Thank you for purchasing your new grain scale which is based upon the Core series of
Balances. The CQT1751GR model has been specifically developed and designed to be
used to assist in the grading of grain to asses the quality of the grain as well as to give an
indication of the Kilograms per hectolitre (kg/Hl).

3.1 UNPACKING AND SETTING UP YOUR SCALE
1)
Remove the shipping protection screw and round cover as shown below using the
Allen key supplied in the box. (It is advisable to keep the shipping protection screw
and the round cover along with the packing box for using during shipping to another
location in future).

Round cover around the screw
2)
Place the pan (which comes separately packed) in the receptacles on the top cover.
Use the screw that you
removed to screw the plastic
pan into place. Be careful
when putting the screw in that
you do not use to much force
as it can damaged the
loadcell. You should just be
able to use light force to
secure the screw.
3)
Place the stainless steel pan on top of the plastic pan.
4)
Place the balance on a firm and flat surface for accurate weighing.
In order to keep your scale functioning at its best we suggest that you do the following:
Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or
near air conditioning vents.
Make sure the scale is located on a strong table and free from
vibration.
Avoid unstable power sources. Do not operate near large users of
electricity such as welding equipment or large motors. Do not leave
the batteries inside the scale – if you are using the scale with the
AA batteries and are not using it on not using it for a long time.
Keep free from vibration. Do not place near heavy or vibrating
machinery.
Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation, and keep away
from direct contact with water.
Do not place near open windows, air-conditioning vents or fans that
may cause a draught and unstable readings.
Keep the scale clean, and do not stack material on the scale when it
is not in use. The CQT1751GR has a stacking feature allowing more
than one unit to be stacked on top of each other. For more details on
this see the section on storing.
