OPERATING PROCEDURE

Selection of suitable model
( Refer to illustration of Fig.1 )
1). Select the correct model of spring balancer for the loading weight of suspension.

When selecting a balancer , first consideration should be given to the weight the total load to be balanced (tool plus cable or hose plus other attachments).

Example :
Weight of
Power Tool
+
Weight of
Attachment
=
Weight of
Total Load
(14 kgs)
 +
(3 kgs)
 =
(17 kgs)

Select the Spring Balancer Model HSB-22 in the above case
   
2). In the case the weight of total load is between maximum capacity of one spring balancer and minimum capacity of another spring balancer, for instance. Where the total weight is 22 kgs,
 it is better to select a bigger capacity spring balancer, Modle HSB-30 ( 22 - 30 kgs in balance
range ) than HSB-22 (15 - 22 kgs in balance range ). Otherewise it may shorten the life of the sprial spring if smaller model. HSB-22 in this case is selected.
 
  Manner of suspension
 

Make sure the following points, and suspend at the correct place

  • Ensure that the balancer is fastened securely.
  • It must be in a position to operate smoothly, even if, the spring balancer be used in slanting position.
  • Be sure to fit a secondary support chain or wire rope sling.
    ( Make sure there is enough slack in secondary support chain, so as to be able to turn the top hook freely ).
  • Avoid possibility of colliding with another spring balancer, when installing two or more balancers on a trolley.
  NOTE :- ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE TOP HOOK, HOLDING THE BALANCER, IS FREE TO ROTATE.
