To set the Balance exactly at zero, adjust the knurled Zero Adjust Knob which is

appreciable change in the inclination of the working surface will affect accuracy.
The base of each Balance is leveled on a surface plate at the factory and will rest
evenly on any perfectly flat surface. The Balance may rock slightly if the working
surface is not absolutely flat. This should be eliminated by shimming under the
base. Be sure to adjust the zero balance after leveling.
