Figure 4-2. Adding Shims
As FB scales have various lever ratios, the number and/or thickness of shims needed to achieve a proper
corner correction may vary. However, the ratio of change will be linear. If one .020'' shim changes a corner 2
lbs, then two 0.20'' (or one .040'') shim will change the corner 4 lbs.
