The following instructions describe the installation of rail sections on the Survivor ® RT .
1. Cut rail sections using 45

mitered rail head cuts at the weighrail and approach rail transitions.
Figure 2-9. Mitered rail head cuts location
2. Set rail support plates over embedded anchor bolts on the approach foundation.
3. Set weigh rails and approach rails onto the rail support plates.
4. Shim and align rails to match elevation of scale and set the desired grade.
Option: Install jam nuts under approach rail support plates to act as a leveling device.
5. Install rail clips and secure rails in place.
6. Install anti-creep rail anchors.
2.3 Grouting
Prior to grouting, re-check all weighbridge and rail alignment, levels, and elevations.
1. Use a 9000 psi epoxy-type grout under the load cell base plates, and a non-shrink cement-type grout under
the approach and center section rail support plates.
Do not grout under the longitudinal brackets or side check brackets.
2. After grout has hardened, tighten/torque nuts on all anchor bolts.
