To prevent overflow from the collecting bucket, empty the bucket after long periods of precipitation, and latest when the collecting bucket is 80 % full. Once or twice a year is a suitable interval.

Any overflow causes inaccurate measurements, but does not damage the balance system.

Alternatively, use an accessory drain pump for emptying. In that case, remove the pipe housing first.

  1. Unscrew the three knurled screws on the pipe housing.
  2. Remove the pipe housing.
  3. Carefully remove the collecting bucket and empty it. If necessary, ask someone to help.
    CAUTION A full collecting bucket is heavy. Handle the collecting bucket carefully, so that it does not fall and injure you or damage the balance system.
  4. Position the pipe housing (note the position of the alignment aid).
  5. Retighten the three knurled screws.
