5.1.1
Spring balancer
The bung dropper must always be operated in combination with a weight
relief device (spring balancer).
The spring balancer is secured with a safety chain (2), see Fig. 5.2, which
must be secured in a fixed position irrespective of how the spring balancer
is suspended.
The bung dropper should be positioned above the workplace on the spring
balancer.
Use a trolley to attach the spring balancer to a higher element above the
workplace or to the ceiling.
Hang the bung dropper with the head uppermost if possible.
The height can be readjusted if necessary.
Danger!
Due to the weight of about 4 kg, there
could be a hazard due to the machine
slipping or falling when the weight relief
device is attached or detached.
Danger!
Please note that if the rope rebounds
when unloaded, it is very dangerous for
people and the return spring of the
spring balancer will also be irreparably
damaged. The maximum load specified
on the nameplate must not be exceeded.
For complete information about the spring balancer, read the
corresponding operating instructions for it.
