Rice Lake SURVIVOR OTR Steel Deck - Manual (Page 10)

6 OTR Truck Scale Assembly Instructions
3.0 Assemble Deck Modules
Deck modules are designated as A, B or C (see Figure 3-1). All two-module scales have an A and C module, while
longer scales with more than two modules have one or more B modules.
The modules are typically marked as A, B, or C on the end of each module for identification during placement
and assembly.
Figure 3-1. OTR Deck Modules
A Module
An A module is an end module and is the first to be placed on setting blocks. The left end is a straight end which is
positioned next to the vertical wall of the concrete approach (see Figure 3-1). The right end of the A module
contains two pin-connection receptacles that are used to accept the two module-support pins located on the B
module.
B Module
The B module is a center module and is similar in design to the A module, with the exception that it has two
module-support pins on the left end and two pin-connection receptacles on the right end (see Figure 3-1). The two
module-support pins of module B are inserted into the two pin-connection receptacles of module A. Also, the
pin-connection receptacles of module B accept the module-support pins from another B module or a C module.
C Module
The C module is also an end module and is the last one placed on setting blocks (see Figure 3-1). The two
module-support pins are designed to attach to either an A module for a two-module installation or to a B module
for an installation that has more than two modules. The opposite end of the C module is a straight end and is
positioned next to the vertical wall of the concrete approach.
Figure 3-2. Weigh Modules Ready for Removal and Installation
Modules have been stacked on the truck for shipping in the order that they are installed (see Figure 3-2). The A
module is the top module, followed by any B modules, and the C module is the bottom module.
