Always operate, inspect and maintain
this balancer in perfect working order in
accordance with all regulations pertinent
to balancers, tools and workplaces.
● Grip the tool hanging from the balancer and
carry out the required operations.
● Then accompany the tool until it balances, on
the vertical line of the balancer, and release it.
● The load to be balanced must be hung on
hook (18) (Fig.2a/b). Ensure that the hook is
properly closed after having hung the load.
● The cable must never unwind all the way: the
work stroke must end at least 100mm before
the stroke's lower limit. If needed, move and
lock the clamp (16) (Fig.2a/b) to stop the
upward stroke.
● When using the balancer, always don
individual protective gear and closely
adhere to the prevailing accident prevention
regulations.
It is strictly prohibited to:
● Abandon the load if it is not in a
vertical position.
● Swing/throw the hanging load to
another operator.
● Move the load by pulling the
balancer's cable.
● Hang loads that are not within the
upper and lower ranges of the
admissible load-bearing capacity.
● Hang more than one tool on the
balancer.
The sole risk linked to the use of the balancer
consists in any uncontrolled rewinding of the
cable.
This very dangerous event will be avoided by
adhering to the following instructions:
● If you have any doubts concerning the
working efficiency of the balancer, before
performing any kind of inspection be sure to
hold up the hanging tool to prevent it from
falling and unload the spring completely.
● If for any reason whatsoever the balancer
does not rewind the cable, do not do anything
on your own initiative but contact the customer
service at once.
● Never release the load if the cable has not
been fully wound in the drum.
● Should you find the balancer with the cable
unwound and no load applied to it, do not do
anything on your own initiative but contact
customer service at once.

● The user must visually inspect the balancer on
a regular basis (such as, for instance, at each
work shift) especially to check the state of
suspensions A and S (Fig.1), the fixing screws
and the self-locking systems (if used), and the
condition of the hooks and cable.
● Should the cable have the defects shown in
Fig.3, replace it immediately.
● Check that the cable's movement is smooth
and that it does not make any strange noises.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIoNS

Maintenance should be performed by qualified
personnel only.
Overhaul and preventive maintenance is
recommended at regular intervals once
per year.
Do not make any modification to the
cable unit and, specifically, do not
shorten the cable: if need, please get
in touch with Desoutter.
● Do not lubricate the balancer with flammable
or volatile fluids.
● Do not remove any labels.
● Replace any damaged labels.
Never open the spring block and/or
attempt to replace the spring for any
reason whatsoever. This operation
is extremely dangerous and could
cause very serious injury.
Before carrying out any type of check,
make sure the spring is discharged in
actual fact.
Replace the entire spring block (the
spring is not supplied as a separate
spare part)
When disposing of components,
lubricants, etc... ensure that the relevant
safety procedures are carried out.
The use of spare parts other than those
originally supplied by the manufacturer
may result in a drop in performance or
in increased maintenance and level of
vibration and in the full cancellation of the
manufacturer's liability.
