2 Bariatric Handrail Scale Operation Instructions
2.0 Scale Assembly
2.1 Unpacking Your Scale
Place the unopened box in an open area that has ample room for unpacking the scale.
Parts contained in the shipping box include:
• The scale
• This manual
• Small box containing AC adaptor and RS-232 cable
• 6 mm Allen Key
2.2 Repacking
If the Digital Bariatric Handrail Scale must be returned for modification, calibration or repair, it must be properly
packed with sufficient packing materials. Whenever possible, use the original carton when shipping the scale
back.
NOTE: Damage caused by improper packaging is not covered by the warranty.
2.3 Setting Up Your Scale
Use the following steps to set up the Digital Bariatric Handrail Scale with seat.
1. Locate the user’s manual from inside the box and set aside as it will provide instructions on the proper
scale removal and set up.
2. Using two people, remove the scale out of the packaging material that it came in by lifting the scale out
of the box by the scale base.
NOTE: DO NOT lift the scale out of the box by its handle as this can cause the hinges to break.
3. Move the scale into the area where the weighing process will occur. It’s recommended to place the scale
on a hard, level surface for the most accurate weighments. Thin carpeting is fine but not recommended.
4. Gently set the scale platform down to the floor.
5. Loosen the handles and unfold and set upright.
6. Screw in all four legs.
7. Attach the wrap around rails.
8. Tighten the hex screw head using the enclosed 6 mm Allen key to stabilize the scale.
Adjusting the Scale Feet
There must be adequate clearance between the scale base and the floor so screw each foot out counterclockwise
two full turns. This will ensure that there is enough clearance between the scale base and the floor.
Gently set the scale base down to the floor. There should be minimal clearance between the scale base and the
floor without having the scale base actually touching the floor. By not having clearance around the scale base
will cause inaccurate weighments.
It’s also important to make sure that the scale is completely level. Gently press down on all corners of the scale
base to ensure that there are no high spots or rocking of the scale base.
