Installation of a Road Force Touch

®

 / GSP9700 Series Balancer should be completed 

only by an authorized Hunter Service Representative.

This document provides the information needed to install a Road Force Touch® / GSP9700 Series Balancer.

PLACemeNT

The balancer should be placed in a dry area that is not subject to moisture. Clearance for the operator at the front 
and to the right of the balancer should be at least 3 feet (0.91 meter). There must also be ample clearance at the 
rear of the balancer to allow the safety hood to open fully. The electrical power cord should be positioned so that 
it cannot be walked on, driven over, or tripped over.

FLOOR ReqUIRemeNTS

The balancer should be placed on a 

solid

 concrete floor. Any floor condition, which might allow the balancer to 

move during operation, is unacceptable.

If the location selected is a hard surface floor that is hollow underneath, place the balancer over a supporting 
beam or close to a supporting wall.

POweR ReqUIRemeNTS

The customer must furnish a 10% / -15%, 10 amp 50/60 Hz single-phase electrical supply for the 
balancer. This machine must be connected to a 20 Amp branch circuit. Please refer all power source issues to a 
certified electrician.

The power cord supplied utilizes a twist lock connector, NEMA L6-20P. The power cord may need modified to 
match the available electrical receptacle for your region. For instructions to replace the single-phase power plug 
with a three-phase NEMA L15-20P power plug refer to form 5350T. Changes to the electrical power cord, plug, 
and/or power source must be performed by a certified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.

Figure 1

PNeUmATIC ReqUIRemeNTS

The customer must provide a low-pressure air supply (between 100-175 psi (6.9–12.0 bar)). Necessary for 
balancers equipped with the Auto-Clamp and Inflation Station. A moisture trap and/or filter is necessary to 
provide clean, dry air.
