2.1.3. Positioning the Equipment
Position the equipment with the following points in mind.
• Rest the Platform on a smooth
surface, within 1/8”, and on a level
plane, within ¼” across both the
length and width of the platform .
• The four corners of the Platform must
rest solidly on the surface, and not
rock. Unlevel flooring and foreign
material under the Platform can cause
an “out-of-level” condition, and the
weight readings could be incorrect.
• Platform vibrations may also affect the
weighing accuracy. Wherever
possible, locate the platform as far
away from heavy, low frequency
vibrations as much as possible.
• Do not load the platform if there is any
evidence of damage to the platform or
supporting structure.
• Ease of access is very important.
Allow plenty of room for maneuvering
a loaded dolly.
• Reading the Indicator is also important to workers, so place it in a very visible
position.
• The scale is to be placed on a flat, solid, level surface, one that fully supports the
weight of the platform plus a full capacity load.
• Whenever moving the scale to another location, it is important to locate the
Scale on a level area using the Bubble Level in the center of the Platform
for accurate and consistent weighing.
