Troubleshooting
If the beam will not balance using the balance ball, check the
•
Is the poise is at 0 (zero), and is the poise screw is snug?
•
Is the platform free and “floating”?
•
Is the beam load rod connected properly on both ends?
•
Is something under the platform inhibiting the levers (floor debris)?
•
Are there any weights on the counterpoise hanger, and is it on the Tip

Is the beam hanging from the middle loop?

Is the Beam Lock Loop (#43) open?
following:
Loop?
Apply a slight pressure to the scale platform and see if the beam tip rises.
•
If it does, continue onto balancing step.
•
If it does not, recheck mechanical assembly.
If the scale beam
still does not balance (beam rises with slight pressure),
perform the following:
1. Use a screwdriver to 'center' the balance ball at the butt end of the beam.
2. If the beam is up, apply small amounts of weight (BBs) to the top of the

3. If the beam is low, remove the
Counterpoise
hanger (#54), loosen the hanger rod
by turning and holding the bottom nut, and remove a small amount of lead shot.
4. Add or remove small amounts of weight until beam balances.
5. Secure the counterpoise hanger with added or removed weight.
