Installation
Prior to installing the product, carefully inspect it for possible shipping damage.
Prior to installation refer to Product Safety Information Manual for all sections of installation.
Owners and users are advised to examine specific, local or other regulations, including American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
and/or OSHA Regulations which may apply to a particular type of use of this product before installing or putting product to use.
Types of Balancer Mounting
Make certain the balancer is properly installed. A little extra time and effort in so doing can contribute a lot toward preventing accidents and
helping you get the best service possible.
Always make certain the supporting member from which the balancer is suspended is strong enough to support the weight of the balancer
plus the weight of a maximum rated load plus a generous factor of at least 300% of the combined weights.
Hook Mounted Balancer Installation
The supporting member must rest completely within the saddle of the hook and be centered directly above the hook shank on balancers
suspended by a top hook. Do not use a supporting member that tilts the balancer to one side or the other.
Place hook over mounting structure. Make sure hook gate is engaged.
Trolley Mounted Balancer Installation
When installing the balancer and trolley, make certain the balancer is centered under the rail or beam. After installation, operate the trolley
over the entire length of the rail or beam with a capacity load. Ensure rail or beam stops are installed before operating the balancer. Use Grade
5 or better bolts when attaching balancer to trolley assembly. Refer to Trolley Suspension Kit in Air Balancer Product Parts Information Manual
16598849.
To avoid an unbalanced load which may damage the trolley, the balancer must be centered under the trolley.
Rail Mounted Balancer Installation
For proper installation of the balancer on a rail system refer to Installation and Maintenance Manual for that rail system.

Air System

The supply air must be clean and free from water or moisture. A minimum of 100 psi (6.9 bar/690 kPa) at the balancer is required to provide
rated capacity. Do not exceed 100 psi (6.9 bar).
Do not exceed 100 psi (6.9 bar) inlet pressure. Do not use a lubricator of any kind. Oil will damage internal components.
Air Lines
The inside diameter of the balancer air supply lines must not be smaller than 3/8 in. (10 mm) based on a maximum of 100 ft. (30 m) between the
air supply and the Balancer. Contact the factory for recommended air line sizes for distances greater than 100 ft. (30 m). Before making final con-
nections, all air supply lines should be purged before connecting to balancer inlet. Supply lines should be as short and straight as installation
conditions will permit. Long transmission lines and excessive use of fittings, elbows, tees, globe valves, etc. cause a reduction in pressure due to
restrictions and surface friction in the lines. If quick-disconnect fittings are used at the inlet of the balancer, they must have at least a 3/8 in. (10
mm) air passage. Use of smaller fittings will reduce performance.
Air Line Filter
It is recommended that an air line strainer/filter be installed as close as practical to the balancer air inlet port. The strainer/filter should provide
10 micron filtration and include a moisture trap. Clean the strainer/filter monthly to maintain its operating efficiency.
To maintain dry air, the frequency for draining the filter should also be based on the condition of the air supply. We suggest the filter be drained
weekly at first. Depending on air supply condition, a proper filter drain schedule should be established.
Moisture in Air Lines
Moisture that reaches the balancer through the supply lines is the chief factor in determining the length of time between service overhauls.
Moisture traps can help to eliminate moisture. Other methods, such as an air receiver which collects moisture before it reaches the balancer
controls or an aftercooler at the compressor that cools the air prior to distribution through the supply lines, are also helpful.
General Operating Instructions
Do not continuously rotate balancer in one direction. Air line damage will occur from continuous rotation potentially allowing the
load to lower. Reverse direction with each cycle of the balancer to prevent twisting and damage to air lines.
