ronments with potentially explosive atmospheres.
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 in order to use the balancer safely.
Be sure to have clearly understood all the instructions before using the balancer.
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.

The intended use of a balancer is to eliminate the constant weight of a tool during a vertical movement.
The balancer is only intended to be used manually by one operator at a time.
The balancer is intended to be used indoors with temperatures between 5°C and 60°C.
For a better use of the balancer, it is recommended that the load is suspended at the centre of gravity.
On those models equipped with a locking device, in order to stop the rope one must activate the device (visible red indicator or closed padlock)
and slowly move the load as far as the pin is fitted into the lock hole (which is placed along the rope stroke every 100 mm approximately).
It is necessary to use, inspect and maintain the balancer in perfect working efficiency in accor-
dance with every regulation with regard to balancers, tools and workplaces.

Static and Dynamic sample testing (Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, Annex I, section 4.1.3) are performed for each production lot.
The static tests are performed by connecting to the balancer a load 1.25 times higher than the maximum allowed capacity then by accom-
panying it to the stroke end (rope all out) for 10 minutes (as reported on DIN 15112:1979).
The dynamic test is performed by checking the proper operation of the balancer (rope extraction and rewinding) for 1-hour time with the
balancer charged 1.1 times the maximum allowed load.

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.
