2.4 Setup and Assembly
The Rice Lake AX3040 can be set up either in a shallow pit, with the top surface of the weighbridge sitting at grade
or it can be set on top of a level concrete pad with approach ramps installed.
Once the site has been properly prepared, lift the weighbridge into position ensuring that they correspond to the
wheel configurations and dimensions of the vehicle being weighed. The tires of the vehicle should center on the
platforms. See Section 2.4.1.
Note
See Figure 2-4 and 2-5 for location or positioning of junction box and cables.
2.4.1 Positioning Weigh Pads
1. Screw the provided eyebolts completely down to the shoulder.
2. Attach chains to eyebolts to lift and position the weigh pads.
WARNING
Eye bolts must always be inserted into the top of the scale. Lifting should always occur with
the top plate facing up and the eye bolts securely attached through the nuts welded to the
bottom side of the top plate. Lifting from the bottom of the plate could cause nuts to break
loose and the scale to fall.
