INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Before beginning installation of your scale, make certain the instrument has been received in
good condition. When removing the scale from its packing, inspect it for signs of damage,
such as exterior dents and scratches. Keep the carton and packing material for return
shipment if it should become necessary. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all
claims for any damages or loss incurred during transit.
