2. SETUP
The Alphatron MPT-250B is shipped from the factory pre-calibrated and tested. To assure consistent, correct results, users
should familiarize themselves with the setup and operation of the unit before placing it in service.
To operate, set the MPT-250B on a flat, level surface in an upright position. The unit can be tilted with the adjustable front feet
to ease operator viewing of the display. Do not handle, pick up or move the unit by exerting leverage against any front or rear
panel controls, fixtures or connections. Always lift by the base plate, preferably at the mid-point along either side. DO NOT use
the lower grip as a handle for lifting or moving the MPT-250B. This can result in permanent damage to the load cell sensing
unit.
