Leveling the Load Frame
Leveling the Table-Top Load Frame
Level the table-top load frame immediately after you position it for installation.
This prevents the base from rocking and provides a level test surface for more
accurate test results.
Equipment
The following items are required:
• Spirit or bubble level
• Open-end wrench
Procedure
To level the frame base:
1. Place a spirit or bubble level on the center of the base beam.
2. Loosen the top nut on each leveling foot.
3. Using an open-end wrench, alternately adjust the height of each leveling
foot while you monitor the spirit or bubble level reading.
4. Rotate the spirit or bubble level 90° to verify that the load frame is level side
to side and front to back.
5. When the machine is level, tighten the top nut on each leveling foot.
