RoughDeck PW-1 Installation Manual

Unpacking
Remove all packing material and inspect the scale for damage possibly caused during shipment. Contact Rice Lake
Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately if there is damage to the scale.
All
RoughDeck PW-1
models have eye bolts in the end of the deck for use when lifting the scale with chains and a
spreader bar.
Lift the scale only with a properly designed spreader bar as shown in Figure 2-1.
Lifting force must be vertical to avoid bending the eye bolts.

Assembly
The following sections describe the assembly of the components of the
RoughDeck PW-1
scale.
2.4.1
Adjusting Feet
The scale feet are shipped detached from the load cells for load cell protection during shipping. The feet are
secured to the shipping pallet along with the load cell cable and product literature.
1. Unpack all parts.
2. Ensure each foot is screwed in until the foot touches either the load cell or the underside of the deck; then,
unscrew each foot three complete turns.
3. Place a spirit level on the deck.
4. Adjust corners not contacting the floor by unscrewing the feet on those corners until they just contact the
floor surface.
5. When all the feet are in contact with the floor, check the deck with the spirit level to ensure the scale is
within 1/4'' of level.
2.4.2
Mounting Plate Installation
The scale should be secured to the floor to prevent sideways movement for permanent applications. Two optional
mounting plates, with holes slightly exceeding the foot diameter, are available for that purpose.
1. Lift the scale until the feet are approximately 1'' off the floor.
2. Slide the mounting plates under two diagonally opposed feet.
3. Lower the scale back to the floor and position the plates as shown in Figure 2-2 with the boltdown holes
