Fitting the Endcap & Springs

Build the stack of disc springs; it is critical that the orientation of the springs and number of springs is correct. Make a note of the number of spring and orientation during dis-assembly.

Position the endcap on a work surface and drop the correctly orientated springs into the cap.

Apply a light smear of lubricant to the male threads of the top load cell.

Still with the endcap sitting on a flat work surface. Invert the load cell assembly and screw the load cells into the endcap threads.

Once the disc springs begin to go into compression, it will be difficult to rotate the endcap by hand. At this point, lift the load cell assembly and the endcap and secure in a vice.

Using a suitable leather ratchet strap, fully rotate the endcap down until it locks against the top load cell.

The top face of the puller bar should be flush with the top face of the endcap.
