used primarily in hospitals, doctors' sur-
ge-ries and in-patient nursing facilities.

with the precision class III. The folding

weighing operation.

and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.

type of tripping hazard.

on a regular basis (see "Servicing/re-
