a. Raise the vessel legs for the low output load stands.
b. Raise or lower the leveling nuts or add shim(s) above the rubber pad as required adjusting the
distribution of weight on the Load Stands. Raising the leveling nuts and/or adding shims increases
the weight on the Load Stand. Lowering the leveling nuts decreases the weight on the Load Stand.
note: Adjusting leveling nuts and/or shimming on one Load Stand affects the weight distribution on all Load Stands.
c. Slowly lower the vessel leg onto the Load Stand assembly.
d. Repeat Step 1, rechecking the output of all the Load Stands and recalculating the Output Change
(dead weight output - no-load output).
e. Repeat Steps 2A through 2D until the installation meets the criteria for weight distribution.
3. Complete Installation: Once the vessel is level, complete the installation:
a. Tighten the nuts on the anchor bolts per the local code.
b. Verify readings.
c. Tighten the nuts on the upper bolts 1/2 turns past finger
tight. This will compress the rubber washers and rubber pad.
d. Apply threadlocker to the upper bolts and anchor bolts to
prevent loosening of the nuts.
e. Pack grout or concrete under the Load Stand. Do not grout
above the bottom edge of the Load Stand assembly.
f. Replace the junction box cover if not ready to begin
wiring the junction boxes together and to the signal
processor, to ensure no moisture enters the box.
