Assembling the Stand-on Scale
1. Place the platform on the floor.
2. Turn the platform up on its front edge.
3. Thread the control cable with connector through the
right handlebar mounting hole in the wheel cover.
Insert the cable into the keyway in the mounting hole.
(Fig. 1)
4. Lay the platform down. Insert the handlebar into the
(2) two mounting holes in the wheel cover. Make sure
the control cable is seated in the mounting hole
keyway. (Fig. 2)
