2.1 Unpacking
Unpack and verify that the following components have been included:
Save the packaging material. Repack the scale in the original packaging to ensure safe storage or
transport of the product.
2.2 Installing Components
Place the weighing pan securely over the four load pads on the top of the scale. If using the optional foot
switch, plug the foot switch connection into the appropriate receptacle on the underside of the scale (refer
to Figure 2-3).
2.3 Selecting the Location
Operate the scale on a firm, level surface. Avoid
locations with rapid temperature changes or
excessive dust, air currents, vibrations,
electromagnetic fields or heat.
Adjust the leveling feet so that the bubble is
centered in the circle of the level indicator.

NOTE: The scale should be leveled each time its location is changed.

is not the case, DO NOT connect the scale to the power supply. Contact an OHAUS dealer for assistance.

of the scale.
