3.0  OPERATION 
3.1  SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 
Read this manual carefully before you operate the S HS Crane Scale. 
·   Unpack the Crane Scale carefully from the packaging .  
·   Attach it to your hoist or equivalent existing equi pment securely at the 
ground level to the support ring in the upright pos ition. Make sure that 
the equipment to which the scale is attached is in  proper condition. The 
operator should be trained for its safe operation. 
·   Carry out regular visual inspection for any damage  or wear and tear on 
parts. The split pins in particular at the hook and  eyebolts, as well as the 
inner wall of the hook and all joints should be che cked regularly. If any 
damage  or  wear  has  taken  place,  stop  using  the  scal e  and  replace  the 
parts.   
·   Do all inspection and maintenance work when the sca le is not in use. 
·   Do  not  expose  the  scale  to  extreme  temperatures.  Th e  operating 
temperature range is 0° C to 40° C. 
·   Secure  the  sample  to  be  weighed  in  the  hook  of  the  scale.  Ensure  that 
the  sprung  Safety  Lever  returns  to  its  resting  posi tion  which  prevents 
the sample from slipping out of the hook. 
·   Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the Scale . 
·   Clean and protect your scale after use.
