Assembling the Scale

1.Place the platform on the floor near a table or chair and turn the platform up on its front edge with the platform top (matted surface) facing the table or chair. NOTE: The front edge of the platform is the 24" side without the large hole.

2.Thread the control cable with connector (63826) through the large hole in the back edge of the platform so that the cable is on the outside of the platform.

3.While resting the top portion of the handlebar on the table or chair, fasten the handlebar to the platform with eight 1/4-20 x 5/8" bolts and nuts. (Fig. 1)

4.Screw a leveling foot into each corner of the platform bottom. Leave 1/4" of thread showing.

5.Put the scale back on its feet.
