Setup

1. Unfold Handle: Gently pull the top handle upwards until it locks into place, forming a comfortable grip for lifting.
2. Extend Hook: Pull the metal hook from its storage position at the bottom of the scale. Ensure it is fully extended and free to move.
3. Zero the Scale: Locate the black knob in the center of the dial. Rotate this knob until both the red and black needles align at the "0" mark on the scale. This ensures an accurate starting point for weighing.

Operating Instructions

1. Attach to Luggage: Securely hook the metal hook through the handle of the luggage you wish to weigh. Ensure the hook is stable and the luggage is balanced.
2. Lift the Scale: Hold the scale's handle firmly and lift the entire luggage off the ground smoothly and steadily. Avoid sudden jerks, as this can lead to inaccurate readings.
3. Read the Weight: While holding the luggage steady, observe the red needle on the dial. The red needle will indicate the maximum weight registered. The outer ring shows pounds (lb) and the inner ring shows kilograms (kg).
4. Lower and Reset: Gently lower the luggage back down. The black needle will remain at the peak weight, allowing you to re-check the reading if needed. To reset for the next use, rotate the center black knob until both needles return to "0".
5. Using the Tape Measure: The scale includes a retractable tape measure. Pull it out from the side of the unit to measure luggage dimensions. Once finished, gently release it to retract.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a dry place. Ensure the hook and handle are folded into their storage positions to prevent damage.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not attempt to weigh items exceeding the 80 lb (35 kg) capacity, as this can damage the internal mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Inaccurate Readings:

• Check Zero Point: Always ensure the scale is zeroed before each use. Adjust the black knob to align both needles to "0".
• Smooth Lift: Lift the luggage slowly and steadily. Jerking the scale upwards can cause the reading to appear higher than the actual weight.
• Balance: Ensure the luggage is balanced when lifted to get an accurate measurement.
