Instructions for Model Numbers 72710, 72711, 72724, 72725, 72755, 72695
Operation
- Set up pads along side car. Scale pads are marked RF, LR, etc. and must be used at that location.
- Turn on each pad. Push Orange button or Rocker Switch on the side of the pad. The Green LED will start to flash.
- Turn on control box. The control box will search and "find" the pads and weights will appear. This takes 5 - 10 seconds.
- Push Zero. This defines "0" weight. DON'T PUSH ‘ZERO’ AFTER CAR IS ON SCALES.
- Lift car and place pads under the wheels. "Shake" car up & down at each corner to settle out shock or suspension friction.
- Control box shuts off after 1+ hour. Push ON/OFF to turn back on (DO NOT re-zero unless car is off pads)
- If you turn off just the control box after 1 minute pads go into "standby" mode. If control box is turned back on within 1 hour pads will go back to active. If the green LED is out you will need to turn the pads back on also.
- Green LED on pad shows power. Flashing fast is normal operation. Slower flash indicates "standby" mode waiting for control box to be turned back on. Red LED indicated low pad batteries.
- A pad not communicating with the control box is indicated by "- - -".
- Keep the system clean and dry. Do not drop either the pads or the control box. REMEMBER - there are electronics in the pads that could be damaged by rough handling.
- Store in a clean, dry place. Keep away from static electricity.
CAPACITY:
Most #s listed: 1500 lb (650 kgm) per pad.
