E. A direct read load scale, as shown in
FIGURE 1, is affixed to the load tube which
houses the main spring. An indicator, also
shown in FIGURE 1, is affixed to the center of
the side plate. Increased or decreased load
settings can be determined by correlating the
position of the indicator to the desired load
as read from the load scale. The original load
setting is marked with an x on the load
scale in the shop. When load adjustment is
completed, tighten lock nuts on the load
adjustment bolts.

1.9 Commissioning
Before commissioning it must be checked
that each hanger allows the expected piping
movement. The hanger travel can be read
directly from the position of the blocking pin
in the guide slots of the travel scale. If
required, for example when carrying out
revisions, hangers and supports can be
blocked again in any travel position. This is
done by mounting and securing the blocking
plates onto the blocking bolt.

2.4 Installation
When installing, the rules given in
Installation Instructions for Piping must also
be observed. Special care must also be given
to the installed position of the connecting
rods over the whole support chain. Two
possibilities are the norm:
