2.1.2. Equipment Location
Position the equipment with these points in mind:
•
Intense direct sunlight can harm the display.
•
Work areas should be relatively free from drafts and
vibrations.
•
Do not locate near magnetic material or equipment/instruments which use
magnets in their design.
•
Avoid areas which have extreme variations in room temperatures. Temperatures
outside the instrument’s specifications will affect the weighing accuracy of this
product.
2.1.3. Safety
1. NEVER lift a heavy load with just the points of the
forks. This could damage the electronic weighing
elements permanently.
2. NEVER weigh without a pallet. This could affect the
accuracy of the weighing result.
3. The unit may be loaded with weights up to 5000 lb.
However, we advise you not to move any weights
above 1650 lb. (750 kg) with the unit. Fairbanks
Scales is not responsible for injury that may result
when moving heavy loads.
4. Use caution in the vicinity of moving parts - these parts can cut and/or crush
hands, arms, feet and legs.
5. Always center the load you are lifting on both of the forks.
6. Do not operate the weighing system on ramps, inclines, or declines, without the
addition of our optional parking brake.

No riding!
8. All modifications must be approved in writing from the supplier, prior to any work
being completed.
