5. Remove forms and backfill for proper drainage. A slope away from the scale
is recommended.
 Allow concrete to cure for 28 days or until a test cylinder indicates the
concrete has reached its design strength before allowing traffic on the scale.
MODULE ASSEMBLY
The Tracker scale is shipped as a bundle of steel beams and hardware that are
ready to be assembled on the jobsite.
Lay Out the Foundation
1. Determine the centerline of the foundation and mark that line along the length of
the scale with a chalk line.
2. Measure from the centerline to establish the centerlines of the load cells and the
centerlines of the anchor locations. Mark these along the length of the scale with
a chalk line as well. Reference the certified print for load cell locations and anchor
locations.
3. Place base plates into approximate locations. Have locating tools and shoring
timbers ready at each location. Load cell assemblies will be moved into final
position only after the deck concrete is cured.
