4 Mechanical Baby Scale Installation and Operation Instructions
2.2 Steelyard Rod Connection
The steelyard rod is located inside the scale pillar. Once the pillar is attached to the scale base, the steelyard rod
must be attached to the bottom of the scale.
1. Lay the scale pillar on a table so that the scale platform hangs over the edge of the table and allows you
to access the bottom of the scale.
2. Insert the hook part of the multi-purpose tool (included and shown below) to the small hole in bottom of
the steelyard rod, and pull the hook of the steelyard rod with the hook of the multi-purpose tool to
connect it to the scale base lever as shown in Figure 2-4 then push the scale base lever towards the pillar
head, and hook the bearing of the steelyard rod on the pivot of the long lever.

Note
Visually ensure that the force lever assembly linkage (shown in Figure 2-5) is centered and properly
aligned. Occasionally during shipping, the alignment will become skewed The linkage must be free floating in order for
the scale to weigh properly. The linkage can be seen by looking up underneath the top weigh beam if the scale is slightly
tipped to one side.
