3.3 Raise Deck and Level with Approaches
Use the following steps to raise and level the weigh modules with the concrete approach:
1. Beginning at the approach (left) end of the
A
module, raise the scale deck using low-profile hydraulic jacks.
2. Add shims on the setting blocks until the deck surface is level with the approach.
3. Move to the opposite end of the
A
module and raise and level this end.
Figure 3-7. Leveling Deck with Approaches
4. When all four corners of the
A
module are leveled, ensure the module is square with the approach and that it has a
3/4'' end clearance from the concrete bulkhead.
5. Move to the
B
module and continue leveling the weighbridge by leveling the load cell mount end of the
B
module.
6. Raise, level, and shim any other
B
modules if they are installed.
7. When the
B
module or modules are done, continue by leveling the
C
module in the same manner.
Figure 3-8. Check Weighbridge for Level
8. When all modules are leveled and shimmed, check the edge alignment with a string line or a level along one side of
the main beam.
9. Check the module support pins to ensure they are firmly seated in the pin-connection receptacles
.
10.
E
nsure the weighbridge end clearance is within specified requirements.
11. The deck is now at its final position and ready for load cell mount installation.
This procedure could be accomplished while installing the shims if transit is used to level scale (
).
