MAINTENANCE: Installing the in-use cover and changing the fuse
To protect the balance against dirt, damage and caustic chemical substances, the balance is shipped with an installed in-use cover. The in-use cover is made of hard
plastic and cannot be folded. Operation of the balance is in no way hindered by the in-use cover.
In case the microfuse needs to be replaced, there is a spare fuse in the fuse holder. If the microfuse needs to be replaced repeatedly for no obvious reason, contact
METTLER TOLEDO Service.
Removing the in-use cover
– Remove weighing pan and pan support.
– Turn retaining ring (25) (in the PE360, the
draft shield base (19)) counterclockwise until
it snaps free and can be lifted out.
– Remove in-use cover (26).
– Place pan support and weighing pan back on
balance.
(The retaining ring is installed in the PE3600 only if
an in-use cover is used).
