16.1 Maintenance
Use a soft damp cloth containing a neutral detergent to clean the balance.
Avoid using organic solvents, chemicals, or dusting sprays as they may damage the coatings of the
balance or the display panel.
Attach the protective in-use cover (standard accessory) when the balance is used in an environment
where it is susceptible to being soiled.
The pan can be removed and washed with water. Verify that the pan is completely dry before replacing
it on the balance.
16.2 Moving the Balance
To carry the balance, hold the balance firmly with both hands.
To transport the balance, use the shipping carton used to deliver the balance.
For UW balances
:
Before placing the balance into the shipping carton, remove the pan and pan
supporter caps and verify that the transportation screws in the bottom of the
balance have been tightened clockwise until they stop. Refer to
For UX balances
:
Remove the pan and pan supporter caps and place the balance in the packing
case as it was shipped.
Caution
Failing to tighten the transportation screws, placing the balance on its side
when turning the transportation screws, or failing to remove pan supporter
caps before placing the balance upside down may cause serious damage
to the mechanism.
