2-4 SETTING UP YOUR BALANCE
CAUTION:
Always allow the balance to warm up in its ambient
environment for 2 hours prior to use.
If the balance is moved from a cold environment to a warmer
environment, keep the balance in a sealed bag during the warm up time.
This will prevent condensation from forming on the internal components
and external surfaces of the balance.
1.
Place the balance on a stable and level surface;
2.
Level the balance by turning the adjusting feet, checking the level
indicator on the balance, until the bubble appears in the center of the
circle;
3.
Carefully place the pan support and the pan into position on the
weighing mechanism. These parts should be carefully put into place,
no downward force is required;
4.
Plug the AC adaptor in to a suitable electrical outlet and into the
back of the balance.
