Installation

For a Level Concrete Floor Foundation:
Lower the weigh structure back onto the foundation so that the base plate mounting
holes line up with the holes that were drilled in the concrete. Insert a wedge-design
expansion anchor bolt into each base plate mounting hole (see Figure 9-4). Follow the
anchor bolt manufacturer’s instructions regarding the size and depth of holes and
recommended torque values.

For an Unlevel Concrete Floor Foundation:
Install threaded epoxy inserts or J-bolts in the foundation to support the base plates.
Place leveling nuts and washers beneath the base plates to adjust for level. Keep the
space between each base plate and the concrete floor to a minimum, and fill it with a
nonshrink, epoxy grout once all base plates are level and in the same plane (see Figure
9-5).

Note: If you use J-bolt anchors, you
will need to place them in the
concrete accurately before attaching
the weigh modules to the weigh
structure supports. Make sure that
the weigh structure support holes
allow room for adjustment so that
the modules can be aligned
properly.
