Caution

Place the equipment on a level surface. If the equipment is not stable, for example because not all the feet
are on a level surface, there is a risk that it will topple over and it will be impossible to obtain an accurate
measurement.

For accurate measurement, place the unit on as flat a surface as possible and adjust the level with the
adjustable feet so the bubble in the level gauge is in the center of the frame. For a pole-type unit, adjust
the level gauge, then adjust the position of the two supplementary feet (small) to the level that they
lightly touch the floor so to prevent the display box from shaking.

How to move the equipment
