3 Installation
Locate
Place the 2888 Deckmate in the desired location after inspecting the site
per Chapter 2 of this manual.
Remove Platform
Remove scale platform from the frame by lifting the platform straight up
from the frame.
Anchor Frame
Locate the anchor holes in all four corners of the frame. There are a total
of 8 anchor holes (2 per corner). (see Figure 3-a).
Drill the anchor holes using the frame as a guide. Eight 1/2"-13 UNC x
1-1/2" long flat head socket cap screws are required to secure the frame
to floor. The 1/2" anchors and 1/2-13 flat head screws are to be
provided by others or can be purchased from Mettler Toledo. Drill
anchor holes to a diameter and depth per the supplier's instructions.
All corners of the frame must be in contact with the floor and be level
within plus or minus 1/16". If the scale is out-of-level or gaps exist
between the frame and floor, shimming is required.
Corner shims (1/16" thick) can be purchased from Mettler Toledo or
fabricated using Figure 3-b as a guide.
