Rice Lake Mechanical Stationary Animal Scale - MAS-LM - Manual (Page 7)

Introduction 3
1.2 Overview
The MAS-LM animal scale, shown in Figure 1-3, consists of a sheeted animal cage suspended by a pipe lever system on top of
a stationary base frame. When transporting, the scale system is locked down using overload bolts, protecting the lever system
from damage during transport. A digital indicator and S-Beam can be connected to the scale to display the weight.
The MAS-LM animal scale can be used on any firm surface that is straight, plumb and level.
Note
Legal for Trade applications often require a concrete slab foundation. Check with local Weights and Measure
officials.
