Installation
Counterweight Installation
Be aware of the pivoting arms. Either block and clamp the pivoting section in place or have
someone assist in keeping it in place until the weights have been bolted down!
1) Locate the 2-piece weight covers and the 6 plastic clips.
2) Use the Counterweight Configuration Chart to determine the amount of weight required to
balance your TopWinder® wheel and the bolts required to hold the weights in place.
3) Once the required weight configuration has been determined place the rear cover on the back
of the arm as shown below making sure all holes are aligned.
4) Place all required weight(s) onto the arm keeping all holes lined up.
Note:
You may need a screwdriver to help position holes and keep them aligned.
5) Tightly secure all weights in place using the correct 1/2-13 bolts, flat washers, and lock
washers.
6) Once the weights have been secured into position, place the front cover over the weights.
7) D
rill one 1/4” hole thru the top of the Front and Rear Covers at 5/8” from the edge as shown
below.
8) Drill two mo
re 1/4” holes 120 degrees in each direction from the top hole.
Note:
The 3 holes will be equally spaced around the cover. See the image in Step 7 (on the next page).
