Safety Instructions

WARNING
  • Install the balancer correctly.
    Incorrect installation could cause personal injury or damage to the balancer or other equipment.
  • Always attach a secondary support cable or chain.
    It is required to protect personnel in case of failure of the top hook or the fitting.
CAUTION
  • Fasten the spindle using a 6 mm hexagon socket screw key when attaching or removing the nipple.
  • Never supply air before attaching the tool / device.
  1. Attach the nipple to the balancer (see Fig - 1).
  2. Connect the air supplying hose to the nipple.
    NOTE : Leave some slack in the hose to allow the balancer to rotate freely.
  3. Prepare a fitting that can support at least 10 times the maximum capacity of the balancer.
    NOTE : The fitting must have no opening as shown in Fig - 2 to prevent the balancer from disengaging when it swings.
  4. Attach the top hook of the balancer directly to the fitting.
    Check the latch is closed.
    NOTE : Take care the balancer does not hit surrounding objects.
    Make the mounting height different for each balancer to avoid collision.
  5. Check the top hook can swivel freely.
    NOTE : Do not fasten the top hook to the balancer body.
  6. Prepare a secondary support cable or chain that can support at least 10 times the maximum capacity of the balancer.
  7. As shown in Fig - 2, attach an end of the secondary support cable or chain to the balancer body, and attach the other and to a separate fitting which does not support the balancer.
    NOTE : Leave some slack in the secondry support cable or chain to allow the balancer to rotate freely.
    The slack must be a suitable length so that the balancer will stop within 100 mm when falling in case of failure of the top hook or the fitting (see Fig - 2).
