INITIAL SETUP AND OPERATION

1. Carefully unpack scale from shipping carton. Save packing material for possible future use.
2. If the level legs are included separately, then screw one into each corner underneath the scale. If the level legs are already
screwed into the platform, they MUST be unscrewed and extended out so they can hold the platform above ground.
3. Place scale on a level surface and adjust the level legs so that all four legs are touching the surface.
4. If your scale comes equipped with ramps, fix them to the floor using the mounting holes provided. This way the ramp will
not move during normal use. Be careful not to let the scale platform rub up against the ramp or any other surface, as this
would cause non-repeatability of other inaccuracies.
5. Plug into 117 VAC wall outlet. (If your model comes with the optional 24V DC input, please insert the appropriate power
supply). For non-battery pack equipped scales, wait for the weight screen to show up. For battery pack equipped scales, the
screen will remain blank until you press the ON/OFF key. To shut the scale down, press and hold the ON/OFF key until the
display blanks out.
6. Allow a five-minute warm-up time for stabilization and most accurate results. Items can be placed anywhere on the
platform for weighing, but for heavy items, it is advisable to place them near the center. Many models are equipped with
shock absorbers and positive overload stops for protection. However, care should be taken to not shock load the load-cells.
It is normal for a small amount of drift to occur over periods of time. For the most accurate readings, the scale may re-
acquire a true zero by pressing the ZERO button prior to weighing.
