Become familiar with this scale, its safety instructions, and its operation before beginning any work. Serious personal injury may result if safety or operational information is not understood or followed. SECTION 3: SET UP Unpacking Site Consideration Your crane scale was carefully packaged for safe shipping. If you discover any damage after you have signed for delivery, immediately call Customer Service at (570) 546-9663 for advice. Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Otherwise, filing a freight claim can be difficult. When you are completely satisfied with the condition of the shipment, you should inventory the contents. Inventory Model T10009 Inventory (Figure 1) A.

When choosing a mounting site, verify that the lifting structure can withstand at least the maximum loading capacity as well as any possible overloading that may occur. Working Clearances Consider existing and anticipated needs, dimensions of your weighing platform, size of material to be weighed, and whether you need the scale to be mobile or in a stationary location when establishing an installation site for your crane scale. For an accurate reading, there must not be any items near the scale or weighing platform that may lean or fall and add weight. Power Outlets The Model T10009 crane scale includes a remote control and scale battery charger. When establishing a site for your scale, make sure outlets are located near the scale so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Do not place the crane scale in areas of high electrical fields. Electrical fields can effect scale accuracy. No list of safety guidelines is complete, because every work environment is different. Always consider safety first and use common sense. Failure to use this tool with caution and respect could result in serious personal injury. -4-Model T10009 5000 Kg Digital Crane Scale Mounting and Loading Hardware When attaching hardware to the crane scale: • DO NOT attach multiple chains or harnesses directly to the scale. Only one point of contact should be used on the hook and shackle to lessen the chance of the load falling and to allow proper load alignment. • DO NOT attach oversized items or harnesses directly to the scale. Oversized loading hardware create multiple points of contact and will not fit properly with the crane scale hardware. Inaccurate readings, uneven, and dangerous loads may result. Refer to Figures 2 & 3 for the dimensions of Model T10009. Figure 2. Scale front view measurements. ............................................ 9 1.8" 6 1.8" 4 7.16" 24" 14 3.16" 11.2" Figure 3. Scale side view measurements. Like all tools there is potential danger when operating this tool. Accidents can be caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur. ........... To maintain accuracy, the scale should remain hanging and not be allowed to rest on the ground for a significant amount of time.

When your scale is ready, attach your weighing platform to the lifting hook at the bottom of the scale, then wait until the "STEADY" light comes on. Before placing any items on the platform, deduct the weight of the platform by pressing the TARE button on the scale (Figure 4), or by pressing Tare on the remote control. After you have selected the Tare function for the platform, the scale will return to 0 lbs. between loads until you turn off the scale. Power Saving If the load is left at stable status, ("STEADY...
