damaging side impacts from wheels, forklift tines, etc., or shock damage from falling objects.

Remove packing material and inspect scale for any visible damage caused during shipment. If
damage did occur, notify your freight carrier immediately to register a claim.
Depending on design and packing, some scales are shipped fully assembled. On others, the load
feet and the anchor plate option are shipped separately via UPS.

2. Calibration
1. If the indicator and Porta-tronic were calibrated at the factory, the scale is now ready for use.
If the indicator came separately, the scale must be calibrated to the indicator. Refer to the
indicator’s manual for calibration instructions.
2. After calibration has been completed, take known weight (25% of capacity) and check each
corner. Place weight between center of scale and each corner one at a time as shown
below. Use the same calibrated weight in each corner.
3. To adjust corner weight readings, use the trim pot designated for that corner which is
numbered the same as the corner you need to adjust.
