Assembly Instructions
fter all components have been identified, locate a fairly level area to initiate assembly –
keeping in mind that several feet on the “entry” side of the platform will be needed for the
car. llow for additional room on the exit side of the platform if using down ramps.
NOTE: If assembling on a soft or unstable surface, lywood or similar material
should be laced under the leveling feet to revent the latform from shifting
or sinking.
NOTE: Do not lower ram feet to the oint where they take weight off of the
ontoons. This will disru t the levelness of the entire rack system.
1. Screw the leveling feet into the threaded leveling inserts on the bottom of each
pontoon and bridge. Position each pontoon in its approximate final position. Be sure
all feet are screwed in as far as possible, without protruding through the top of the
platform.
2. Level the pontoon that is perceived to have the highest corner of the two pontoons.
Using a level adjust the four outside feet on the pontoon until you have a level
condition from both left to right and front to back.
3. fter the pontoon is level, adjust the inside pontoon feet until the feet are in contact
with the ground.
4. Measure and adjust the bridges for proper wheel base for the vehicle you are
weighing. Measure from the center of each pontoon for proper wheel base
measurement.
5. Install the “bridges” between the pontoons moving the pontoon that you have not
leveled to reach the proper distance of the bridges. Ensure the two bridges are put in
the proper connection slots to accommodate the vehicle’s track width.
6. Verify that the pontoon previously leveled is still level.
7. Place one of the targets in the Intercomp leveling system and place it on one of the
pads on the leveled pontoon and the other targets on the pads of the other pontoon.
8. Place the laser level pad without the target of the leveled pontoon. djust the feet of
the laser level to align the laser to a reference line on the target of the leveled
pontoon.
9. djust the leveling feet on the unleveled pontoon until the laser line is on the same
reference line on all three targets. djust all of the feet on the pontoons to ensure
they are all in contact with the ground.
10. Install the on-ramps and front roll-offs/down ramps ensuring they are set to
accommodate the track width of the vehicle and adjust their feet until they come in
contact with the ground.
11. Install the cabled pins on the bridges, ramps, and roll offs.
12. Refer to the scales manual for proper set-up and operation of the scales.
13. Turn the scales on. The switch is on the outside of the battery compartment. Refer to
battery replacement below for location.
14. The system is now ready for operation.
