responsibility.
Failure to heed may result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this unit.
DO NOT operate without all shields and guards in place.
DO NOT use for purposes other than weighing.
DO NOT place fingers into slots or possible pinch points.
DO NOT place hands, feet or any body part underneath the scale at any time. The scale could be lowered, crushing body

DO NOT use this product if any of the components are cracked.
DO NOT exceed the rated load limit of the unit.
DO NOT make alterations or modifications to the unit.
DO NOT remove or obscure warning labels.
Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts.
Some procedures described in this manual require work inside the indicator enclosure. These procedures are to be per-
formed by qualified service personnel only.
Always be certain when lowering the scale that everyone is clear of the scale and any moving parts.
Use two hands when gripping the lift handle to raise or lower the scale.
Be sure the gates are latched or tied inward before transporting the scale.
Ensure all three hitch lock pins are installed and the suspension stops are in the transport position before moving the
scale.
Animal Safety:
Animal safety is a very serious issue and must be observed when handling any type of animal.
The scale surface may become slippery during use; a build-up of manure on the scale may reduce traction. It is
recommended that you take any necessary precautions to maintain an acceptable level of animal footing.
Calibration:
Do not calibrate this scale with a weight cart having a gross weight in excess of 25% of the total capacity of the scale (3750
lbs or 1,700 kg max for the MAS-P 8X13, 5000lb or 2,268 kg max for MAS-P 8x18). This device is designed to be calibrated
with single block weights spread evenly throughout the floor of the scale. Shift tests should not be done with more than
4,000 lbs or 1,815 kg in a 4’ x 4’ area. Failure to comply with this warning will result in damage to the scale and void the
warranty.
