1.0 Introduction

The Rice Lake Mechanical Chair Scale is designed for the mobile challenged who have a difficult time standing

on a conventional scale. It is ideal for use in clinics and nursing facilities. The scale is durable, having a sturdy

enameled steel body, a durable molded plastic seat, heavy-duty footrest, and heavy-duty caster wheels for easy

portability.

The Rice Lake Mechanical Chair Scale comes in two models:

• RL-MCS: lb/kg (440 lb (200 kg) capacity)

• RL-MCS-10: lb only (450 lb capacity)

2.0 Installation Instructions

You will receive your Mechanical Chair Scale partially assembled. Those items that need additional assembly

are:

• Pillar and beam assembly to scale base

• Steelyard rod connection

• Transport handle onto scale base

• Seat and footrest installation

• Arm rest installation

Remove all components from the shipping crate and lay out in a convenient place.

2.1 Pillar and Beam Installation

The pillar and beam comes separate from the scale base and must be attached prior to use.

Figure 2-1. Pillar and Beam Components

Use the following steps to attach the pillar and beam to the scale base.

1. Have the scale sitting on the floor in an area that allows you to work freely.

2. Lock casters on the frame to eliminate the unit from rolling while assembling the scale.

Push down on latching

assembly to lock

wheels and prevent

scale from rolling.

Figure 2-2. Lock Casters to Keep From Rolling

3. Remove the eight screws from the scale base using a Phillips head screwdriver (as shown in the left hand

photo) and set screws aside in a safe place.

Figure 2-3. Remove Screws From Scale Base and Insert Pillar and Beam into Scale Base Assembly

Insert, but don’t fasten the pillar and beam into the scale base assembly as shown in Figure 2-3 (right hand

side photo).

2.2 Steelyard Rod Connection

The steelyard rod is located inside the pillar. Remove the wire tie(s) holding the steelyard rod during

shipment. Insert the pillar into the base. Once the pillar is inserted to the scale base, the steelyard rod must be

attached to the bottom of the scale. The two photos in Figure 2-4 show the hook of the steelyard rod and an inside

photo of the ring in the scale bottom. Latch the hook onto the D-shaped ring shown in the right hand side picture.

2.3 Installing Transport Handle

Once the pillar and beam are attached to the scale support frame and secured, it’s time to attach the transport

handle to the scale support frame (transport handle is illustrated in Figure 2-6).

1. Remove the four side screws (two on each side as shown in left hand side of Figure 2-6) from the scale

support frame and set aside. The transport handle will attach to the scale support frame using those

screws.

2. Insert the transport handle into the two sides of the scale support frame (shown in right side of

Figure 2-6).

3. Insert and tighten the four screws using a Phillips screwdriver as shown in Figure 2-7.

Figure 2-7. Insert and Tighten Four Screws for Securing the Transport Handle to the Scale Support Frame

The transport handle should fit snuggly against the scale support frame.

2.4 Seat and Footrest Installation

Once the transport handle is attached the next step is to install the molded seat to the scale support frame.

1. Remove the four screws from the movable scale support frame platform and set aside.

2. Set the chair onto the scale support frame platform but do not fasten the screws as the footrest assembly

will also have to be put into place prior to tightening all screws.

3. Remove screws from the chair frame (shown in Figure 2-9) and set aside.

4. Tilt the chair upwards as shown in Figure 2-9. This will allow the installer to get the footrest assembly in

place prior to securing the chair to the platform

Remove four screws from chair

frame (two on each side) and tilt the

chair upwards before installing

footrest assembly.

Figure 2-9. Tilt the Chair Upward Before Installing the Footrest Assembly

5. Slide the footrest assembly onto the chair scale base as shown in Figure 2-9.

Note that the footrest assembly for the footrest is hanging on the metal chair channel and lined up with

the screw holes on the channel of the chair scale frame as shown in Figure 2-10.

Push footrest assembly back

so that the holes line up.

Figure 2-10. Slide the Footrest Assembly So That Holes Line Up

Once the footrest is secured and the screws tightened for it, secure the molded seat onto the chair scale

frame.

6. Secure the four screws (shown below).
