ZERO button below the scale display window to zero
out the weigh

else, the front casters must be in the locked position
,
al
l four casters must be on a consistent level floor
surface.
c. Transfer the resident onto the chair and positi
on
th
em in an upright stable position. If the resident i
s
not
upright, is unstable or is moving around, wait until
they settle down and secure them with the SECURITY
BE
LT.
d. The resident's weight will appear in the display
aut
omatically. Make sure no one is touching or
leaning on the chair including yourself during the
weighting procedure.
