When starting up a balancer, we suggest that the following procedure is used:
- Connect the balancer to the main structure through the suspension hook, if present, or fixing hole.
- Connect the safety device to the secondary structure.
- Lift the load to be hanged to the balancer.
- Hang the load to the balancer through the proper hook/snap hook.
- Lower the load by unwinding the balancer's rope and adjust the stroke limiter clamp to avoid bringing the load above the operator.
- Adjust the balancer strength as long as the hanged load is balanced. Rotate in the direction of the + sign to increase the strength
of the balancer. Rotate in the direction of the – sign to decrease the strength of the balancer.
In case of installation of the balancer at a considerable height, use the dedicated extension ropes to bring the load at the needed
working height (the load must not be above the operator).
Ensure that the working area is adequately lightened to allow a good overview of the operations and of all the equipment, avoiding
dark areas, dazzling and strobe effects.
Warning!!! For all balancers that do not have a suspension hook, make sure that it is fixed to the main structure in such a way as not
to block the movements (oscillations and rotations) which are functional to the correct operation of the balancer itself.
Always connect the safety suspension (S), with exclusive use of the supplied standard fittings
(Fig.1a/b), to a suitably sized support.
The safety support MUST NOT BE the same one used for the main suspension (A) (Fig.1a/b). If
the main suspension breaks, the max falling distance must not be more than 100 mm. Tighten
the nuts of the clamps 21215 (Fig.1) with a torque of 2 Nm.

To allow the balancer to balance heavier loads within the load capacity accepted, use spanner (D) to turn knob (6) anticlockwise,
identified by the "+" symbol (Fig.2). For lighter loads, press on the end of the spring (9) and turn it clockwise, identified by the "-"
symbol (Fig.3).
ATTENTION: TO REDUCE THE LOAD DO NOT USE THE SPANNER ON THE KNOB (6)! (forcing the knob in the load reduction
direction using the spanner can cause the retaining unit to break).
After adjusting the load, check that the rope can move freely along all its length: the movement must not be limited by the complete
winding of the spring. Check the stroke more than once and according to different speeds.
FOR 9346(L).GD÷9350.GD e 9346NY.GD÷9350NY.GD MODELS ONLY
The 9346(L).GD÷9350.GD e 9346NY.GD÷9350NY.GD balancers are fitted with a mechanism that allows to
block cable rewinding; this allows to work without cable traction, e.g. inside a car (Fig.5).
Blocking is obtained with slow re-ascent of the tool.
To release drum rotation, pull the tool slightly downwards and make it re-ascend at high speed.
To prevent undesired blocking, the ascent must take place at suitable speed.
The locking kinematism may be neutralized by tightening the screw (25) all the way while the load goes up
and down (Fig. 5).
NOTE: a reduction of the ability of the balancer to hold the hanging load might mean that the drum spring is about to break. DO NOT
MODIFY THE BALANCER ADJUSTMENT TO SUSTAIN THE LOAD ANYHOW, INSTEAD CALL IMMEDIATELY THE SPECIALIZED
PERSONNEL AUTHORIZED TO MAINTENANCE.
Do not use by hanging a maximum load greater than the maximum load allowed and by balancing the same through the regulator.

Grip the tool hanging from the balancer and carry out the required operations. Then accompany the tool as far as it balances, on
the vertical line of the balancer, and release it.
The load to be balanced must be hung on snap-hook (24) (Fig.4). Ensure that the snap-hook is closed cor-
rectly after having hung the load.
The cable must never be fully unwound: the work travel must end at least 100 mm before it reaches the
lower limit of the run:
If necessary, move and block the clamp (20) (Fig.4) to limit the upward run.
Do not unhook the load if the clamp (20) (Fig.4) does not lean onto the rope's swaging (POSITION
SHOWN IN FIGURE 4).
- Do not leave the load if it is not in a vertical position;
- Do not swing/throw the hanging load to another operator;
- Do not move the load by pulling the balancer's rope;
- Do not hang loads that are not within the upper and lower ranges of the admissible load-bearing capacity;
- Do not hang more than one tool on the balancer.
