Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the scale is straightforward: simply attach the top handle to your weighing tripod or handle, then calibrate by pressing the zero button if you have an empty sling attached. To maintain the accuracy of the internal spring, avoid dropping the scale or subjecting it to extreme physical shock. After use in saltwater, rinse the outer casing with fresh water and wipe it down with a dry cloth to prevent corrosion. Store the scale in a dry, cool place to ensure the mechanical components remain in peak condition for your next session.
