Troubleshooting
Scales not showing zero when not in use
Place the scales on a level surface and gently tap the side of the scale housing. If a manual adjustment wheel is present, use it to set the dial precisely to zero. Ensure no objects are pressing down on the platform.
Inconsistent weight readings
Ensure the scales are placed on a hard, level floor. Check that the surface is not uneven or soft like carpet. Verify the scales are not overloaded beyond their 150kg capacity.
Dial is difficult to read
Ensure the area where you are using the scales is well-lit. Clean the dial face with a soft, dry cloth if it appears smudged.
