Introduction The Summit 3000 floor scale provides exceptional performance and is an economical solution in light industrial applications. The scale is a fully electronic, low profile floor scale that comes in sizes from 36'' x 36'' (914 mm x 914 mm) to 60'' x 60'' (1524 mm x 1524 mm), and capacities from 2000 to 10,000 lb (1000 to 5000 kg).
Do not operate or work on this equipment unless this manual has been read and all instructions are understood. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact any Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer for replacement manuals.
Installation Installation The following sections describe the correct installation procedures for the Summit 3000 floor scale. Scale Location The scale must never be loaded beyond its capacity, even momentarily. IMPORTANT • Select a site where overweight loads can maneuver easily without crossing the platform.
Summit 3000 Low-Profile Floor Scale Adjust feet The scale feet are secured with a jam nut (located next to each load cell) during shipping to protect the load cells. 1. Loosen the jam nut. 2. Screw one foot into each load cell and turn until each foot touches either the load cell or the underside of the deck.

11. Check all strain relief fittings for tightness. 12. Put the cover back onto the junction box assembly and place the junction box back into the floor scale cutout. 13. Secure the Summit 3000 floor plate. www.RiceLake.com Visit our website...
Installation Pit Frame Concrete Details The Summit 3000 can be installed in a shallow pit using the optional Summit 3000 pit frame. Scale Size 3' x 3' 4' x 4' 4' x 5' 4' x 6' 5' x 5' Note 36.75...
Debris, floor sweepings, or material spills may accumulate in the pit and interfere with scale operation. The pit should periodically be cleaned. All sizes of the Summit 3000 have a threaded hole centrally located for eye bolts so the scale can be easily lifted from the pit.
The indicator must be connected and calibrated, but it does not need to indicate the exact weight value. A test weight is required. The recommended test weight for all Summit 3000 models is 25% of scale capacity: for example, 500 lb for 2000 lb models, 2500 lb for 10,000 lb models.
Summit 3000 Low-Profile Floor Scale Calibration Procedure Refer to the indicator manual to determine correct calibration procedures. It is recommended that the scale be exercised before calibration to be certain that everything is seated. 1. Load the scale to near capacity two or three times.
Summit 3000 Low-Profile Floor Scale Load Cell Replacement Replacement load cells can be ordered from Rice Lake Weighing Systems. Lift the scale with a chain, spreader bar and the provided eyebolt. Remove the foot and the defective load cell. Disconnect load cell cable from the junction box and cut cable ties.
