2. INSTALLATION
CAUTION: THE FLOOR SCALE IS VERY HEAVY, ALWAYS USE AN APPROPRIATE HOIST TO LIFT IT
FROM THE PACKAGING OR TO MOVE IT INTO THE REQUIRED POSITION.
2.1 Positioning
Ensure the surface is flat in the area where the scale will be positioned, especially in the region of the load cell feet. Small
differences in height can be compensated by adjusting the load cell feet.
1. If an Indicator is included with the floor scale ensure that it is kept with the floor scale during positioning
as there may be an attached connecting cable.
2. With the floor scale positioned over the final work area, remove the 4 shipping feet (if installed).
3. Install the 4 load cell feet (if not already installed).
4. Lower the scale on to the final work area.
5. Check that the floor scale is level; check that the 4 feet are in contact with the floor; make adjustments by
rotating the nuts on the load cell feet. Use an external level.
6. Ensure that the floor scale's output cable does not become trapped or crushed during lifting or positioning.
