INTRODUCTION
Combining Custom and Accuracy with the Salter Pro-Helix Mechanical Scale
The Salter Pro-Helix Mechanical Scale is proof of the accuracy and durability of conventional weighing techniques. This scale is a monument to Salter’s legacy in the industry as well as a tool for precise weight measurement, combining over 250 years of experience with modern design.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
- Dimensions: 20 x 14.9 x 6 inches
- Weight: 9.6 Pounds
- Weight Limit: 400 Pounds
- Material: Vinyl
- Item Model Number: 200WHGYLKR
PRODUCT FEATURES
- At 18.25 inches by 13 inches, the scale offers enough of room for feet to land, comfortably fitting up to size 12 shoes. A steady platform and enough size guarantee a safe and precise reading each and every time.
- One notable feature that makes it easy to read is the extra-large 7.5-inch dial. It serves a worldwide clientele and guarantees its usefulness in a range of contexts by displaying both pounds and kg measurements.
- The scale is built to last a long time thanks to its powder-coated steel foundation and resilient vinyl mat. It can be used in settings where stability is crucial because of the non-slip texture added to the mat.
- The scale’s traditional white and gray color scheme let it blend in with any decor and exudes a timeless elegance that balances its usefulness.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Before first use, remove the plastic key on the scale bottom to release the weighing mechanism.
- Place scale on a hard, level floor surface.
- Before using scale, allow it to reach room temperature; then put scale through several weighing cycles consisting of:
- Step on scale and allow pointer to come to rest.
- Step off scale and allow pointer to come to rest.
- This will exercise and settle the internal mechanism.
READJUSTMENT TO ZERO
- After weighing cycles are completed, set the pointer to zero by turning the Zero Adjust Knob, located near the bottom edge of the dial (see illustration).
- If scale is relocated, readjustment to zero may be required. Repeat above procedure.
- Place feet on scale so weight is evenly distributed. Stand still while the scale measures your weight.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- An occasional wiping with a soft cloth and mild soap will keep your scale attractive.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Your scale does not require oiling or lubrication of any kind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up the Salter Pro-Helix Mechanical Scale for the first time?
Before using the scale, remove the plastic key from the bottom to release the weighing mechanism. Place the scale on a hard, level surface and allow it to adjust to room temperature. Perform several weighing cycles, stepping on and off the scale, to settle the internal mechanism. Finally, adjust the pointer to zero using the Zero Adjust Knob.
Can the scale be used on carpeted surfaces?
For accurate readings, the scale should be used on a hard, level surface. Using it on a carpet can lead to incorrect weight measurements due to the uneven surface.
How do I recalibrate the scale?
After several uses or if the scale has been moved, recalibrate it by setting the pointer back to zero using the Zero Adjust Knob. This may also be necessary after the scale has undergone temperature changes.
How accurate is the Salter Pro-Helix Mechanical Scale?
The scale is designed for high precision and accuracy, measuring weight in 1-pound increments. However, like any mechanical scale, slight variances can occur.
Is the scale waterproof?
The scale is not waterproof. It should be kept in a dry area and should not be submerged in water or exposed to excessive moisture.
How do I clean the scale?
Clean the scale with a soft cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface and internal mechanism.
What should I do if my scale is not providing consistent readings?
Ensure the scale is on a level surface and recalibrate it to zero. Also, check if the scale is at room temperature as extreme temperatures can affect its accuracy.
Can the scale measure in kilograms?
Yes, the dial on the Salter Pro-Helix Mechanical Scale features both pound and kilogram measurements for versatility.
How do I make a warranty claim?
If you encounter issues covered under the 5-year limited warranty, contact Taylor Precision Products with proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover damages from misuse or unauthorized repairs.
Can the scale be used by children?
Yes, children can use the scale, but supervision is recommended to ensure they stand still and centered on the scale for accurate readings.
How often should I perform the weighing cycles for calibration?
It's recommended to perform several weighing cycles when the scale is first set up, moved to a new location, or experiences significant temperature changes.
How do I know if my scale is level?
You can use a standard level tool to check if the surface under your scale is flat. Alternatively, consistent readings when stepping on the scale in different positions can also indicate that it is level.
