4.2 Mount Block and Shim (Groutless) Installation (Option 1)
Use the following procedure for installing mount blocks and shims for leveling.
RLWS has a shim plate (PN 67292) available to level scale. Do not exceed over 3/4" of shims combined. If more
is necessary, contact RLWS for other options.
Figure 4-5. Sample Shim Dimensions
1. Apply anti-seize compound to threads of mount block bolts.
2. Install one bolt through welded block into upper mount block.
3. Add or remove shims until radius of block comes in contact with rocker link radius.
Figure 4-6. Shim Installation (Option 1)
4. Install second bolt assembly through blocks and shims, then torque to 55 ft-lb. Repeat process on all load
cell pockets.
Position the slotted end of shim towards shorter end of load cell pocket. This allows more room to work when
adding or removing shims.
5. Recheck the link for any binding or misalignment and ensure that the link is plumb in respect to the upper
blocks. Also, check that the link is centered between the side of the link and the upper blocks.
If needed, tap the edge of the baseplate with a hammer to make minor adjustments in alignment .
