Rotate to Adjust Wheel

USING THE SCALE MASTER PRO XE

Adjusting the Wheel

The Celcon® polymer wheel can be adjusted for each user’s preference. To adjust the wheel, take a small, flat-head jeweler’s screwdriver and slightly rotate the screw located near the wheel tip. Rotating the screw about 1/4 to 1/3 turn should be sufficient. Rotating the screw within those two values should adjust the wheel between free spinning (which is too loose) to skidding (which is too tight).
