6. Insert the wrench (included) into the small hole in front of the draft rod and pull the draft
rod hook with the wrench to connect it to the long lever as shown in Figure 5. The draft
rod is located inside the scale column. Once the column is attached to the scale base, the
draft rod must be attached to the long lever.
7. Push the long lever forward and hook the draft rod's hook onto the long lever pivot.
IMPORTANT! During shipping, a plug is installed to ensure that the shelf lever
assembly stays aligned, however the linkage may still come out of alignment.
Remove the plug and then visually ensure that the shelf lever assembly linkage is
centered and properly aligned. The linkage must be free floating in order for the
scale to weigh properly. If the scale is slightly tipped to one side, the linkage can
be seen by looking up underneath the weigh beam headpiece.
