Trouble with a RCBS 505

[RAVEN1]

I'm a beginning reloader. I just bought a used RCBS 505 scale on Ebay. Before I start calling it names, maybe I need some help ( no instructions came with it). The only way that I can get the scale to hit level before I put any thing in it, is put everything on 0 except the little piece of metal alway to the right, it has to be on 1. Is this right or wrong, I'm thinking everything should be on 0.

First, put the scale where you will work with it. All weights must be on zero and adjust the white foot screw (If you are looking at it, this will be on the left side) in or out to zero the scale and dont move it.

If you would send me a PM with your home e-mail address I would send you the instructions that you don't have.

However...

Insure that the knife edges are clean and in good condition. Place on a level surface. Place powder pan on the weighted holder that is hooked on the end of the beam. Place every movable weight at "0". Now screw the white wheel at the pointer end until the pointer is lined up with the mark on the base (pointer end). You should be ready to go...
