4 Optional Ramp Installation
All standard Model 2158, 2160, and 2162 Vertex floor scales are ramp
accessible from all four sides. Select which side(s) of the scale platform
is to have a ramp attachment.
Prior to reinstalling the platform and after the frame is anchored to the
floor, locate the two holes on the side of the scale frame where the ramp
is to be attached (see Figure 3-c).
Each ramp is shipped complete with an attachment kit of parts including
(2) ramp attachment lugs and (2) 3/8"-16 UNC x 1" long HHCS with
lockwashers for securing lugs to frame.
From the inside of the frame insert the 3/8"-16 UNC x 1” long screws
w/lockwashers into the ramp attachment holes.
Thread the ramp attachment lugs onto the screws until the lugs contact
the outside surface of the frame. Torque the lug attachment screws to 30
ft-lb.
The front plate of the ramp contains two slots that provide a friction type
fit when slid over the attachment lugs. Lift the ramp and align the front
plate slots with the attach lugs. Lower the ramp until the slots are fully
engaged in the attach lug grooves (Check to make sure that the ramp is
stable). Shim under the corners of the ramp if required. Proceed with
installation of the platform (see Figure 3-c for instrument cable access
through ramp).
