4.Visually inspect the slings prior to use for any signs of abrasion or other damage. Refer to the sling manufacturer's procedures for proper inspection of the particular sling you are using.

5.Only use slings with ratings that exceed the weight to be lifted. Reference your company's standards for safety factors that must be included when calculating the load rating.

6.NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure or transducer cabling. Damage to the enclosure or cabling may occur.

If the slings do come in contact with the electronic enclosure then remove the two bolts holding the enclosure to its base and temporarily remove the head from the meter during the lifting operation. You will need to unplug the cable from J3 on the Acquisition Module. Two screws hold this cable in place.
