3.1. Safety Instructions
Before putting the device into use, please read with care the information given in this user
manual, which contains important instructions for proper installation, use and maintenance of
the device.
Keep this user manual in a safe place, along with the Declaration of Conformity.
Have the scale serviced regularly (see Maintenance).
Marsden/the manufacturer shall not be liable for damages arising from failure to heed the
following instructions:
•When using electrical components under increased safety requirements, always comply
with appropriate regulations.
•When genuine Marsden accessories and spare parts are not used, the warranty will be
rendered null and void.
•Likewise, inappropriate installation/use will also render the warranty null and void.
•Ensure the voltage marked on the power supply unit matches your mains supply.
•This device is designed for use indoors.
•Observe the permissible ambient temperatures for use.
•If the power pack is used, ensure that the power cable is not a tripping risk. Similarly,
ensure that the power cable cannot be crushed or come into contact with hot objects.
•Do not use the scale to transport any people or objects. This is not the intended use of
the scale.
•The scale is fitted with braked wheels to the rear; these should always be locked before
anyone attempts to sit on the chair.
•The footrests must not be used for standing on. They should be folded away to the side
prior to weighing, whilst the individual is assisted into the seat. They should only be
used for resting the feet once the patient is seated and then folded away again once the
patient has been weighed.
•Armrests should always remain in the lowered position throughout the weighing
process.
When adjusting the screw feet of the chair, always ensure that there is at least 15mm of
thread inside the frame. If there is less than 15mm, there is a risk the rear braked wheels
will fall off.
If you have any problems, contact Marsden/your local dealer/your service partner.
