It is highly recommended not to do this step alone. Two persons are required to avoid any damage of the instrument in case of a shock or an incautious movement. Because of the weight of the instrument, it is not recommended to lift the unit on your own.
9. Carefully place the height gauge on the measuring surface keeping it in a horizontal position.
The MICRO-HITE+M are equipped with a handle directly fixed on the carriage system.
Instruction manual for MH & MH+M
This handle is used for manual fast displacement of the probe between two measurement zones. It is very fragile and no force whatsoever must be applied on it, except for the force applied for normal displacement during a measurement.
It cannot be used as a handle when moving the instrument as it could be heavily damaged or completely broken.
10. Delicately unpack the plastic cover protecting the base of the height gauge
11. Make sure you have access to the displacement lugs.
