4 Summit 3000 Installation Manual
2.4 Assembly
The following paragraphs give instructions for adjusting the scale feet and anchor plate.
2.4.1 Adjust feet
The scale feet are secured with a jam nut (located next to each load cell) for load cell protection during shipping.
Figure 2-2. Jam Nut Location on Scale Foot
Jam nut must be loosened prior to adjusting scale feet.
Screw one foot into each load cell and turn until each foot touches either the load cell or the underside of the
deck. Then unscrew each foot three complete turns.
Place a spirit level on the deck. Adjust any high corners until they just contact the floor surface. When all feet are
in contact with the floor, check the deck with the spirit level to be sure the scale is within 1/4 inch of level.
2.4.2 Anchor Plate Installation
For permanent applications, the anchor plate should be secured to the floor to prevent sideways movement of the
scale. Two mild steel floor anchor plates, with holes that slightly exceed the foot diameter, are available as an
option for that purpose.
Lift the scale so that the feet are approximately one inch off the floor. Slide mounting plates under two diagonally
opposed feet. Lower the scale back to the floor and position the plates so that the boltdown holes are accessible
from above, as shown in Figure 2-3 .
Using the mounting plates as templates, drill pilot holes into the floor for suitable anchor bolts. Bolt the plates to
the floor using 1/2 inch anchor bolts. Recheck foot adjustment and deck level after this operation.
For installations using access ramps, mounting plates are not necessary as the ramps have
built-in mounting plates to secure the scale feet.
