6. Place the load cell and load link assembly onto the two stands of the base stand and screw in the load cell mounting
bolts (finger tight). The loose bolts allow free movement for better weighing accuracy.

7. Adjust the load link so it is vertical and centered side to side (in a balance condition). If the load link is not vertical and
centered side to side, adjust the base stand.
8. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the load cell bolts before installing. Torque load cell bolts 40 ft-lb
lubricated or 55 ft-lb dry.
2.2 Mount Block and Grout Installation
Use the following steps to install mount blocks and baseplate grout.
9. Adjust the leveling bolts until the radius of the block comes in contact with the rock link radius.
10. Jack up the weigh module and remove the setting blocks.
11. Slowly lower the weigh module until it rests on the load cell links.
After the weigh module is lowered into its final position, check each load cell mount assembly to ensure that the link
plumb and that there is no binding or misalignment.
12. Use an individual hammer drill to drill a 3/4" hole into the concrete at least 6" deep on one side of the mount frame.
13. Drill a second anchor bolt hole on the opposite side of the mount frame.
14. Each mount requires two anchor bolts to prevent longitudinal motion of the baseplate. Anchor bolts (7" x 3/4") with
expansion heads are supplied with the scale.
15. Insert the bolts into drilled holes in the foundation.
16. Install one washer and one nut on each anchor bolt. Place a driver pipe on top of the anchor bolt and use the long
punch to seat the anchor bolts against the baseplate.
Do not apply excessive force to the anchor bolts; bending of the baseplate could occur.
When installing anchor bolts, make sure that there is adequate bolt length to extend into the concrete.
17. Attach one end of the ground strap to the upper block.
18. Insert a bolt through the wire terminal on the loose end and thread the bolt into the hole on the baseplate. Tighten the
bolt securely with a wrench.
19. Pour 9000 PSI, non-shrinking, epoxy or cement grout under and around the baseplate. A funnel with a long tube can
be used to pour grout under and around the baseplate while working from above the access hole.
20. Grout should be allowed to set for a minimum of 24 hours before removing the wooden forms.
21. After the grout has hardened, tighten anchor bolt nuts.
