Getting around

Once installed,you should test with a weigh scale
indicator.
Connect the load bar cables to a indicator.(like K7)
Turn on and zero the indicator.
Put a test weight(which may be yourself or another
people) at one end of the platform/crate and note
the stable reading on the indicator.
Put the test weight at the other end of the
platform/crate and note the stable reading on the
indicator.
Remove the test weight and note whether the
reading returns to zero.
If the two readings differ by more 2% of capacity or
the reading does not return to zero,see the
troubleshooting section.
Note: During use, if the device has not been used for
a period of time, repeat the above test before using it
for the first time.
