INTRODUCTION

7600905 REVB P a g e | 3

INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your new scale system for your John Deere r4045 Dry Applicator. This scale system is specifically designed to weigh the New Leader box on a John Deere r4045 chassis. The scale system can be used to keep inventory of product and make in field calibration adjustments.

This SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates important safety messages in the manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of PERSONAL INJURY and carefully read the message that follows.

NEVER OPERATE WITHOUT ALL COVERS, SHIELDS AND GUARDS IN PLACE. KEEPHANDS, FEET AND CLOTHING AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT INSERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. Some covers and guards have been removed for illustrative/photographic purposes only in this manual.

For information on ordering repair parts, refer to Parts Section in this book.

This supersedes all previous published instructions.

IMPORTANT!

Charging Battery and Welding Disconnect all cables from the weighing indicator before charging the battery or welding on the machine. If cables are left connected, the weighing indicator and connected load cells could be damaged. Important: Do not weld near indicator, load cells or cables; remove from area to be welded. Place ground close to area to be welded to prevent current from passing through electronic parts.

SCALE BRACKET AND LOAD CELL MOUNTING INSTALLATION

Scale Installation The John Deere 4045 Fertilizer Spreader Scale kit consists of mounting six load cells, a junction box and a

scale indicator to support the fertilizer box.

Spreader Box Removal

1. Remove forward left and forward right hardware and rubber mounts. Put these two bolts and

shock mounts in a container for safe keeping.

IMPORTANT: After removing

the forward mounting points, a

ratchet strap shall be installed to

secure the front end of the box to the

frame. Failure to strap the box down

during removal of hardware may

cause a crushing hazard due to an

unbalanced weight ratio, as the rear

end of the spreader box is heavier

than the forward portion. Refer to

photo below for proper position of

the ratchet strap.

Scale Installation

7600905 REVB P a g e | 5

2. Remove the two bolts securing the center. Keep remainder hardware for safe keeping.

3. Remove the hardware and retaining plates that secures the rear portion of the spreader

box to the chassis of the r4045. It will be necessary to remove both the hardware and

the plates.

5. Remove the backup alarm located on the right axle and disconnect the electrical

connector from the alarm. NOTE: do not discard the hardware, you will need to retain

the hardware for mounting the alarm in a later step.

4. Remove the two inner bolts located on the

rear portion of the left and right axles as

identified with “Letter A” in the figure to the left.

1/4” Clearance needed

on both sides of

spreader hopper leg.

Lifting the Spreader Box

It will be necessary to raise the height of the spreader box to install the bracketing and load Cells. It is

necessary to start at the rear of the spreader and work your way forward when raising the spreader box.

Lift the spreader box so that the front of the box is at least 10 inches above the chassis at the front of

the box. Lifting 10” will allow for the hydraulic lines to remain in place during installation.

Expanding the Rear Box Mount Flanges

1. Ensure the spreader box is not binding on the rear gussets. Failure to have clearance

will result in inaccurate weights!

2. Slide spreader box to the rear 1 ½” by utilizing a pry bar between the rear frame of the implement and the spreader box frame. Refer to the photo below left for proper use of pry bar location (This applies to both left and right sides). The spreader box will need to be moved rearward until the condition in the photo to the below right is shown.

NOTE: Utilize a porta-power and a small ram

to spread the rear gussets apart, ensuring

proper spacing to allow the spreader box to

freely float and to not contact the gussets

during operation. The gap should be at

minimum 5 ¼” between the flange mounts.

This should allow for ¼” gap on both sides of

the box frame.

IMPORTANT: The lifting device utilized must be capable of

lifting 6000 lbs. Loosen and retighten the ratchet strap as necessary.

Scale Installation

7600905 REVB P a g e | 7

IMPORTANT: After rear shims are removed and the hopper is lowered, check clearance between the

rear mounts of the spreader hopper and the rear chassis mount gussets. It is necessary to have a 1/4”

clearance between the hopper and the chassis gussets. Typically the two inside gussets on the chasssis

need to bent/moved inward.

Remove Tiedowns

It will be necessary to remove the wire tiedowns which are welded to the New Leader spreader box

frame. These tiedowns are located in the position of the arrows indicated in the figure below. These

tiedowns can be easily removed with the use of a grinder.

The box must be

moved to the rear.

The proper

position is shown

so the front of the

hole on the

spreader box is

lined up with the

rear of the hole on

the axle gusset.

NOTE: A hose retainer is located in this position. It may be necessary to remove a portion of the

weld on the hose retainer in order to allow further installation of the rail brackets for the scale

system.

inches.

Tightening Hardware

IMPORTANT:

It is very important that the procedure be followed for tightening the hardware on the scale system.

Failure to follow this method of tightening hardware can result in inaccurate weights due to binding of

the scale system.

1. Check chassis alignment and spreader box frame alignment. Ensure that the Spreader Box is

square and aligned to the chassis.

2. Ensure that the spreader box rear mounts are not binding and are free floating between the

mounting points. You will need to periodically check the spreader box rear mounts during the

tightening procedure to ensure that the spreader box does not bind.

Scale Installation

7600905 REVB P a g e | 25

3. Slide both rear axle brackets as far forward as possible and tighten the four metric bolts on the

rear side of the axle.

NOTE: After tightening the bolts on the left and right axles, do a quick check of allignment to

ensure the chassis and spreaderbox are still aligned, and it is not binding on the rear spreader

box mounts.

4. Tighten the 1” x 14” bolts that strap the rear axle brackets to the chassis. Do this for

both the left and right axles. NOTE: It is best to tighten the forward 1” x 14” bolt first.

5. Tighten the ¾” x 2” bolts on the front side of the axle brackets, securing the axle bracket

to the chassis. See figure below for a better discription of location.

17. After tightening procedure is complete. Re-Install the backup alarm to the right side

axle bracket. There is a plate located on top of the axle bracket that allows for securing

the backup alarm to the chassis. Use the original hardware to secure the backup alarm

to the axle bracket.

Greese Application

1. After the mounting is complete it will be necessary to greese all fittings on the scale

system. Each loadcell needs to be greesed prior to first use. Greese fittings until you

can visably see greese protruding from the sleeve of the loadcell. Refer to the

maintenance section for proper maintenance intervals of grease application.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the loadcell is perpendicular and

at a right angle to the frame of the chassis. Failure to

maintain this perpendicular profile will result in

inaccurate weights.

FINAL CHECK: Ensure alignment on the frame and that the rear spreader box mounts are

allowing the spreader to “Float” within the mounting flanges on the rear of the axle.

Junction Box Installation

7600905 REVB P a g e | 32

JUNCTION BANK MOUNTING

DT06 Junction Bank

The junction bank is water resistant, not water-proof. It should be mounted to avoid submersion during

wet weather and to avoid physical abuse. The junction bank can be mounted on the front or rear of the

drill, planter or seeder. All load cell cables must reach the junction bank. Install by removing the double

sided VHB tape backing and apply to a cleaned surface.

Connect Load Cell and Junction Box Cable

1. Route front and rear load cell cables to Junction Bank

location. Make sure they are not bound or pinched. Cable

tie (Customer provided) load cell cables in place.

2. Insert the load cell cables DT06 connector J-box cables

into each available port of the Junction Bank.

NOTE: There are six available ports for loadcells with a

seventh position utilized for the interface cable to the

indicator or scale controller device.

3. Ensure any remaining unused ports on the junction box

are filled with the plugs provided within the kit.

NOTE: Best practice is to install the junction bank onto a surface

so it is secured in a vertical position perpendicular to the surface

of the ground. See illustration to the right. Although the

connection system is rated to prevent moisture and dust

intrusion, it is still advisable to not install the junction bank with

the connectors facing the upward to the sky.

Testing and Trouble Shooting

7600905 REVB P a g e | 34

TESTING AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

IMPROTANT All bars need to weigh accurately before it will be beneficial to recalibrate your

indicator

Inaccurate weights? 1) Measure the same person, or a 200 pound weight, on each of the weigh bars.

• If one weighs negative, turn that weigh bar over. (An upside down bar will weigh negative.)

• If one side is weighing 20% light, check for an obstruction. Is anything binding or any metal

rubbing?

• Could be a faulty weigh bar

• If they are all even weights, but are weighing light or heavy, you need to adjust the calibration.

If your scale is more than 5% off, call us for help, as your scale may have had the wrong

calibration number put in it from the factory. 1-888-962-2344.

• The hopper being weighed needs to be at least ¾ full for us to adjust calibration.

• Check operator’s manual or give us a call at 1-888-962-2344.

Erratic weights? The following process needs to occur in an effort to eliminate one part at a time in an effort to find the

problem! When you reconnect the faulty part you will have erratic readings again.

1) Disconnect the junction box cord from the indicator marked “load cells”. The indicator should

stabilize after 45 seconds. Try to zero out the indicator. IF the indicator won’t zero out, the indicator is

the problem.

IF it will zero out:

2) Connect the junction box back to the indicator. And then disconnect all of the load cells from the

junction box.

3) Zero out the indicator. IF the indicator won’t zero out the problem is the junction box or the junction

box cable.

IF it will zero out:

4) Reconnect the load cells ONE AT A TIME, zeroing out the indicator each time. When you reconnect

the faulty load cell, you will have erratic readings again.

Operating the Scale

7600905 REVB P a g e | 35

OPERATING THE SCALE

Filling the Spreader 1. Push the "Start" button. The screen will show zero, and the arrow is now pointing to "Net" on the

screen. This is a temporary zero point to start loading the hopper with seed.

2. Fill product into the fertilizer spreader hopper.

3. Note the weight of product filled into the spreader.

4. Push the “Stop” button, the weight will return to the Net inventory in the hopper.

5. If filling a second bin in the fertilizer hopper, push the "Start button again. The screen will say zero

again.

6. Fill the second hopper on the fertilizer spreader.

7. Note the weight of the product you filled into the second hopper.

4. Push "Stop" and the screen will now return to the Net inventory on the spreader (both products

weighed together as one single weight).

Monitoring your application rate

NOTE: This procedure assumes all hoppers have been filled to some degree and you are ready to apply.

1. Prior spreading stop the implement in relatively level location.
