MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
No oil or other lubrication is required nor should any be used on any parts inside the
balance. An occasional drop of light machine oil on the operating shaft pivots and
leveling screws is permitted. (Be sure to rotate the operating knob clockwise to lock the
balance and remove the pans and pan holders before laying it on its back.)
Wiping the balance periodically with a dry, static-free cloth will maintain the exposed
areas in good condition. The plastic lid is subject to static. It is treated at the factory but
through cleaning, time and environment, static can build up. Generally when this occurs,
the balance appears overly sensitive and difficult to zero. Most anti-static products used
for computers will eliminate the static problem.
When the balance is moved by hand or transported, the shipping arrests must be locked.
To do this, rotate the operating knob clockwise to lock the balance and remove the pans
and pan holders. Lay the balance on its back and slightly loosen the shipping arrest knobs
(A). Move them toward the center of the balance so that the shipping arrests (B) engage
the beam ends (figure 1). IF THE BALANCE IS TO BE SHIPPED ANYWHERE, IT
MUST BE ARRESTED AS ABOVE. FAILURE TO DO SO, VOIDS ANY
WARRANTY. The pans and pan supports must be removed, wrapped and placed under
the lid with the lid closed. The balance must be packed in a sturdy carton with sufficient
cushioning to avoid damage in transit.
