Leveling the Weighing Platform
Purpose:
– To compensate for uneven areas at the place of installation
– Make sure that the equipment is placed in a perfectly horizontal position for
consistently reproducible weighing results
Always re-level the weighing platform after changing the place of installation.
§ Level the weighing platform using the four adjustable feet. Keep turning the feet
until the air bubble is centered in the level indicator circle.
§ Make sure that all four feet are touching the ground.
> The load must be equally distributed over all leveling feet!
§ Loosen the lock nuts on the leveling feet with an open-end wrench.
> Setting the adjustable feet:
Raise the weighing platform by extending the leveling feet (turning to the right).
Lower the weighing platform by retracting the leveling feet (turning to the left).
§ After aligning the weighing platform, tighten the lock nuts.
Small platforms (1 weighing cell): against the platform frame,
Large platforms (4 weighing cells): against the platform foot.
