Spring Balancer Users Manual
Do not fix the top hook. Using the product with the top hook fixed may cause
damage or a fall.
●
Use a support member (metal hanger) with no opening
as shown in the figure on the right, so that the balancer
does not come off while in motion.
● Attach the support member such that the balancer does
not collide with its surroundings.
● When installing multiple balancers alongside, place
them at different heights so that they do not collide with
each other.
Prepare a support member (metal hanger) with a
sufficient strength. Attach the top hook of the
balancer directly to the support member (metal
hanger).
Note: The support member
(metal hanger) and the tool
(equipment) in the figure
are indicated for reference.
Check that the top hook latch is closed.
Ensure that the balancer moves freely.
Prepare an auxiliary wire rope or chain that has
a strength at least 10 times greater than the
maximum capacity of the balancer.
As shown in the figure on the right, attach an
end of the auxiliary wire rope or chain to a
support member (metal hanger) different from
the support member (metal hanger) to which the
top hook has been attached. Attach the other
end of the auxiliary wire rope or chain to the
main equipment of the balancer.
