Spring Balancer Users Manual
Loosen the auxiliary wire rope or chain to
allow the balancer to move freely.
The slack must be such that the balancer
stops within 100 mm if the top hook or the
support member (metal hanger) for the
balancer are damaged and the balancer
falls.
Do not pull out the wire rope when the balancer is not loaded. If the wire rope is
released by mistake while being pulled out without a load, it may quickly be wound
up, causing an injury.
If the spring tension is set higher than the maximum capacity, not only will the
specified stroke not be obtained, but the life of the spring will also be reduced. Also, if
the spring tension is set lower than the minimum capacity, the fall-arrest device will be
activated and prevent the vertical movement of the tool (equipment).
