Verify Correctness of
Weight and Price
Routinely verify label information. Check the multiplication of
price per pound times weight, and check the scale weight against
printed label weight. Weigh the same package several times to
verify outcome consistency. Packages that weigh near the middle
of the 0.005 lb. increment will vary up or down by 0.005 lb. Variation greater than 0.005 lb indicates the need for weigher adjustment. In such a case, or whenever necessary, contact your local
Hobart Representative.
