3.4 Attaching the Feet to the Scale
The Rice Lake Digital Wheelchair Scale comes with four feet that must be attached to the scale base for proper
operation. The four feet are located in the parts box in the original shipping box. Use the following steps to attach
the feet to the scale.
1. Screw the four round feet clockwise into the scale base as shown in Figure 3-4.

2. 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.
3. 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. Figure 3-5 shows the width of a
finger being slid under the scale base and the floor.
Note
By not having clearance around the scale base will create inaccurate weighments.

4. It is 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.
Note
An unlevel base will produce inaccurate weight readings.
