.0 OPERATION
3.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this manual carefully before you operate the SHS Crane Scale.
•Unpack the Crane Scale carefully from the packaging.
•Attach it to your hoist or equivalent existing equipment securely at the
ground level to the support ring in the upright position. Make sure that
the equipment to which the scale is attached is in proper condition. The
operator should be trained for its safe operation.
•Carry out regular visual inspection for any damage or wear and tear on
parts. The split pins in particular at the hook and eyebolts, as well as the
inner wall of the hook and all joints should be checked regularly. If any
damage or wear has taken place, stop using the scale and replace the
parts.
•Do all inspection and maintenance work when the scale is not in use.
•Do not expose the scale to extreme temperatures. The operating
temperature range is 0° C to 40° C.
•Secure the sample to be weighed in the hook of the scale. Ensure that
the sprung Safety Lever returns to its resting position which prevents
the sample from slipping out of the hook.
•Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the Scale .
•Clean and protect your scale after use.

3.2 BATTERY OPERATION
•The lithium battery will operate continuously for 20 hours before
requiring recharging. The scale will alert you that the battery is low on
charge when the Indicator LED above the battery symbol lights up.
•To charge the battery, unclip the battery cover on the rear of the scale
and insert the connector into the socket as marked. Plug the charger
into the mains power supply and wait until the LED on the charger
shows green. The battery is now fully charged.
•Charging time for a completely discharged battery is approximately 16
hours. A full battery pack is recommended to keep the scale
continuously operational.
•Only use the charger as supplied with the unit.
•The switch inside the battery cover must be in position A to make use
of the lithium battery.
•If using AA or NiMH batteries the switch must be in position B
•The scale will automatically power down after 30 minutes of non use to
further protect the battery.
•To replace the lithium battery pack please contact your dealer

•Press the [ZERO] key and power up the scale using the on/off button.
•Release the [ZERO] key and the display will show “SPAN”. Make sure

continuing.
•Press the [ZERO] button and the display will show “SET” then “00000”
when the reading at zero is stable. This completes the zero calibration
•Following zero calibration the value of the mass being used to calibrate
the scale should be entered. Use the [HOLD] button to increment the
right hand digit, and the [UNIT] button to move this digit to the left.
Proceed by entering a number for the next digit if required, until the
value of your chosen calibration weight is displayed correctly.
