Handling Tips
This scale is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the art technology. To keep the unit in the best
condition, follow these instructions carefully.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform and display.
• Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit.
• Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment, high humidity, or extreme

Moving the Scale
The scale has two rear wheels on the back of the platform. To avoid damage, use the wheels when moving
