Do not turn scale upside down. Always work with scale on its side! Damage to the load cell can occur if
the scale is turned upside down.
1. Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the DC-788 counting scale to ensure all components are
included and undamaged. If any were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the
shipper immediately.

remove all the components. Check the insides of the box carefully to make sure you have all of the
pieces. The package should include the following:

• Stainless steel platter
• AC power cord

3. Remove the bag protecting the scale and the protective film covering the front panel and platter.
4. Seat the stainless steel platter on the platter supports, with the four corner pins inserted into the corner
rubber stops. For DC-788 scales with a 2 lb. capacity, the scale must first be unlocked using the
following procedure.
• Take off the two Nuts A and Screw C.
Then remove Screws D, Plate C and Nut
B. Then turn the scale on its side to
complete removal of the locking screw.
REMINDER: Do not turn the scale upside
