1)  Lower  the  tool/device,  extending  Wire  rope  to

 

the

 

maximum cable travel. 

2)  Position  Plug  (48)  at  the  casing  opening  as 

shown in Fig. 6, and engage the drum lock. 

 

 

See Chapter 4-2 "Drum lock operation". 

3) Move the tool/device upward and downward to 

check  Drum  is  locked  securely.  Remove  the 
tool/device from bottom Hook (40). 

 

 

 

4) Remove the balancer from the fitting and place on the floor. 

    5) Remove Plug (48), and remove old Wire rope from drum.   
    6) Insert new Wire rope from A-side, pass it through Drum. 
    7) Attach the end of Wire rope to Drum and fasten with plug (48). 

8) Install the balancer on the fitting.   
    See Chapter 3-1 

Balancer installation

 

9) Attach the tool/device to bottom Hook, and release the drum lock. 

 

WARNING 

Never release the drum lock before attaching the tool/device. 
If released, Wire rope (38) will snap back and could cause personal injury. 
Always  release  the  drum  lock  after  arranging  the  tension  of  spring  suspending  a  tool.  This  is 
important factor for safety. Never fail to abide by the procedure instructed in the manual.   

   

8. Spring replacement 

 

 

WARNING 

Never remove the spring from the spring case. If removed, the spring will expand explosively and 
cause personal injury.   
Replace the spring assembly as a whole.   

 
Referring to the disassembly drawing (on page13), disassemble the balancer using the following 
procedure.   

1) A. When the spring has broken; 

                Remove the tool/device from bottom Hook (40). 
          B. When the spring has not broken; 
                Lift  then  remove  the  tool/device  from  bottom  Hook  (40)  when  Wire  rope  (38)  is  fully 

retracted into Drum (19). 

2) Remove the balancer from the fitting and place on the floor. 

      3) Remove Gauge (50) 

4) Remove Retaining ring (55) from Worm (49). Release all spring tension by turning   

worm (49) counterclockwise until Worm can almost be removed. If the drum lock is engaged, 
check there is no spring tension remaining, and then release the drum lock.   
NOTE: Check the spring tension by pulling Wire rope.   

5) Turn Worm (49) further and remove it.     

      6) Loosen Set screws (13), and remove all Pins (12). 

 

WARNING 

Never  remove  the  suspended  tool/device  before 
checking Drum (19) is locked securely. 
If Drum (19) is not locked securely, the drum lock 
could be released allowing Wire rope to snap back 
or  Drum  to  rotate  suddenly,  possibly  causing 
personal injury. 
Drum lock check is very important for safety.   
Never fail to verify the sufficient in the manual.
