Operating Instructions, 09/2016, A5E32605810A-03 

1.

 

Loosen the top nuts 

③

 in several cycles and slowly lower the load bearing implement. 

 

 

 

NOTICE 
Loosening the hexagon nuts 
Only loosen the hexagon nuts in turn in very small steps. During the process, note which 

hexagon nut is loaded and which is not. 
Note: 

•

 

The compact installation units are screwed tight to the brackets. 

•

 

By loosening a hexagon nut, the weight of the bearing implement is distributed 

among the other hexagon nuts and is partially increased. 

Avoid overloading individual hexagon nuts. 

 

2.

 

Rotate the top nuts 

③

 downward. The top plate 

①

 is lying on the load cell 

②

 via the 

pendulum supports. The respective load cell is loaded. 

3.

 

Tighten the nuts 

③

 against the bottom nuts 

④

. In this way, you prevent the nuts 

③

 from 

rotating upwards due to vibrations. 

5.3.6

 

Fixing of second guide element 

Fix the second guide element analogous to the description in Chapter Fixing a guide element 

(or the first one) (Page 41). 

5.3.7

 

Checking the installation 

Check to ensure that the following items are fulfilled after the installation: 

●

 

It must be possible to move the pivot heads of the turnbuckles by hand, they must not be 

tensioned.
