GettingStarted:
The ChargeMaster Dispenser is used in

Scale. The ChargeMaster scale simply plugs
into thedispenser. Thetransformer on the
ChargeMaster scalesupplies thepower for
the ChargeMaster Dispenser. If you
purchase your ChargeMaster as aCombo
Unit, the Scale& Dispenser are
preassembledintoa single unit. The two
units are solidly mounted into one unit using
two rigid steelbrackets onthe underside of
the Dispenser and Scale. If you purchased
your ChargeMaster Scaleand ChargeMaster
Dispenser separately, you will need to
assemble the two units.
Step 1.To attachthescale to the dispenser,
remove the 4 screws on the bottom of
the scaleand slide the scalealongthe
rails until the two units are plugged in
together. Replace the screws andhand

Step 2.The ChargeMaster dispenser comes
equipped with a wind guard. This allows
you to load inconditions that most scales
will not handle.
Step 3.The knob onthesideof the dispenser is
the drain. To open the drain turn knob½
turn, twist it to remove the powder left in
the dispenser. It is not agood idea to
allowthe powder to remainin the hopper
