INTENDED USE
The intended use of the Physician Mechanical Beam Scale,
shown in Fig. 1, is the measurement of body weight and
height. It is ideal for use in health clinics and doctor practices.
The designation of this product meets the OIML international
Recommendation R76.
UNPACKING
Unless the scale is to be used immediately, retain box and
packaging materials for storage until use is required.
1. Carefully remove all components from the carton.
2. Inspect all components.
3. If damage is evident to the contents, please notify the carrier
and your GF authorized distributor.
ASSEMBLY
Refer to pictures at right during assembly.
Pillar Installation
1. Set the scale base on a at, dry working surface such as a table.
2. Install the pillar in the scale base frame bracket, with scale
face facing platform, as shown in Fig. 2.
3. Install the eight bolts and washers that secure the pillar to the
scale base. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the bolts.

Steelyard Rod Attachment
1. Place the scale on a table or at working
surface as shown in Fig. 3.
2. The long lever extends through the
center of base length. Wires are wrapped
around the long lever at the factory,
securing it to the base, to prevent
movement during shipping. Wrapped
wire locations are shown in Fig. 3.
Remove and discard these wires.
3. Insert the wrench in the small hole in
front of the steelyard rod (the steelyard
rod is inside the pillar). Use the wrench
hook to pull the steelyard rod hook over
the long lever, as shown in Fig. 4 and 5.
4. Push the long lever frontward, then hook
the steelyard rod bearing on the long
lever pivot.
Info: Ensure the force lever assembly
linkage is centered and properly aligned.
The linkage must float freely in order for
the scale to weigh properly. To see the
linkage, tip the scale slightly to one side
and look up underneath the top weigh
beam.
5. Gently place the scale upright on the
oor.
Height Rod Installation
1. Install the height rod back-side slots
over the two pillar front-side bolts and
slide the height rod down until securely
attached to the pillar as shown in
Fig. 6 and 7.
2. Use the included wrench to tighten the
two hex head bolts as shown in Fig. 8. Do
not overtighten.
Wheel Installation
1. Align wheel bracket with scale platform
so that the wheel bracket side with holes
is against frame back and wheels face
outward.
2. Install the two screws and washers that
secure the wheels to the scale base as
shown in Fig. 9 and 10.
3. Ensure wheels are level.
4. Use Phillips screwdriver to tighten the
screws.

Counterpoise Weight Installation
1. Position the main poise weight in the slot at
390 lb / 180 kg, and position the accessory poise
weight at zero, as shown in Fig 11.
2. Position the 50 lb / 20 kg counterpoise weight in
the rst slot, as shown in Fig. 12 and Detail A.
3. The scale capacity is now 490 lb / 220 kg.
OPERATION
Info: Ensure scale is on a level, stable surface
when in use. Do not place the scale on a soft
surface such as carpet; this could result in
inaccurate weight measurement.
Moving the Scale
1. Hold the two pillar side faces to keep the front side of the platform away from the ground and
rotate the scale backward.
2. Roll scale carefully on both wheels.
3. Return the scale gently to upright position.

Zero Adjustment
To ensure accurate weight measurement, zero adjustment should be performed after assembly
and before use.
1. Ensure the scale is on a level, at surface.
2. Check the scale’s eye loop area— ensure the scale pointer is equally balanced between the top
and bottom of eye loop area. Gently use your nger to hold the scale pointer until it touches
the bottom of the eye loop area. Release the scale pointer and let it move freely up and down
within the eye loop area until it settles in the eye loop area center.
3. If the scale does not settle in the center of the eye loop area (it is not balancing properly),
adjust the small zero balance weight. Use a screwdriver to turn the zero adjusting screw; this
will cause the zero balance weight to move accordingly.
Info: When the scale pointer settles in the center of the eye loop area, it is properly
balanced.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
Zero balance of
beam
The weigh beam must be balanced so that the scale pointer comes to rest in the center of the eye loop area when both
poise weights are set at zero. Adjust the balance by turning the zero adjusting screw at the left end of the weigh beam.
Beam does not move
freely
1. Ensure the beam pointer is not touching the side of the eye loop.
If the beam pointer is touching the side of the eye loop, proceed to step 2.
2. Ensure the linkage is centered and properly aligned. The linkage must oat freely in order for the scale to measure
weight accurately. To see the linkage, tip the scale slightly to one side and look up underneath the top weigh beam.
Scale platform rocks
excessively
When you push down on any corner of the platform, you should not feel any signicant rocking. Ensure the scale is always
installed on a level, stable surface. Do not place the scale on a soft surface such as carpet.
Beam does not
move during weight
measurement
1. The poise weights may be set to a higher weight than the person’s actual weight: Reset the weights to a lower weight.
2. Ensure the steelyard rod is properly connected and aligned as previously described.
