Above: Preparing forms for the slab, upon which the 2000 Series Rail Module(s) will be
installed.
Use only certified prints that are marked for the particular installation, customer, and scale.
All the dimensions indicated on the certified prints must be rigidly and faithfully followed dur-
ing
all phases of construction. There is very little tolerance for misplacements and mistakes.
Pier heights are especially critical as there must be enough space for finishing grout under all
stands (per certified drawings) while rails on the scale weighbridge and approach rail must be
absolutely level.
Placement of foundation bolts is absolutely critical to the successful installation of the scale.
The use of a template or form that matches the design called for can be used. Foundation
bolts must NOT be installed at an angle, too deep, or too shallow. Very close tolerances must
be met on all aspects of pit construction.
NOTE: The installation and finishing of poured concrete is best left to trained, well equipped,
and experienced personnel.

The use of a form to securely hold the threaded pier bolts in the correct position is highly rec-
ommended.
For exact dimensions, refer to the CERTIFIED PRINT.
