After assembly, the scale must be balanced prior to use.
1. Ensure the scale is sitting on a level surface, and slide both the small and large poise to
zero (far-left position on the weigh beam).
2. Gently hold the beam pointer with your finger so it is centered within the trig loop area.
Release the beam pointer and let it rise freely up or down.
3. If the beam pointer doesn't remain centered, turn the balance screw (shown in Figure 9) to
the right or left using a flathead screwdriver until the beam pointer remains centered within
the trig loop.
