The operating instruction (hereinafter also referred to as “manual") contains fundamental
safety instructions for handling the VETTER SmartFork® Scale weighing fork arms
(hereinafter also referred to as "SmartFork® Scale"). Incorrect use of the SmartFork®
Scale can result in serious injuries and even death due to the considerable dead weight
and the mechanical properties. For this reason, this manual and especially the safety
instructions/information contained therein must be read by the competent industrial truck
driver prior to assembly, commissioning and maintenance. The manual must always be
available at the operation site of the SmartFork® Scale (on the industrial truck).
Always observe the information in the industrial truck operating instruction to ensure safe
handling of the SmartFork® Scale.
The SmartFork® Scale can be equipped with other SmartFork® applications (e.g. laser).
If any reference is made to an “assistance system” in the text that follows, such a refer-
ence encompasses all other applications installed in the SmartFork® Scale in addition to
the weighing function.
Illustrations in this manual are for basic understanding and may deviate from the actual
design.

1 Overview, SmartFork® Scale
1.1 Range of application
The SmartFork® Scale is used to lift, transport and put down loads or goods on pallets
that are intended for transport by fork lift truck or another form of industrial truck.
Using the SmartFork® Scale allows the weight of the load that was lifted to be recorded
during transport and, if necessary, added up. The load centre distance of the load (in lon-
gitudinal direction of the vehicle) that was lifted can also be displayed.
Always observe the information in the industrial truck operating instruction to ensure safe
handling of the SmartFork® Scale.
1.2 Variants of the SmartFork® Scale

2Position of the load cells in the SmartFork® Scale
The SmartFork® Scale is used to weigh a load that was lifted. The signal is transferred
from the load cells (Fig. 1/2) in the fork blade to the output device (SmartDisplay) in the
cab via a radio system, the SmartSupply (Fig. 1/1).

The SmartFork® Scale is delivered together with the SmartSupply and is available in two
variants.
Variant BAT - The power supply for the SmartSupply is realised by means of a
replaceable battery.
Variant CAB - The power supply for the SmartSupply is done via the power source of
the industrial truck by cable.
Additional SmartFork® applications
The SmartFork® Scale can optionally be equipped with other SmartFork®
applications. Information about other installed applications of the
SmartFork® (e.g. laser), the operating manual for the SmartDisplay and
the operating instruction for the SmartSupply can be found in the other
applicable documents.

nOperating instruction for the mounted fork carrier
nOperating instructions for the operator
nOperating instruction for the SmartSupply
nOperating manual for the SmartDisplay
nEquipment-specific operating instructions for the individual SmartFork® applications
and components
2.3 Intended use
The SmartFork® Scale is used exclusively to record the weight and transport loads
without other SmartFork® applications. Its use does not in any way replace the general
requirements for safety and due diligence. The SmartFork® Scale must only be used on
fork lift trucks or industrial trucks with compatible fork carriers.
