Operation
Weighing Operation

To balance scale, move both posies (weights) to zero
and turn balance screw to right or left until scale
balances. For accurate weighing, place scale on level
floor.
To determine the weight move the coarse and fine
weights to the proper position for the scale to balance
on the zero indicator and reed the weight by adding
the amount shown on each beam.

Height Rod Operating Guide:

(1) Before the person steps onto the scale platform, the

spoon should be rotated to the horizontal position, and
raised well above the person’s apparent height.

(2) The person may now step onto the scale platform.

The spoon should be held horizontal and above the
person’s head.

(3) Carefully lower the spoon, while keeping it horizontal,

until it rests gently upon the top of the person’s head.
If the person is shorter than 101.5cm(3’4”), push the
latch to the right, while simultaneously pushing down
on the spoon until the spoon rests horizontally upon
the top of the person’s head.

(4) Read the height of the person as follows:

If the back of the spoon points to the outer height rod,

then it points to the correct height.

--If the back of the spoon points to the inner height

rod, then the correct height is read at the top of the

outer height rod (see

“Read” arrow on the outer

height rod).
(5) While holding the spoon

horizontally, raise the

spoon above the person’s

head. The person may

now step off of the scale

platform. Hold the spoon

horizontal until the person

is clear of the height rod.
(6) Rotate the spoon back to

the vertical position and

adjust the height rod back

to the rest position (i.e. the

spoon should be locked in place within the inner

height rod and the inner rod should be at its

lowest position).
