Rice Lake Truck Scales - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction 1
1.0 Introduction
This manual is intended for use by technicians responsible for installing and servicing the SR series truck scale.
You will find that the SR truck scale has been designed so that your on-site installation time is reduced as much as
possible. A well-organized, experienced installation crew should be able to install a typical 70’x 11’ truck scale in
one day.*
* These estimated times may vary.
This booklet covers all SR–Series truck scale installations. Use these instructions as general installation
guidelines unless the blueprints furnished with the specific scale ordered directly contradict this instruction
booklet. Blueprints furnished with the specific scale always take priority over these generic SR–Series
installation guidelines.
Refer to the blueprints furnished with the scale for all component numbering sequences.
