fixture.
Note! Do not attempt to locate and drill mounting holes
without using the drill fixture. The hole pattern must be
precise.
6) Deburr the mounting holes and wipe the mounting area with a
clean rag.
7) Mount the strain link as
shown in Figure 19. Make
certain that the washers
provided with the strain link
kit are placed over the
strain links. Torque the 1/4
x 28 bolts to 150 in-lbs. A
calibrated torque wrench is
the preferred tool to torque
the bolts.
8) Mount the protective cover
box provided in the strain
link kit, if used, centrally
over the strain link. It is
important to mount the cover box before calibration begins.
The cover box mounting holes may slightly change the strain
sensed by the strain links.
5.2.2 Intermediate Weld Pad Mounting
1) Select the desired machine
mounting locations for the
strain links (section 4.2).
2) Remove paint, oil, grease,
etc., to obtain a bare metal
surface slightly larger than
the LST-1000 strain link.
3) Clean the mounting surface
with a solvent, removing all
grease, oil, and other
contaminants.
