Sound Levels are below 70 db (A).
Choosing the Balancer
Assess the total load to be balanced: tool, accessories and sections of
hoses or cables to be lifted by the Balancer.
Starting up the Balancer
Assess the range of the work area and, if need be, hang the Balancer
on a carriage to be able to use it properly in an area wide enough to
carry out the required activities.
Use hole A for the main suspension and hole S for the safety
suspension.
If screw fixing devices are used to install the Balancer, use self-locking
nuts, split-pins or other safety systems.
WARNING
Refer to figure 1a for loads up to 4 kilos otherwise refer to figure
1b for loads exceeding 4 kilos.
Using the Balancer
•
Grip the tool hanging from the Balancer and carry out the
required operations. Then accompany the tool until it balances, on
the vertical line of the Balancer, and release it.
•
The load to be balanced must be hung on hook 24 Fig.4. Ensure
that the hook is properly closed after having hung the load.
•
The cable must never unwind all the way: the work stroke must
end at least 100 mm before the stroke's lower limit.
•
If need be, move and lock the clamp 20 Fig.4 to stop the upward
stroke.
•
When using the Balancer, always wear individual protective
gear and closely adhere to the prevailing accident prevention
regulations.
It is strictly prohibited to:
•
Abandon the load if it is not in a vertical position.
•
Swing/throw the hanging load to another operator.
•
Move the load by pulling the Balancer's cable.
•
Hang loads that are not within the upper and lower ranges of the
admissible load-bearing capacity.
•
Hang more than one tool on the Balancer.

The overall load to be balanced must fall within the Balancer's
minimum and maximum load-bearing capacity.
Always connect the safety suspension S, using exclusively the
supplied standard fittings (Fig.1a/b), to a suitably sized support.
The safety support MUST NOT BE the same one used for the main
suspension A (Fig.1a/b). If the main suspension breaks, the max
falling distance must not be more than 100 mm. Tighten the nuts of
the clamp 21215 (Fig. 1) at a torque of 2 Nm.
To avoid anomalous wear, the load must be applied vertically and
in any case the cable must be free to line up with the direction of
the load.
A risk linked to the use of the Balancer consists of any
uncontrolled rewinding of the cable. This very dangerous event
will be avoided by adhering to the following instructions:
•
If you have any doubts concerning the working efficiency of the
Balancer, BEFORE performing any kind of inspection be sure to
hold up the hanging tool to prevent it from falling and UNLOAD
THE SPRING COMPLETELY.
•
If for any reason whatsoever the Balancer does not rewind the
cable, DO NOT do anything on your own initiative but contact
customer service at once.
•
Never release the load if the cable has not been fully wound in
the drum.
•
Should you find the Balancer with the cable unwound and no
load applied to it, DO NOT do anything on your own initiative but
contact customer service at once.
