INSTRUCTIONS
Read this manual carefully before you operate the SHS Crane Scale.
•
Unpack the Crane Scale carefully from the packaging.
•
Attach it to your hoist or equivalent existing equipment securely at the
ground level to the support ring in the upright position. Make sure that
the equipment to which the scale is attached is in proper condition. The
operator should be trained for its safe operation.
•
Carry out regular visual inspection for any damage or wear and tear on
parts. The split pins in particular at the hook and eyebolts, as well as the
inner wall of the hook and all joints should be checked regularly. If any
damage or wear has taken place, stop using the scale and replace the
parts.
•
Do all inspection and maintenance work when the scale is not in use.
•
Do not expose the scale to extreme temperatures. The operating
temperature range is 0° C to 40° C.
•
Secure the sample to be weighed in the hook of the scale. Ensure that
the sprung Safety Lever returns to its resting position which prevents
the sample from slipping out of the hook.
•
Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the Scale .
•
Clean and protect your scale after use.
