Ohaus has a great flash tutorial explaining how a triple beam balance works and a second tutorial on the setup here.

Before weighing on your triple beam you need to "zero" the balance. Do this by sliding back all the weight poises (that slide along the beams) so that the pointer is right at the zero line. You might need to turn the quick-zeroing adjustment knob located under the weighing platform a little bit to get it right at the line.

When you set an object on the balance platform, the pointer immediately goes up and is no longer zeroed. To find out the weight of the object, you'll need to slide the weight poises until the pointer is at zero again. Start with the two heavier weight poises and then use the lightest one to do the fine tuning.

To read the weight of an object in grams, add up the number that each weight poise is at when the pointer zeroes. For example, if the heaviest poise is at 500 g, the next one at 20 g, and the lightest one at 3.9 g, then the total weight of the object is 523.9 grams.
