3.11 Balancer (optional)

Suspend the balancer from a suitable attachment point. You may also use 
an appripriate tripod or stand.

Adjust the desired spring force.
To avoid unnecessary wear and tear, make sure that the balancer moves 
freely.

Adjusting the spring force

• Make sure that the ropes moves freely over its entire length.
• Hang the ion blower pistol onto the lower hook and secure it against 

inadvertently falling off.

• Check the condition of the rope at regular intervals. If damaged, the 

balancer must be replaced at once for safety reasons.

• Do not use the balancer above its maximum load of 1.0 kg.

Warning!

Do not open the balancer! It holds a set of springs which may result in per-
sonal injury if used improperly.

+

To increase the spring force, turn the rotary button 
anticlockwise.

-

To decrease the spring force, turn the rotary button clockwise.
