NOTE: If the column bracket is bent, straighten it befor e assembling.  
  
Slip the column over the column bracket on the base .  
 
Hold the column straight so that the draft rod fits  into the opening aperture of 
the column bracket.    
Fix the column to the column bracket using two M6 s crews in front of the 
column and four at the back.   
Lay down the scale, with column horizontal to the f loor. 
 
Raise the draft rod keeping out of the lever’s way.

·  Insert  the  two  hexagonal  headed  screws  from  the  ha rdware  pack 
into the holes in the front of the column and tight en slightly. 
 
·  Place  both  the  height  rod  clamping  brackets  over  t he  two  pre-
installed hexagonal headed screws and pull it down.  
 
·  Use  the  included  wrench  to  tighten  both  the  screws .  Do  not  over 
tighten the screws. 
     
 
    
A. Latch to lock/unlock the              
   
measuring arm   
B.  The measuring arm 
 
C.  The inner height rod 
 
D.  The outer height rod 
 
E.  Two height rod clamping brackets 
for fixing the height rods assembly to 
the column. One hexagonal headed 
screw is required for each bracket. 
 
4.  MEASURING HEIGHT 
   
Preparing the scale to measure the height- 
 
·  Before the person steps onto the scale platform, t he measuring arm 
should be lifted to the horizontal position, and ra ised well above the 
person’s apparent height. 
 
·  The person may now step onto the scale platform.    
 
·  The  measuring  arm  should  be  held  horizontal  and  ab ove  the 
person’s head and should not be released. 
 
·  Carefully lower the measuring arm, while keeping i t horizontal, until 
it  rests  gently  upon  the  top  of  the  person’s  head.    If  the  person  is 
shorter  than  101.5  cm,  push  the  latch  to  the  right,   while

simultaneously  pushing  down  the  measuring  arm  until   it  rests 
horizontally upon the top of the person’s head. 
    Read the height of the person as follows:   
·   The rear end of the measuring arm is tapered to po int at the reading 
on the height rods. 
 
·  If the tapered end of the measuring arm points at  the outer height 
rod,  then  the  height  of  the  person  is  same  as  the  r eading  at  this 
point on the outer height rod. 
 
·  If the tapered end of the measuring arm points at  the inner height 
rod,  then  the  correct  height  of  the  person  is  same  as  the  reading 
shown on the inner height rod where both the height  rod meets, i.e.,  
read at the top of the outer height rod (Just above  the “Read” arrow 
marked on the outer height rod). 
 
·  While holding the measuring arm horizontally, rais e the arm above 
the person’s head.  The person may now step off the  scale platform.  
Hold the arm horizontal until the person is clear o f the height rod. 
 
·  Fold the measuring arm back to the vertical positi on and adjust the 
height rod back to the rest position (i.e. the meas uring arm should 
be  locked  in  place  within  the  inner  height  rod  and  the  inner  rod 
should be at its lowest position).

5.  WEIGHING OPERATION 
            
     
 
          
To do the zero setting -  
 
·   For accurate weighing, place the scale on a levell ed floor. 
 
·  Move  both  the  balancing  masses  to zero  when  the sc ale platform 
is empty.  
 
·  If the scale is balanced, the lever will be in the  horizontal position. 
This  will  be  indicated  by  the  arrow  indicator  being   in  line  with  the 
horizontal mark on the right side of the column hea d.  
 
·  It  may  be  necessary  to  turn  the  zero-setting  screw   to  the  right  or 
left until the scale balances.
