1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 956 electronic
chair scale, you have acquired a highly-ac-
curate and sturdy piece of equipment.
seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 150 years
now, and as market leader in many coun-
tries of the world, is always setting new
standards with its innovative develop-
ments for weighing and measuring.
In accordance with national regulations, the
seca 956 wheelchair scale with standing
aid is used primarily in hospitals, doctors’
surgeries and in-patient nursing facilities.
The scale is a Class I medical product, and
has been calibrated in accordance with
the precision class III.
Weight is determined within a few
seconds.
The seca 956 can be moved on casters
and its low power consumption means it
will provide mobile service for a long peri-
od.
The
seca 956 chair scale is made for peo-
ple who are not especially steady on their
feet. To give you a safe feeling while
weighing, the chair scale has a solid tubu-
lar frame and a firmly bolted seat. The free-
running casters make the scale very easy
to move. The wheel-locking lever, together
with the swiveling armrests and foot sup-
ports, makes it easier to sit in safety.
The scale is of a very sturdy construction
and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.
