2-R: Check Rods:

1: Check rods allow for vertical movement in order to transfer weight force to the load cells
but they do not allow for lateral or side movement. Prepare the check rods, special convex /
concave washer sets, and hardware for installation. Clean the threads with a wire brush,
using a thread file to restore any damaged threads. Lightly grease the threads, and ensure
the threads are clean and in good condition by running a threaded nut up and down the full
threads of the checkrods.
