Section 2: Installation

A. General Service Policy

Prior to installation, it must be verified that the equipment will satisfy the customer's
requirements as supplied, and as described in this manual. If the equipment cannot satisfy the
application and the application cannot be modified to meet the design parameters of the
equipment, the installation should not be attempted.

It is the customer/operator's responsibility to ensure the equipment provided by Fairbanks is
operated within the parameters of the equipment's specifications and protected from accidental
or malicious damage. Other than the procedures authorized in the Operating manual, no
service, repair, or adjustments may be performed by unauthorized / untrained service
personnel. Any unauthorized repairs will void any verbal, implied, or written warranties.

B.

Overview

1. These instructions apply to the floor scale and its specific installation
procedures. The procedures for instruments, printers and other peripherals are
given in manuals specifically provided for those units.

2. All mechanical calibrations and or adjustments required to make this equipment
perform to accuracy and operational specifications are considered to be part of
the installation, and are included in the installation charge. Only those charges
which are incurred as a result of the equipment's inability to be adjusted or
calibrated to performance specifications may be charged to warranty.

3. Absolutely no physical or electrical modifications are to be made to this
equipment. Electrical connections other than those specified may not be
performed, and physical alterations (holes, etc.) are not allowed.

4. Before the installation is considered complete, the equipment is to be calibrated
to meet or exceed any applicable weights and measures requirements, if
applicable. The installing technician is responsible to make certain customer
personnel are fully trained and familiar with the capabilities and limitations of the
equipment. Be prepared to recommend the arrangement of components which
will provide the most efficient layout, utilizing the equipment to the best possible
advantage. The warranty policy must be explained and reviewed with the
customer.

Unpacking

1. Check that all components are on hand, and agree with the customer's order.

2. Remove all components from their packing material, checking to make certain

that all parts are accounted for and no parts are damaged. Advise the shipper
immediately if damage has occurred. Order any parts necessary to replace
those which have been damaged. Keep the shipping container and packing
material for future use. Check the packing list.

3. Collect all necessary installation manuals.

4. Perform an inspection, making certain all hardware and electrical connections are

secure.

D. Safety

As is the case with any material handling equipment, certain safety precautions should be
observed during operation:

1. Never load the platform beyond its rated capacity. Refer to the rating on the serial
number plate of the platform.

2. Ensure that any structure which supports the platform is capable of withstanding
the weight of the platform plus its rated capacity load.

3. Do not load the platform if there is any evidence of damage to the platform or
supporting structure.

4. Use safety chains or other suitable restraining devices if there is any possibility of
the load shifting, falling, or rolling from its position on the platform.
