      WARNING 

INTRODUCTION 

Your low profile platform scale is designed and 
manufactured with quality and reliability.  
Optional inclined ramps may be installed for 
easy approach and exit of scale.  Four electronic 
load cells support the scale platform and are 
connected at a centrally located junction box 
where calibration adjustments may be made.  
These load cells are self-checking and 
environmentally sealed.  
 
A lifting eye bolt is shipped with selected scales 
and should be conveniently stored, along with 
the shipping bolts, after completion of scale 
installation. The shipping bolts and lifting eye 
bolt will need to be re-installed if scale is 
relocated in the future. 
 
Your low profile platform scale has been factory 
calibrated to perform within the specifications set 
forth in Handbook #44 issued by the United 
States Department of Commerce, National 
Institute of Standards & Technology, as a "legal 
for trade" weighing device.  If re-calibration is 
required upon completion of installation, such 
procedures should be performed by a scale 
technician familiar with calibration and 
performance requirements of Handbook #44. 
 
This manual provides instruction for unpacking, 
installing and calibration of your scale.  A 
Trouble Shooting Guide was written so you may 
isolate or correct a problem before calling a 
scale technician. 
 
Please read this manual thoroughly and pay 
special attention to the warning symbols.
