4.6. Installation of Foot Plates and Ramps
Two Foot Plates are included with the Floor Scale. Ramps are available separately. Installation of Floor Plates or Ramps is optional
but must be done before final placement of the Floor Scale. Refer to Figures 5 and 6 for mounting of the Foot Plates and Ramps.
Figure 5. Optional Ramp Installation Figure 6. Foot Plate
Notes: 1. For the Expanding Bolts (included) drill 0.5” (12.5mm) holes into the solid floor surface. Depth must equal bolt length.
2. The required Ramp & Foot Plate center to center dimensions W, L and C are shown in Table 6.
3. Installation of Foot Plates in a diagonal arrangement provides optimal prevention of platform movement.
4. Before tightening the expanding bolts pretest the installation by temporarily positioning the platform over the foot holes.
5. When properly positioned the feet must rest within the holes of the Ramps or Foot Plates.
6. Ensure that a free air gap always exists between the sides of the platform and the edges of the installed Ramps.
