4.
Lift the balancer off the pallet.
5.
Open the accessory box and remove the hood assembly
hardware and hood spring.
6.
Install the hood stop if not already pre-assembled.
Improper hood assembly installation may result in
mechanical switch damage causing the balancer not
to operate. Use help and carefully follow the hood
assembly installation instructions as described
below.
7.
Locate the hood assembly.
8.
Slide one flanged bearing onto the stationary hood bar;
flange to cam (figure 2).
9.
Locate the slot on the hood bracket labeled "Install Pin
Here". The slot is covered by Styrofoam to separate and protect
the mechanical switches, shown in figure 3, that are located
inside the hood bracket. During installation the switch actuator
rod (figure 4) located on the hood assembly can damage these
switches if you are not careful.
10.
Next, install the hood assembly to the hood bracket.
Carefully line up the switch actuator rod so that it contacts the
Styrofoam in the middle of the slot and remains centered as the
stationary hood bar is pushed in. As the stationary hood bar is
pushed in, the actuator rod must push the Styrofoam in. Refer
to figure 5. Be sure the Styrofoam is pushed clear. If not, use a
small screwdriver to push it in and out of the way.
11
. Slide the other flanged bearing into position followed by
the washer, retainer and cap plug (figure 2).
12.
Raise the hood all the way and verify that the hood stop
bracket on the side of the hood contacts the rubber hood stop
solidly. Lower the hood and verify that the other end of the hood
stop bracket contacts the rubber hood stop solidly.
13.
Raise the hood and hold it up.
Use help to hold the hood while attaching the hood
spring. Attaching the spring without holding the
hood in place may cause it to snap open suddenly,
resulting in personal injury.
14.
Hook the other hook end of the hood spring under the
balancer.
15.
Hook the other end of the spring over the pin in the rear
of the hood stop bracket. Make sure the spring fits into the
grove in the pin.
