After fastening the column to the base install all the bench scale and column leveling
feet as shown in the image below.
Place the bench scale on an environmentally sound level surface and adjust the feet on
the bench base only. (Do not adjust the column feet at this point) until the bullseye
level shows that it is level as shown in the image below. Once the scale is positioned
and level adjust the column feet until they sit firm to the surface (It is important to
make sure that the column feet are taking the pressure off the column only).
Finally, tighten all lock nuts.

Bullseye Level Adjusting
Overload Stop
The overload stop is a set crew placed on the underside of the base and is designed so
that the load cell bottoms out when more weight is applied than the scale’s capacity. To
adjust this screw simply apply the weight that matches the capacity of the scale plus 5%
and adjust the screw in until it hits the cell. The overload stop is now set to stop at
anything over 105% of the scale’s capacity. Use blue Loctite when setting the screw.

Indicator Installation
Mount the indicator on the column mounting bracket. Tighten the wing nuts to secure
the indicator to the column.
Plug the load cell cable connector into the back side of the indicator load cell connector.
The load cell connector and load cell cable have been factory terminated. The diagrams
below show the termination points for reference.
NOTE: Your scale has been factory calibrated, however, the scale should be
tested to confirm its accuracy after shipment.
After calibrating the scale, test it at the low end, middle and high end to ensure it is
working properly. Once the scale is confirmed working, the scale is now ready for use.
