  Wear appropriate safety protection. 

ü

  Clean inside hood when appropriate. A damp cloth is recommend for basic cleaning. Do not use solvents 

on the instrument housing, sub-pan, keypad, power cord and power jack.   

ü

  Make sure no liquid enters the instrument housing. 

ü

  Handle with care to avoid damage to the weigh cell. 

ü

  Consult your safety officer with any questions or concerns.
