Introduction
The Rice Lake Wheelchair Scale is a heavy-duty scale that easily accommodates wheelchairs with its large
platform size and easy-access ramp in either a single ramp (RL-350-5) or dual ramp model (RL-350-6). It
provides exceptional performance in applications where typical wheelchair scales are not large enough to meet
the needs of the patient.
The Rice Lake Wheelchair Scale is a fully electronic, low profile floor scale that measures 34 in x 34 in (.86 m x
.86 m), and has a capacity up to 1000 lb (450 kg). The Rice Lake Wheelchair uses four corner-mounted, alloy
steel shear beam load cells, with the cells recessed into the frame channels for protection. The Rice Lake
Wheelchair Scale offers two integrated handles and wheels for ease of portability.
Load cell cables are run through the main channels, and held down with replaceable cable ties near each corner,
eliminating the possibility of cable damage in portable applications.
The adjustable feet are used to allow leveling the scale to make up for minor floor irregularities. Two of the four
feet sit inside the foot keeper plates located on the front of the ramp.
The Rice Lake Wheelchair Scale comes equipped with a anti-slip rubber surface on the scale platform and a large
1" LCD indicator display. The indicator comes with six AA batteries and has an optional AC adapter available.

The scale is set up to use motion sensing technology, to determine actual weight of a moving patient. The weight
can be displayed in either pounds or kilograms and you can enter a tare weight. The Scale Operation section on
page 9 of this manual explains the scale operation and how to obtain a tare weight.
