MOUNTING INSTRUCTION - TRIMMING PROCEDURE
WARNING
The Balancer is delivered under tension. Be carefull
unwinding this balancer.
BALANCER SETTING PROCEDURE
1. Balancer
2. Balancer locking cable (BLC)
3. Balancer safety chain
The balancer is factory delivered at a pre-tension. In order to
make sure the balancer is functioning optimally please follow
the following procedure:
a. After every component of the system is installed, the
balancer pre-tension must be adjusted to its final setting.
Increase or decrease the spring tension until the rubber stop
loosely hits the balancer housing.
b. Add two more ”quarter-clicks” to ensure full retraction of
the balancer cable and hosedrop.
It’s possible the balancer tension needs to be fine-tuned
after the total system is installed and a test run is done. Ideally,
15cm / 6” of the Balancer cable should be exposed when
the MG nozzle is connected the vehicle.
Problem:
The Magnetic Grabber® nozzle hits the ground after discon-
nection.
Solution:
Increase the balancer tension with 1 ”quarter-click”.
Problem:
The ”swing-back” of the hosedrop after disconnection is too
extreme.
Solution:
Decrease the balancer tension with one ”quarter-click”.
INSTALLING THE BALANCER LOCKING CABLE
The BLC’s primary function is to control the point of discon-
nection. As
the hose reaches it’s maximum length the BLC will bottom
out, in turn pulling the MG nozzle from the moving vehicle.
a. Extract the Magnetic Grabber® nozzle up to 10” +/- 2” /
25cm +/-5cm from the door and 20”/0.5m from the ground
(tailpipe height).
b. Measure the shortest distance between the two snap-hooks
of the balancer.
c. Adjust the balancer locking cable to the measured distance.
d. Install the balancer locking cable between the two
snap-hooks.
Please see page 9 for detailed measurements and advices.
SAFETY CHAIN
It is imperative that the safety chain is mounted securely to
the trolley/crab .
