FAQs
Does this scale need batteries?
No, this is a fully mechanical device that requires no batteries or electrical power.
Can I use this on a carpeted floor?
It is not recommended. Mechanical scales need a hard, level surface to function accurately.
How do I calibrate the scale?
The scale comes factory-calibrated. You only need to use the adjustment dial to zero the needle if it drifts over time.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The scale supports up to 150kg or 23 stone 7 pounds.
What happens if the scale breaks?
The product is backed by a 15-year manufacturer guarantee for peace of mind.
Is the display backlit?
No, this is a traditional mechanical dial and does not have backlighting.
Troubleshooting
The needle does not sit at zero
Locate the small adjustment wheel on the side or front of the dial housing and slowly turn it until the needle aligns with the zero mark.
Weight readings seem inconsistent
Ensure the scale is placed on a completely flat, hard surface. Avoid using the scale on thick carpet or rugs.
The platform feels slippery
Ensure the anti-slip surface is clean and free of dust or moisture, as debris can affect grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is non-existent; simply remove the scale from the packaging and place it on a hard, level surface. The unit is pre-calibrated from the factory, so no adjustments are necessary. If you find the needle is not resting perfectly at zero, most mechanical scales include a small adjustment dial on the side or front of the display housing—simply rotate this until the needle rests at the zero mark before stepping on.
For care, wipe the platform down with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the unit in water, as this may corrode the internal mechanical components. Since it contains high-tension springs, avoid dropping heavy objects onto the platform to maintain the longevity of the weighing mechanism.
