• The A.A.R. requires that if grout extends beyond the base plate, it must be sloped away
from the base plates and stands so that water will not pool and saturate the metal, thereby
rusting it. The form may be larger than the base or stand by about 3" on all sides.
*When grout is firm but can still be shaped, remove the forms and angle all four sides of the
grout and away from the base plate or stand.
• The grout should be cured according to the manufacturer’s recommendations on the pack-
age. For any unusual conditions, call the manufacturer for guidance.
• When the grout is fully cured, remove base plate leveling screws completely and discard,
then fill the empty holes with silicon caulking. Tighten all load cell base plate pier bolt nuts.
