agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: A little surprised to find myself inclining to your latter option! But in http://www.redvalve.com/downloads/cutsheet/Knife_Gates/Serie... the weight is given in the tech specs!

earthing


Explanation:
Hi Louisa,

As you can see from the confidence level, a total guess.

"Masa" in Spanish is also used to refer to "earthing", in much the same way as "puesta a tierra". (Although I believe there's a difference between the two which my technologically-challenged brain does not understand).

Might it refer to "earthing" the machine during installation? Does the "Manual de Instrucciones" refer to "masa" instead of "tierra"?
