Installation
The following sections explain how to unpack and properly install the RoughDeck FXB flexure lever floor scale.
2.1 Unpacking the FXB
Use the following steps to unpack the FXB.
1. Remove the banding straps and open the shipping crate.
Do not remove the scale from the packing skid by placing forks from a forklift under the base assembly
unless the scale is equipped with optional forklift skids. Moving the scale without skids can damage the load
cell and connections.
2. Remove the top plate and deck frame.
For small units the top plate and deck frame are welded together and can be lifted by hand. For larger units use
fasteners to attach the top plate and deck frame together and use eye bolts to lift, depending on its size.
3. Lift scale base from the wooden pallet by connecting eye bolts (not included) into threaded holes in the side channels
of the scale.
Figure 2-1. Proper Lifting Technique
Lift the scale only with a properly designed spreader bar.
Lifting force must be vertical to avoid bending the eye bolts. Eye bolts should have a safety rating that will
handle the weight of the scale that is being lifted.
Eye bolts must always be inserted into the top of the scale. Lifting should always occur with the top plate facing
up and the eye bolts securely attached through the nuts welded to the bottom side of the top plate. Lifting from
the bottom of the plate could cause nuts to break loose and the scale to fall.
4. Remove weigh platform deck plate by removing four counter sunk screws from the top of the scale.
5. Remove the weigh platform frame.
