P/N 5900192 — Rev. F — March 2021
Unpacking
Use caution when unpacking the Balancer from its shipping container. You do not want to damage the
unit, misplace any of the components that come with it, or hurt anyone.
⚠
CAUTION Make sure to use an appropriate lifting device, such as a Forklift or Pallet Jack, to
move the Balancer while it is on its pallet. Make sure only personnel who are
experienced with material handling procedures are allowed to move the Balancer.
The Balancer is heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed; dropping or
knocking over the unit may cause equipment damage or personal injury. Do not lift
the Balancer by the Shaft Housing; it is not strong enough for that.
We recommend you unpack the Balancer in the area where you are going to set it up; you want to
move it around as little as possible.
To unpack the Balancer :
Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, ANSI-approved eye protection, back belts, and hearing
protection.
Remove the carton by flipping down the metal tabs at the bottom and pulling off the top.
⚠
CAUTION Use caution when pulling off the carton top.
Remove the straps and plastic wrap that held the Balancer components during shipping.
Remove the shipping bolts that are holding the Balancer to the Pallet.
Lean the Balancer over and reach underneath it
to pull out the Accessory Box .
⚠
CAUTION Use caution when pulling out the Accessory Box. The Balancer and the Accessory
Box are heavy.
Move the Balancer off the Pallet, then move it to the desired location.
Important : Do not lift the Balancer by the Shaft Housing; it is not strong enough to bear the
weight of the Balancer.
⚠
CAUTION Ranger recommends having at least two people move the Balancer; it is heavy. If it
is dropped or falls, it could cause injuries and the Balancer could be damaged.
