The document provides installation and operation instructions for the Kimax II onboard scale. It describes how to calibrate the device by weighing vehicles in different configurations and entering the axle load values. Navigation buttons allow viewing individual axle weights, vehicle load, and total weight. Installation considerations include cable routing, sensor placement, and electrical connections. The menu system provides options for printing, software version, calibration, configuration, alarms, and turning the device off.
