ATTENTION: when using the balancer, do not exceed the hanging load shifting speed of 0.8 m/s.
ATTENTION: the admissible room temperature interval ranges from +5°C to +60°C.
Grip the tool hanging from the balancer and carry out the required operations. Then accompany the tool as far as it balances, on
the vertical line of the balancer, and release it.
The load to be balanced must be hung on snap-hook (16) (Fig.2). Ensure that the snap-hook is closed correctly after having hung
the load.
The cable must never be fully unwound: the work travel must end at least 100 mm before it reaches the lower limit of the run.
ATTENTION: the electric potential of the hung tool must always be the same as that of the balancer.
If necessary, move and block the clamp (12) (Fig.2) to limit the upward run.
Do not unhook the load if the clamp (12) (Fig.2) does not lean onto the rope's swaging (PO-
SITION SHOWN IN FIGURE 2).
- Do not leave the load if it is not in a vertical position;
- Do not swing/throw the hanging load to another operator;
- Do not move the load by pulling the balancer's rope;
- Do not hang loads that are not within the upper and lower ranges of the admissible load-bearing capacity;
- Do not hang more than one tool on the balancer.
The highest risk linked to the use of the balancer consists in the uncontrolled rewinding
of the rope.
1 If, for any reason, the rope is not rewound by the balancer, DO NOT intervene and call immediately the maintenance service;
2 Never unhook the load if the rope is not completely wound in the drum, prevent the rope from touching the rope-guide.
3 Should you find the balancer with the rope completely unwound and no load attached, DO NOT intervene and call immediately
the maintenance service;
4 During use, the rope must be straight and must not be in contact with any pulley, ring or external structure close to the place where
the balancer is installed and used;
5 The use of the balancer is allowed only with its rope in a vertical position.
6 The adjustment of the balancer stroke must be done so to ensure the positioning of the tool at a height equal or lower to that of
the operator, notwithstanding the place where the balancer is installed.
7 Do not twist (beyond 360°) the rope during use, if the load must turn during operation then provide that the dedicated tool is used.
8 Should the balancer be provided with a locking device, use it when the tool hung to it is not used (end of work shift).

Before proceeding with the tool change, it is necessary to rewind completely the balancer rope without using the stroke adjustment
device as a locking device.
Should the balancer be provided with locking devices, it is also possible to proceed as follows:
- Activate the lock (visible red indicator or closed padlock).
- Unhook the load from the balancer
- Hook the new load; bring it to a vertical position below the balancer with the rope stretched.
- Adjust the balancer, if needed, to balance the new load (when the new load has a different weight).
i
nspection
The balancer must be visually inspected on a regular basis (e.g. once at each work shift). Specifically, check the state of the suspen-
sions (A) and (S) (Fig.1), the fixing screws and self-locking systems (if used), and the condition of the hooks and cable.
To check the cables, regarding rejection criteria (cable replacement), refer to ISO 4309:2011. (See Fig.4 for some
examples).
