to be a hard-packed area, offering minimal
rolling resistance.
d. An area adjacent to the scales must be provided to enable the machine to be turned
around, enabling the weights to be recorded in opposing directions.
PREPARATION OF MACHINE TO BE WEIGHED
a. Machine is to be thoroughly cleaned and all bucket hang-up is to be completely
removed.
b. Machine is to be charged with a full fuel load and all systems up to the operating fluid
levels.
c. Tire pressures to be to manufacturer’s specifications.
d. The machine operator should remain onboard during all weight readings.

NOTE: If you have printed a page from the LEPDS-LeTourneau Electronic Publication Delivery System-The page may not include all relevant data, such as specifications, Warnings,
Cautions or Notes that may be found in other documentation. Verify you have read and understood all associated information before performing any work on the machine. It is the
responsibility of the mechanic, repairman or inspector to understand all instructions for the specific work being performed.

PROCEDURE TO WEIGH LETOURNEAU, INC. LOADERS & FIGURE 9 3_4

WEIGHING PROCEDURE
a. Three (3) different bucket positions are used with weighing the machine. The definitions
are:
CARRY POSITION

(LOADER USED FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES)

• The bucket/blade (as applicable) is rolled back to the stops.
• The lift arms/supporting members (as applicable) are raised to give a 15°-approach
angle under the bucket/blade (as applicable) to the front tire, tangent to the tire
contact point. This is approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) from bucket/blade pivot pin to
ground level.
