Assemble Deck Modules 9
3.3 Raise Deck and Level with Approaches
Use the following steps to raise and level the weigh modules with the concrete approach:
1. Beginning at the approach (left) end of module A, raise the scale deck using low-profile hydraulic jacks.
Add shims on the setting blocks until the deck surface is level with the approach. Move to the opposite end
of module A, and raise and level this end.
Figure 3-7. Leveling Deck with Approaches
2. When all four corners of the A module are leveled, check the module for being square with the approach
and that it has a 3/4" end clearance from the concrete bulkhead.
3. Move to the B module and continue leveling the weighbridge by leveling the load cell mount end of the B
module.
4. Raise, level, and shim any other B modules if they are installed. When the B module or modules are done,
continue by leveling the C module in the same manner.
Figure 3-8. Check Weighbridge for Level
5. When all modules are leveled and shimmed, check the edge alignment with a stringline or a level along
one side of the main beam. Also, check the module support pins to see if they are firmly seated in the
pin-connection receptacles
.
6. As a final check, make sure that the weighbridge end clearance is within specified requirements. The deck
is now at its final position and ready for load cell mount installation.
If transit is used to level scale, the procedure in Section 3.3 on page 9 could be accomplished while installing
shims in Section 3 of the manual.
