INSTALLATION

Location

The scale should be installed in a location with a flat, level floor. Note that the weighing

platform will not sit completely against the floor. This will not affect the accuracy of the scale

as the weighing platform will settle to the floor when the patient is placed on the scale.

The front load cells of the weighing platform will be off the floor. The back

load cells must

be sitting completely on the floor.

There should be 1/8” to 1/4” clearance between

the sides of the scale frame and the floor. This

clearance is required for the lift mechanism to

installation that sits the wall mount too low and

prevents the scale from closing completely. If

the wall mount is too high the back load cells

will not touch the floor when the weighing

platform is lowered. If the wall mount is too

high, the wall mount must be moved lower on

the wall or the scale will not function correctly.

NOTE: It may be necessary to remove any base molding/chair rail/wall guard or to remove a

section of the base molding/chair rail/wall guard to provide space to mount the scale in a true

vertical position. An alternative method would be to shim the wall mount away from the wall to

accommodate any base molding/chair rail/wall guard.

Step 1 – Unpack the Scale

IMPORTANT: UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT

SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY TWO PEOPLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THE

INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL THE SCALE.

Step 2 – Install the Wall Mount

NOTE: Due to the various types of wall construction, no mounting hardware is

furnished with the scale. Appropriate mounting hardware suitable to the wall’s

construction will need to be obtained to secure the wall mount to the wall.

The wall mount allows the scale to be adjusted up or

down and left or right to accommodate floors that

may not be perfectly flat. This insures the accuracy

of the weighing platform and prevents undue stress

to the scale.

The wall mount should be secured to the wall using

mounting hardware suitable to the wall’s construction.

The six (6) holes (in groups of two, sixteen (16) inchs

apart) in the wall mount allow for 1/4" hardware to be

used to secure the wall mount to the wall.

1. Determine the desired location where the scale is

to be mounted.

2. With an assistant, place the wall mount against

the wall. Insure it’s level and 35 1/2” from the top

edge of the wall mount to the floor.

3. Mark the holes to mount the wall mount.

4. Remove the wall mount and drill the required

diameter holes for the mounting hardware used.

5. Fasten the wall mount to the wall.
