Rice Lake Portable Group Animal Scale - MAS-P - Operators Manual - Manual (Page 21)

Note
Installation 10
The scale will weigh properly on a slope up to 4 degrees,

approximately 7%).
2. Inspect all four corners of the scale. Although the scale will weigh properly up
to four degrees off level, individual corners of the scale should not be allowed to
teeter. If any of the corners are not contacting the ground, place shims directly
under the base frame, under the load cell stands, to prevent teetering. (See
Figure 3-1)
3. Plug the indicator into the scale cable. The scale cable runs from the junction
box (inside the base frame) to the indicator. (See Figure 3-1)
4. Connect power to the indicator and switch ON.
5. USING BOTH HANDS, raise the platform to enable the scale (See Figure 3-2)
Note
WARNING
The lift mechanism is an over center cam style lift and lock. If not
disturbed, the scale will remain “locked” in the up position.
Always grip lift handle with two hands when raising and lowering
the scale.
Cam levers point toward each other in weigh mode and away from each
other in transport. See decals for direction of levers in each mode.
6. You are now ready to weigh.
3.4.2 Converting to Transport Mode
When the scale is not in use the scale should be locked down in transport mode to
prevent any accidental overload of the weigh system.
1. USING BOTH HANDS disengage and lock the scale in transport mode by
rotating all four cam levers counter clockwise into the fully locked position.
