Always be certain when lowering the scale that everyone is clear of the scale and
any moving parts.
Use two hands when gripping the lift handle to raise or lower the scale.
Be sure the gates are latched or tied inward before transporting the scale.
Ensure all three hitch lock pins are installed and the suspension stops are in the
transport position before moving the scale.
This unit is not intended for the transportation of livestock or any other goods. Any
addition of weight to the scale in transport mode may cause premature
component failure and voids the Rice Lake warranty.
Animal Safety:
Animal safety is a very serious issue and must be observed when handling any
type of animal.
The scale surface may become slippery during use; a build-up of manure on the
scale may reduce traction. It is recommended that you take any necessary
precautions to maintain an acceptable level of animal footing.
Calibration:
Do not calibrate this scale with a weight cart having a gross weight in excess of
4,000 lbs or 1,815 kg. This device is designed to be calibrated with single block
weights spread evenly throughout the floor of the scale. Shift tests should not be
done with more than 4,000 lbs or 1,815 kg in a 4’ x 4’ area. Failure to comply with
this warning will result in damage to the scale and void the warranty.
