to the scale.
 Only for use in dry environments.
 Theplatformoftheoorscaleisveryheavy,sothatitneedsalotofspace
when moving and lifting.
 The scale must be installed on a foundation that safely supports the weight of
the animal scale and the weight of the maximum load.
 Do not operate in explosion-hazardous areas.
 Read and understand all operating instructions before using this product and
keep this manual for future reference.
 Record the weight shortly after placing a load on the platform. After a long
periodoftime, theoutputsignalfromthe load cellmay result in inaccurate
readings.
 Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold. Optimum operation takes
place at normal room temperature. See operating temperature range in the
specicationtable.Allowthescaletoacclimatizetoroomtemperaturebefore
use.
 Allow sufcient warm-up time. Turn the unit on and wait
up to 2 minutes for the internal components to stabilize.
 Electronic scales are precision instruments. Do not operate the de-
vice near mobile phones, radios, computers or other electronic de-
vices that emit radio frequencies that may cause unstable readings.
 Avoid use with strong vibrations or strong air currents. This also applies if the
