9) Remove or attach detachable 25 kg (55 lbs) weights (on both sides), until the desired
weight mass is obtained (none, two, four or six detachable weights on EACH side for
50, 150, 250 or 350 kg weight setup). The cut-outs in the weights should face
outwards.
10) Attach rubber buffers corresponding to the weight setup:
50kg (110 lbs) setup (NO 25 kg (55 lbs) weights applied):
Attach TWO small-size (70 mm (2-3/4”) dia.) buffers (w. very short shafts,
approx. 3 cm (1”) long), ONE to the centre slot of EACH side of the (basic)
weight.
150kg (330 lbs) setup (FOUR (25kg (55 lbs) weights applied, TWO in each side):
Attach TWO long-stem buffers, ONE to the CENTER slot of EACH side of
the weight. Apply the 2 long PVC spacers over the top of the stems.
250kg (550 lbs) setup (EIGHT 25kg (55 lbs) weights applied, FOUR in each side):
Attach FOUR long-stem buffers, TWO to the OUTER slots of EACH side of
the weight. Apply the 4 short PVC spacers over the top of the stems.
350kg (770 lbs) setup (TWELVE 25kg (55 lbs) weights applied, SIX in each side):
Attach all SIX long-stem buffers, THREE to EACH side of the weight.
NOTE that when a buffer is attached, it is VERY IMPORTANT that the circular
flange in the centre of the buffer fits the corresponding cut-out in the underside of the
weight, so that the buffer is prevented from moving sideways.
11) Switch ON again the Compact15 power.
12) RAISE the weight some 5 cm (2”) (LP/RW button) and UUMAKE SUREUU that BOTH
security supports swing downwards to their “OFF” position.
13) Lower the weight completely by pressing the LC (Lower Catch) button.
14) Raise the weight some 5-10 cm (2-4”) (LP/RW button).
15) Drop the weight: Press LP/RW UUplusUU red button (red button first in, last out).
16) Lower the catch completely (LC button).
17) Re-tighten the rubber buffer securing spanners.
18) Repeat steps 14) to 17) with maximum drop height (or, in case of a weak pavement or
floor, with maximum allowable load level).
19) If the FWD should be moved before measuring, then press the RP button until the
subassembly reaches its top position and lock all transport locks.
20) Turn OFF the Compact15 power.
NOTE! From time to time, especially in the first period of time after changing a weight setup,
it should be checked that none of the buffer spanners are loose!
