Install the balancer before using it. This operation is to be carried out by skilled personnel who must comply with
the directions outlined in this manual: a wrong installation could cause injury/damage to people/property.
This manual contains important information that the user must adhere to in order to use the balancer
safely. Be sure to have clearly understood all the instructions before using the balancer. Failure to do so
could cause injury.
The balancer was built in conformity with European Community Directives that were pertinent and applicable when the balancer
was put on the market and that entail the CE marking of the product.

Choosing the balancer
ATTENTION: when choosing the balancer, check that the ATEX classification on the plate is suitable to the
environment, the type of potentially explosive atmosphere and the intended use.
ATTENTION: if the balancer must work in contact with chemically aggressive powder, liquid, or gas, verify chemical
compatibility by calling TECNA spa.
Assess the total load to be balanced: tool, accessories and sections of hoses or cables to be lifted by the balancer. The overall
load to be balanced must fall within the balancer's minimum and maximum load-bearing capacity.
Starting up the balancer
Connect the ground cable to the cap screw marked
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.
