1.0 Introduction

The Rice Lake Mechanical Chair Scale is designed for those who have a difficult time standing on a scale. It is

ideal for use in clinics and nursing facilities. The scale is durable, having a sturdy enameled steel body, a molded

polypropylene chair, heavy-duty footrest and heavy-duty caster wheels for easy portability.

The Rice Lake Mechanical Chair Scale comes in two models:

• RL-MCS-LB (450 x 4 oz capacity)

• RL-MCS-KG (200 x 100 g capacity)

Manuals can be viewed and downloaded from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems website at
