TM 5-3895-374-10APPENDIXG.....................................................................................................................WEIGHED LOAD TEST SUGGESTIONSIn Step 4-All possible sources of weighing errors should be minimized. Make sure the truck is fully on the scale -split axle weighing should be avoided. Always pull the truck on the scale in the same direction. Mark thescale and insist the truck stop in identically the same location. Get a fresh tare weight for each load. Usethe tare weight taken before the truck was loaded, not after the load was dumped. Try to account for andminimize fuel use.In Step 5-Run at least three repetitions at the maximum production rate, three at the minimum production rate andthree at the average production rate and expect all tests to be within the governing tolerance. If intolerance data can not be obtained over the entire operating range, the scale weighbridge assembly mostprobably needs adjustment.In all case, DO NOT TRUST ANYONE! Do everything, check everything and verify everything yourself. Double checkevery calculation and every operation. If any part of or person involved with any test procedure is changed the test shouldbe restarted from the beginning. If anything can go wrong or if any dumb mistake can be made, it will be.ABSOLUTE REPEATABILITY OF PROCEDURE, OF TECHNIQUE, AND OF CONDITIONS IS REQUIRED FORREPEATABILITY OF RESULTS.page F - 113SYSTEMS Equipment Corp. 8/31/89 Page (64)
