INSTALLATION - OPERATION - MAINTENANCE

CAR-MON SERIES LFT

HEAVY-DUTY BALANCER

NOTE:
If balancer is attached to a Car-Mon platform, it should be mounted 
directly above the tubing assembly so the cable hangs as 
perpendicular as possible during use, minimizing wear on the cord 
and the guide.

WARNING
DO NOT

 operate with damage or frayed cable.

DO NOT

 remove load until tension is released.

DO NOT

 lift loads not centered under balancer.

INSTALLATION

1.    Hang the balancer on the Car-Mon platform (if provided) or mount 

directly above the work area securely. The mounting ring can be 
removed if balancer is to be bolted to the platform. The weight of 
the balancer and the tubing drop should be taken into 
consideration when mounting. 

If the balancer is mounted with 

mounting ring, you must install the safety chain provided 
and attach to the building structure, and not at the same 
attachment point as the mounting ring. See instructions at 
lower left.

2.    When the balancer is secure, raise the tubing assembly  to the 

safety clip. 

DO NOT pull the cable down from the balancer to 

attach to the tube assembly! Damage to the balancer or 
injury could result!

       

If the balancer tips to an angle after tubing is attached, try 

mounting the balancer to a location where the coated cable hangs 
as perpendicular as possible.
