Inspection of the wire rope
See the figure below and measure the dimension of the wire rope. The wire rope must be
replaced when the dimension has reached the limiting dimension or the limiting number of broken
wires within one pitch. Stop using the balancer and change the wire rope (see “2-3 Replacement
of the wire rope”), or contact us or your dealer.
