SITE SELECTION

Select a site for your new floor scale where it is least 

likely to be damaged by fork trucks and other material 

handling devices. Floor scale load cell weighing 

elements are prone to overload damage caused by 

side impacts, falling objects and excessive weight loads 

that exceed the rated capacity of the scale. 

Your site should be:

• Level within 1/4".

• Free from vibration.

• Dry for standard, non wash-down floor scales.

• Clean of debris.

•  Out of the way of vehicle traffic patterns, unless 

installed in a pit while having a rated capacity 

that exceeds all loaded vehicle weights that could 

possibly drive onto or contact the scale.

The cable from the floor scale to the digital weight 

indicator should be run through conduit to protect it 

against possible damage. Running the interface cable 

through conduit is the best method of protection.

UNPACKING

1.  Inspect your shipment for damage. If you see visible 

signs of damage, notify your carrier at once.

2.  Remove your new floor scale from the shipping 

pallet. 

3.  Unpack the digital indicator. The indicator should 

include the digital indicator and power cord.

RAMP INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

Set your new floor scale in a desired location.

Position the scale feet inside the mounting tabs.  

(See Figure 1)

Anchor the ramp to the floor using two 1/2" x 3" anchors.

HEIGHT AND LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS

1.  Unlock the nuts on all four feet.

2.  Using a pry bar, lift the weight of the scale base off 

the scale feet.

3.  Make adjustments by screwing the feet counter 

clockwise. All four feet should make firm contact 

with the floor.

4.  Do not screw feet counter clockwise more than ten 

turns.

5.  Tighten locknuts on feet.

6.  Check your work.
