Check the Balancer Tension

The balancer is delivered from the factory with pre-tension 

already set. After every component of the system is installed, 

you may need to adjust the balancer pre-tension to its final 

setting, to ensure that the balancer is functioning properly. 

Increase or decrease the spring tension until the rubber stop 

loosely hits the balancer housing and cable is retracted.

It’s possible the balancer tension needs to be fine-tuned after 

the total system is installed and a test run is done.
