3 Level the plates with shims. Leave the stack of shims exposed until all
leveling has been completed (this will allow the addition or removal of
shims if necessary).
4 If the installation must meet CALIFORNIA OSHPD, tension proof load
testing is required on 50 percent of the anchor bolts. These anchors must
be tested to 24,020 newtons (5400 pounds) tension and 122
newton-meters (90 foot-pounds) torque. Any failure requires testing of
all remaining anchors.
