(directions below are for right-handed use)
• Placethescaleonaat,levelsurface
• Setinalocationwhichallowsviewingofscaleasneartoeyelevelaspossible;
thiswilleliminateanypotentialparallaxerror
• Placebothpoisesatzero
• Placescalepanonpansupport
• Scaleisbalancedwhenzerolineonmainbeamlinesupwithcenterreference
pointer(Photo8)
• Ifzerolinedoesnotlineupwithcenterreferencepointer,rotatelevelingfoot
clockwisetomovereferencepointerupward,orrotatecounter-clockwisetomove
referencepointerdownward(Photo9)
• Thescaleshouldbezerobalancedbeforeuseandcheckedperiodicallyduring
useformaximumaccuracyandprotectionagainsterror.
NOTE:DONOTMOVESCALEONCEBALANCED.IFSCALEISMOVED,FOLLOW
STEPSABOVETORE-ZEROSCALE.
