Floor and Space Requirements
The balancer must be located on a flat floor of solid construc-
tion, preferably concrete. The balancer must sit solidly on its 3
feet. If the balancer is not level, does not sit solidly on its 3 feet,
or is placed on an unstable floor, the balancer will not function
properly and will produce inaccurate balance readings.
The balancer is not designed to be bolted down, nor will it
function properly if left on the pallet.
Select a location for the balancer that provides a level, solid
floor, and adequate clearance around and above the balancer
(Figure 1). Make sure the location selected has enough room
above and behind the unit so the hood can be raised completely.
The location must also provide working room for mounting and
removing wheels.
Unpack and Setup the Unit
1.
Remove the carton from the pallet.
2.
Remove the shipping bolts in the three support feet.
3.
Cut the strap holding the hood in shipping position.
Do not use the control pod, control pod arm, face-
plate, hood or stub shaft to lift the balancer.
Use help to remove the balancer from the pallet. The
unit is heavy and the weight is not evenly distrib-
uted. Dropping the unit may cause personal injury or
equipment damage.
