1.0 Precaution before Using the Scale
1.1 Environment
The scale should always be used for its intended use (see
www.kilotech.com) and its intended capacity.
This scale is not protected against water; DO NOT spray with
liquids as this could damage the electronics or could cause serious
injury. To clean the scale, wipe it with a soft humid cloth and if
necessary, use a non-abrasive household cleaner.
The scale should always be used in an environment, which is free
from excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration, and temperature
or humidity extremes. These factors will affect displayed weight
reading.
DO NOT install the scale:
!Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid
temperature changes.
!Near air conditioning or heating vents.
!Near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
!Near magnetic fields or equipment that generates magnetic
fields.
!On an unstable work surface
!In a dusty environment
!In direct sunlight.

1.2 Protection in the transportation
Before the initial use, please refer to the following drawing to take
off the protection screw. When packing the scale for transportation,
install the protection screw on the scale in order to avoid any
damage to sensitive components.
1.3 Leveling the Scale
The scale is equipped with a level indicator on the left bottom side
of the front panel and four adjustable leveling feet. Adjust the
leveling feet until the bubble appears in the center circle of the
indicator. Then lock the feet in place using the lock nuts. Repeat
this procedure each time the scale is moved to a new location.
1.4 Turn on Scale
Do not turn on scale with anything on the platform. The switch is
located on the right side of the scale. The scale will start to count
down from nine to zero and will display the max capacity of the
scale in the display. The scale is then ready for use.
Allow the scale15-30 minutes to warm up prior to use.
