Leveling/Shimming using Leveling Top
Adapter Plate, Leveling Base Adapter Plate,
and the Anyadapter Plate
1. Based on the Weight Distribution Chart and visual
inspection, raise the leveling nut to adjust the top plate
until the weight distribution falls within the weight
distribution guidelines (See page 3-4). Check for gaps and
use shims as required.
2. Gently lower the vessel and measure the dead weight
output and the output change of all of the Load Discs
to see how they are affected. (See Weight Distribution
Chart page 3-3.)
3. Repeat Steps 1and 2 until you have achieved the
desired output change of all of the Load Discs.
Note: Shimming the plates of
one Load Disc will probably
affect the weight distribution
on the Load Disc located on
the opposite side. Keep this in
mind while shimming.
CAUTION: If you need to
raise the vessel or one
vessel leg after installation,
loosen the bolts on all Load
Discs to prevent overload-
