Hardy Floor Scales
4
Test Criteria
Must exclude at least 65 GPM of water from 1” inch
nozzle delivered from a distance not less than 10 ft for
5 minutes.
UNPACKING
Hardy Floor Scales are shipped fully assembled and
wired. Inspect the container for any signs of damage
that might occur during shipment. Since almost all of
the Floor Scales are shipped F.O.B. factory, such dam-
age is normally the responsibility of the carrier and
should be reported to them.
Step 1. Remove the banding straps and any ship-
ping restraints.
WARNING DO NOT USE HOOKS OR UNCLOSED EYE-
BOLTS OR ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE SCALE
MANUALLY. FAILURE TO USE THE PROPER
LIFTING TOOLS OR LIFTING METHODS CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
Step 2. Screw 2 closed eye bolts into the threaded
holes on the top plate of the scale. (See
Fig. 1)
• Mild Steel - 1/2 - 13 x 1.5” (Hardy Model
Number HIFSEB-PS)
Step 3. Attach a chain, cable or nylon strap to the
eyebolts.
Step 4. Use a forklift or crane with rated lifting
capacity that is equal to or greater than the
total weight of the platform scale to lift the
scale high enough to remove from the
crate bottom. See Tables 2 & 3 for ship-
ping weights.
Step 5. Be sure to use all safety precautions when
lifting the platform so that it does not fall
on equipment or personnel. It is highly
recommended that blocks be placed under
the platform before working near the plat-
form scale.
