Scale-Tronix 6702 - Assembly and Setup Procedures; 5002 Stand-On Scale Assembly

ASSEMBLY - SET UP
200 GENERAL
This section includes detailed assembly instructions for
each scale. One combination operation/service manual
is supplied with the scale. Additional manuals are
available for a nominal charge. To insure proper and
safe operation of your new scale please follow the
assembly directions carefully.
SCALE-TRONIX® assembles all scales at the factory to
insure proper fit and performance. in some instances
the scales are shipped assembled; however due to size
and shipping restrictions most scales are partially
disassembled. If assembly is required, it can be easily
accomplished with common hand tools. Where special
tools are required they are supplied with the scale. Be
sure to securely tighten all baits and fasteners to insure
a long life for your scale.
Important Note: The components of the scale have
been carefully matched and calibrated at the factory to
insure correct assembly and accurate function. In
situations where multiple scales have been purchased,
DO NOT intermix the various readouts, masts, weighing
platforms, etc.! Doing so may cause errors in the
scale’s performance. Scales that have components
shipped in multiple cartons have that scale's serial
number written on each carton so that the various
components (mast, weighing platform, etc.) can be
placed together and assembled as a unit.
It is wise to save the carton and shipping materials for
future use in case the scale needs to be returned to the
factory for service or upgrades. Carefully inspect all
cartons for shipping damage before unpacking. Contact
the shipping company and SCALE-TRONIX®
immediately if shipping damage is found. All claims
must immediately be made directly with the shipper.
2.10 5002 STAND-ON SCALE
NOTE: in some cases the 5002 scale may be shipped
in an assembled condition thus eliminating the need for
assembly.
Carefully remove all parts from the shipping carton.
Inspect the components for shipping damage. Place the
scale base on a floor or work bench. The interior cable
that connects the readout to the weighing platform will
be tucked up inside the mast. Carefully pull the end
with the connector out of the bottom of the mast. Insert
the mast into the base with the readout facing the black
weighing platform. Be sure the interior cable is routed
properly and not pinched by the mast.
Fasten the mast with the bolts and washers provided.
tt is important to tighten the bolts securely to insure a
stable and solid connection.
Align the plastic connector of the interior cable with its
mate, located on the base near the bottom of the mast.
The connector will only mate one way. If it does not go
together turn it over and try again. Press it together
firmly for a good connection. Be sure to tuck any slack
cable inside the mast so it will not drag on the floor.
2.41 HANDRAIL
Hf you ordered the handrail with the scale install it now
by attaching it to the top of the weighing platform.
Attach the handrail using the %-20 x 96" button head
screws and the hex Allen wrench provided. Three (3)
screws are required for each mounting plate (6 total).
Clearance holes have been provided in the black plastic
cover. Tighten all 6 screws securely to insure a safe
and stable handrail for your patient,
If you did not order the handrail at the time of the
scale's purchase if can be added at a later date as
described below. The handrail is a useful addition to
the scale and helps to provide accurate and safe
operation. The handrail can be readily ordered through
SCALE-TRONIX®.
Note: Early versions of the scale did not provide
clearance holes for the handrail mounting. Before
installing the handrail, remove the plastic cover by lifting
it up and off the aluminum plate. Turn the plastic cover
over and note that the locations for the six (6) holes
have already been located and marked. Simply drill or
cut-out clearance holes in the indicated locations. The
