To ensure accurate weighments, a zero adjustment should be done to the scale upon arrival and setup.
To perform a zero adjustment, perform the following steps.

1. Ensure the scale is sitting on a level surface.

2. Check the eye loop area of the scale to ensure that the scale pointer is equally balanced between the
eye loop area.

3. If the scale is not balancing properly, then the small zero balance weight must be adjusted. Turn the
zero adjusting screw (shown in Figure 17) using a flat head screwdriver. By adjusting the screw, the
zero balance weight will move accordingly.

4. The scale is now ready to weigh patients.

5. Have the patient sit down on the molded seat. The patient should be completely seated in the
