8 Operation limits The platform is designed so robust that a casual excess of the maximum weighing load will not cause any damage. The static carrying capacity, i.e. the maximum admitted load depends on the type of load carrier (Position A – C). The maximum static carrying capacity must not be exceeded.
9 Servicing, maintenance, disposal Before any maintenance, cleaning and repair work disconnect the appliance from the operating voltage. 9.1 Cleaning Clean the platform with a soft cloth soaked with a mild cleaning agent. Remove the weighing plate and wipe-off the dirt and the foreign bodies under it. Do not use hard or sharp objects for this.
10 Instant help for troubleshooting In case of an error in the program process, briefly turn off the balance and disconnect from power supply. The weighing process must then be restarted from the beginning. Help: Fault Possible cause • Draught/air movement The displayed weight is permanently changing •...
