D. Foundation
Before installing any part of the scale, the foundation must be checked for accuracy
using Foundation Inspection, Field Check List, FF-2267 / 101732 (see Appendix I).
a. Layout and position the base plates in the proper locations using the
Methods & Procedures and Certified prints. Each base plate must be level
and in full contact with the top of the pier. Adjustments can be made by
chipping the concrete or grouting under the base plates.
b. Re-check the locations of each base plate against the certified prints.
• Insert two ½" roll pins into each lower cup for anti-rotation.
c. Grease and install the inner "O" ring in each load cell cup if they are not
already installed. On all cups, grease the large outer "O" rings, then install
one in the groove on the outside of each cup. Put a 3 /
16
" shim on the
lower cups, grease the outsides, and insert them into the base plates.
Lower cups for 5½" load cells have a pin which must be aligned between
the two roll pins in the base plate.
d. Place the upper cup with greased "O" ring on the edge of the upper
foundation next to each base plate.
e. Place the load cell locating tool next to each base plate.
A. Setting the modules - Preparing the modules for lifting
• The modules do not have integrated lifting channels. One (1) set
of lifting eye bolts (threaded eye bolts) is provided by Fairbanks.
• Thread and bolt lifting eye bolts at each corner of the module for
proper lifting.
WARNING! Lift only as shown in drawing below on
left side. NEVER with a fork lift beneath the panel!
Lift ONLY as shown below! Do NOT lift panels with a fork lift!
