Page 10: Transport And Storage
3. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE 3.1. Delivery check Check the packaging and device upon delivery and inspect for outer signs of damage. If any damage is found, contact the manufacturer’s representative. 3.2. Packaging Please keep all parts of the packaging to use them for potential shipping in the future. Only the original packaging of the balance can be used for shipping. - Page 11 Note: Cleaning the weighing pan while it is being installed may lead to damage to the balance. Cleaning ABS elements: To clean dry surfaces, it is necessary to use clean cellulose or cotton cloths that do not leave streaks and do not dye. You can also use water and cleaning agent (soap, dishwashing liquid, window cleaner).
