Setup 🔧☑️

Setup

Step 1

Open Drawer to fully extended position.

Step 2

Install C-clamp as shown.

Note Take care to ensure that C-clamp is centered on the lock face and tightened securely enough to elimate any play once installed.

Step 3

Install Luggage scale onto C-clamp as shown.

Note Be sure to attach the Luggage scale strap within the jaw portion of the C-clamp, closest to the Drawer outer face.

Step 4

Zero out luggage scale before testing.

Note Turn black knob counterclockwise to zero out Luggage scale as shown.

Testing 🧪☑️

Testing

1. Pull/push downward on Luggage scale handle gradually increasing force until Desk begins to tip and rear legs lift.

Note Recommend kneeling down directly in front of the Desk and applying force with only 1 hand on the handle (palm downward). Take care to pull/push directly downward parallel to the Drawer face as pulling in an off-angle will affect the readings.

2. Release tension on the Luggage scale immediately to avoid Desk actually tipping.

3. The black needle on the Luggage scale will indicate the MAX weight recorded during the test.

4. Repeat as needed.

Note Be sure to re-zero the Luggage scale [SEE Step 4 in Setup] and make sure Drawer is fully open and contents haven't shifted before each test.
