Assembly and Setup
Floor and Space Requirements
Floor must be solid and flat concrete. The
balancer need to be bolted to the floor in normal
service. The balancer may be bolted to the floor
with anchor bolts through the three support feet,
but will require an alternate electrical connection
method. Sufficient space must be provided
above and around the balancer for mounting and
demounting wheels.
Unpacking the Unit
1. Remove the shipping carton from the pallet.
2. Remove all loose parts and accessories
packed around the unit.
Remove Balancer from Pallet
3. Remove the shipping bolts that hold the balancer
to the pallet.
Do not use the control pod,
control pod arm, faceplate, hood or stub
shaft to lift the balancer.
Use help to remove the
balancer from the pallet.
The unit is heavy and the weight is not evenly
distributed. Dropping the unit may cause
personal injury or equipment damage.
4. Lift the balancer off the pallet and place it in its
operating location.
5. Install and tighten the threaded stud
(adapter)into the end of the motor shaft.
Connecting to Power
Consult a licensed electrical contractor for
proper connection that meets local electrical
codes. Power outlets must be located in a
floor raceway or overhead drop if pedestrians
or equipment traffic pose a threat of damage
to the power cord.
The balancer requires a nomina 100 VAC,
50/60 Hz, single-phase power supply with a
three-pin safety outlet.
Electrical outlets must have a solid
connection of less than 1 ohm between the
ground pin and building ground.
Operation with a
defective ground circuit will create a
shock hazard for the operator, damage the
unit electronics, and will void the warranty.
Power and ground requirements must be
verified by the installer or an inspector before
connecting the balancer. Failure to observe
this precaution may void the warranty.
If the balancer is bolted to the floor, a
licensed electrical contractor must be
consulted. Most electrical codes require
“hard” wiring when the balancer is bolted
down.
Initial Testing
1. Plug the unit into an appropriate power
outlet. If the circuit breaker for the outlet is off,
turn it on.
2. Turn the balancer on. The power switch is on
the side of the unit.
