2.1 Unpacking
When you receive your Quick-Check, unpack it and inspect the container and the
instrument for any damage. Report any problems to the shipping company immediately
and save the packing materials.
Insert 2 AA batteries into the battery compartment, shown in Figure 2.1 . Your Quick-
Check probably comes from the factory with the proper sheave size installed and
calibrated for your application. If not, follow the setup directions later in section 3.0
Configuration Mode and 4.0 Changing Sheaves.
The Quick-Check is shown in Figure 2.1 with the different parts labeled.
