1.0 Introduction
This manual is intended for use by technicians responsible for installing and servicing the SURVIVOR ® OTR
series truck scale. The OTR truck scale is designed so that on-site installation time is reduced as much as possible.
A well-organized, experienced installation crew should be able to install a standard 70' x 11' OTR truck scale in
one day.
This booklet covers the OTR steel deck and concrete deck flattop truck scale installation procedures. Use
these instructions as general installation guidelines unless the engineering drawings furnished with your scale
differ from the instructions in this booklet. Engineering drawings furnished with your scale always take priority
over these general installation guidelines.
Refer to the engineering drawings furnished with the scale for all component numbering sequences.
