Make sure each corner of the upper frame assembly
has a rubber boot or strip and that there is a rubber
strip in the center for the HI 1212 and Hi 1318 scales.
For the HI 1824 and HI 2424, make sure there are rub-
ber strips in each corner, down the center and at the
center of each 24 inch length of the upper frame.
Leveling the Scale
To level the scale, loosen the foot lock nut on the
lower frame assembly and turn the foot clockwise to
lower the scale corner, or counter clockwise to raise
it. Tighten the lock nut when no wobble of the scale is
detected.
