Leveling the Floor-Standing Load Frame
Installation
Leveling the Floor-Standing Load Frame
Level the load frame immediately after you position it for installation. This
prevents the base from rocking and provides a level test surface for more accurate
test results. The test machine is installed on four adjustable wedge-shaped irons.
By leveling the wedge-shaped irons, you prevent the base from rocking and
provide a level test surface.
Equipment
The following items are required (0.02/1000mm)
• Spirit or bubble level
• Hammer
Procedure
To level the frame base:
1. Place a spirit level on the frame upper base plate.
2. Using the hammer, alternately adjust the height of four wedge-shaped irons
while you monitor the spirit level reading.
3. Level the load frame from front-to-back with the same procedures.
4. Repeat above procedures until the load frame is level from side-to-side and
front-to-back.
