Adjusting leveling nuts and/or shimming on one Load
Stand

affects the weight distribution on all Load Stands.
Installation of the Load Stand
®
II
2. Shimming.
a) Raise the vessel legs for the low output load
stands.
b) Raise or lower the load stand with the leveling nuts
or add shim(s) above the rubber pad as required
adjusting the distribution of weight on the Load
Stands. Raising the leveling nuts and/or adding
shims increases the weight on the Load Stand.
Lowering the leveling nuts and removing shims
decreases the weight on the Load Stand.
Caution
Loosen the top bolts of all the Load Stands before raising
the vessel.
c) Slowly lower the vessel leg onto the Load Stand
®
assembly.
d) Repeat Step 1, rechecking the output of all the Load
Stands and recalculating the Output Change (dead
weight output - no-load output).
e) Repeat Steps 2A through 2D until the installation
meets the criteria for weight distribution.
3. Complete Installation: Once the vessel is level, complete
the installation:
a) Tighten the nuts on the anchor bolts per the local
code.
b) Verify readings.
c) Tighten the nuts on the upper bolts 1/2 to 1 turns
past finger tight. This will compress the rubber
washers and rubber pad.
d) Apply double nut, adhesive or spoil the upper bolts
and anchor bolts to prevent loosening of the nuts.
e) Pack grout or concrete under the Load Stand. Do not
grout above the bottom edge of the Load Stand
®
assembly.
f) Replace the junction box cover if not ready to begin
wiring the junction boxes together and to the signal
processor, to ensure no moisture enters the box.
