American Weigh Scales (AWS) TB-2610 - Manual (Page 3)

Unpacking:
Carefully remove the balance from the carton. You will find
a slit rubber washer lodged underneath the platform base,
and another above the pointer. The washers protect the scale
during shipping and should be removed before use.
Set-up:
Place the balance on a smooth, flat surface and slide each
poise (sliding weight) to it’s zero position. With all poises at
their zero position, the scale pointer should be near zero.
Zeroing:
If the pointer does not go to zero, you can adjust using the
knob underneath the scales platform. It is advisable to check
the zero adjustment periodically.
Weighing:
Place the item to be weighed on the center of the platform
and proceed as follows:
Starting with the largest capacity beam (500g), move 1.
the poise to the right to the first notch which causes the
pointer to drop, then move it back one notch, causing the
pointer to rise.
Repeat this procedure with the 100 g poise. 2.
Slide the 10 g poise to the position that brings the pointer 3.
to rest at zero.
The weight of the item on the platform is the sum of 4.
the values of all poise positions, read directly from the
graduated beams.
Attachment Weights:
Total capacity is 2610 grams (5 pounds
and 2 ounces) when attachment weights
are suspended from the pivots. Without
the weights, the capacity is 610 grams (1
pound and 2 ounces)
