Application & Conformity The Following are instructions of how to correctly use the weight scale: The weighing scale may only be used for the weighing of solid-materials and of liquids filled into secure containers. The maximum capacity of the weighing scale must never be exceeded; otherwise the weighing scale may be damaged.
Getting Started The scale is packaged in an environmentally-friendly carton, which provides optimum protection for the balance during transportation. We suggest that you keep the original packaging in order to avoid damage if you are shipping or transporting the scale to a different location. It is also the best way to keep it in the best conditions if it will not be used for an extended period of time.
Assembly & Installation The weighing scale is delivered in a partly dismantled condition. Assemble the individual components in the following sequence: Place your machine on a level, clean, and dry surface to obtain accurate readings. Place the stainless steel platters on top of the plastic platter with the flat side facing up.
The balance is fitted with one bubble level, and adjustable feet for level-control that allow for small height differences or any unevenness in the surface on which the balance is placed. The screw feet must be adjusted so that the air bubble is precisely in the center of the sight glass of the bubble level (see Fig.1) Place the scale horizontally and keep the bubble inside the bubble level aligned with the circle (Fig.1).
