Leveling the Floor-Standing Load Frame
Installation
Leveling the Floor-Standing Load Frame
Level the 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.

The following items are required:
• Spirit or bubble level
• 8# hex key wrench for C44 model
• 10# hex key wrench for C45.105 and C45.504W model
• 24# open-end wrench for C45.305 model
• 28# open-end wrench for C45.605 model
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 using the open-end wrench.
3. Using hex key wrench or 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 using
the socket wrench.
