3. Set measuring slide to a value, e.g.
150 cm.
4. Using another measuring rod, measure
the difference from the platform (models
704, 709, 710, 709f, 710f, 799:
from the
floor
) to the measuring slide and note the
difference.
5. Undo the screw on the measuring rod
somewhat, move the slide and measur-
ing rod up or down according to the dif-
ference and tighten it back up.
6. Check height again and correct if
necessary.
The measuring rod is also easily readjusted
in this manner if the scale is moved and re-
aligned using the adjustable feet.
Note:
For fine-adjustment of the measuring rod, it
is essential to measure from the floor/plat-
form to the measuring slide. Do not
measure from the floor/platform to the rele-
vant height on the scale. The scale is dis-
placed a few centimetres to
compensate for the difference in height
between the read-off mark and the
measuring slide.
7. Once you have
screwed the spacer for
the measuring rod to
the scale column and
aligned it, affix the
"Calibration Seal" label
supplied to the spacer
as shown in the diagram above.
