Assemble Deck Modules
Deck modules are designated as
A
,
B
or
C
. All two-module scales have an
A
and
C
module, while longer scales with more
than two modules have one or more
B
modules.
The modules are marked as A, B, or C on the end of each module for identification during placement and assembly.
Figure 3-1. Deck Modules
A Module
The
A
module is an end module and is the first to be placed on setting blocks. The left end is a straight end which is positioned
next to the vertical wall of the concrete approach. The right end of the
A
module contains two pin-connection receptacles that
are used to accept the two module-support pins located on the
B
module.
B Module
The
B
module is a center module, it has two module-support pins on the left end and two pin-connection receptacles on the
right end. The two module-support pins of module
B
are inserted into the two pin-connection receptacles of module
A
.
The pin-connection receptacles of module
B
accept the module-support pins from another
B
module or a
C
module.
C Module
The
C
module is an end module and the last one placed on setting blocks. The two module-support pins are designed to attach
to either an
A
module for a two-module installation or to a
B
module for an installation that has more than two modules.
The opposite end of the
C
module is a straight end and is positioned next to the vertical wall of the concrete approach.

A
module is the top module,
followed by
B
modules and the
C
module is the bottom module.
