Installation
Mount the Bracket Assembly
1. Remove all bolts connecting the leg to the footpad. Loosen the original
anchor bolt but leave it intact at the bottom of the footpad. The footpad
can and should be removed if it is binding or interfering with lifting the
leg. (
Figure 1
)
2. Remove the
1/2”
bolts from the C-channel adapter of the bracket
assembly and set them aside for now.
3. Adjust the top bolt on the bracket assembly so the C-channel is
approximately
3/4”
between the top of the C-channel and the bracket.
4. Mark the holes of the C-channel on the leg and drill using
1/2”
drill bit.
(
Figure 2
)
5. Put the bolts in from the C-channel side through the leg. Place a washer
and Nyloc nut on each bolt and hand-tighten.
6. Position the bracket assembly so that it is
3/8”
away from the bin leg and
the C-channel is centered under the load cell.
Failure to properly align the bracket may cause the load
cell to fail.
7. Hand-tighten the top bolt on the bracket assembly to make sure the
bracket is straight and to keep it in place.
8. Tighten C-channel bolts to 33 ft-lbs. of torque. Make sure the
bracket does not move during tightening.
Lift the Bin
9. Using a marker, place a line the top of the bolt. (
Figure 3
)
10. Tighten all the lifting bolts 1 or 2 full turns at a time until each leg
is at 8 turns.
11. There must be a
½”
(+/-
1/8”) gap underneath each leg when
lifting is complete. (
Figure 4
)
12. The top of the C-channel
MUST NOT
be up against the bracket
assembly: a clearance of 1/4
”
(+/-
1/8”) must be maintained.
(
Figure 5
)
13. Be sure to check height of each leg and verify the bracket is not
touching the leg.
Figure 1: Remove bolts from bin leg
IMPORTANT: MOUNT THE BRACKET ASSEMBLY ONE (1) LEG AT A TIME.
DETACHING MORE THAN ONE LEG AT A TIME COULD ALLOW THE BIN TO TIP
OVER. INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT!
