3.0 Safety Chain Option Assembly Instructions
The safety chain provides four chains and 16 washers to anchor the hopper and girder chair to the pipe lever
fulcrum stand. This helps prevent the hopper from tilting too far off the girder chair and becoming unstable. The
optional safety chain kit provides the chains and washers only. All other hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.) must be
provided by the customer. Use Figure 3-1 and the procedure below to install the chain option on your pipe lever
scale.
1. Place one chain and four washers at each of the four scale base corners.
2. Place two stacked washers and upper end link underneath girder chair baseplate (Position A). Be sure
washers are between girder chair baseplate and end link.
3. Secure washers and upper end link to girder chair baseplate with customer-provided hardware.
4. Place lower end link and two stacked washers over fulcrum stand baseplate (Position B). Be sure washers
are positioned between end link and fulcrum stand baseplate.
