OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Zero Balance Adjustment
The scale should be checked periodically, particularly when moved, by following the instructions
below:
Note: A flat head screwdriver is required.
1. Ensure that the scale is located on a hard, flat, and level surface. Step on and off scale
several times in order to align all internal parts.
2. Place both poise weights on the "0" value on both bars. The beam pointer should float gently
up and down, and not touch the top or bottom of the trig-loop.
3. If the beam pointer is not centered in the trig-loop opening, rotate balance ball screw to
correct the beam pointer.
Weighing Instructions (see Figures 11–14 on pages 14 & 15)
1. Set the large and small poises to indicate the patient's approximate weight.
2. Have patient step onto the scale. Ensure they are positioned directly in the center of the
platform. Continue to adjust the small and large poise weights until the pointer is centered.
Note: It is not necessary for you to wait for the pointer to stop moving in order to read the
correct weight. As long as the pointer is moving equally within the trig-loop opening, the
patient's weight can be determined.
3. The patient weight can be recorded in either pounds or kilograms.
4. Observe the location of the indicator arrow built into each poise weight. Read the value on
the poise bar, closest to the indicator arrow.
5. Rotate the upper and lower poise bars to measure in either pounds or kilograms. Ensure
that poise bars are locked after being rotated into position.
6. For easy identification, pounds (lb) have silver graduations on a black background, located
on one side of the poise bar (see Figure 11 on page 14); kilograms (kg) have black
graduations on a silver background, located on the other side of the poise bar.(see Figure
12 on page 14)
7. Add the indicated reading of the small poise value to the indicated reading of the large poise
value. The total amount is the patient's weight. (see Figures 13 and 14 on page 15)
