WARNING!
INTENDED USE
The zero gravity balancer is exclusively designed for relieving (counterbalancing) the weight of
hand-held tools (such as drilling machines, screwdrivers, welding tongs, slaughterhouse ma-
chines) and feed lines (such as cables and hoses) during work.
Any other or additional use shall be considered non-intended use! The manufacturer/supplier
shall not be responsible for any damage resulting from such use. The risk posed by improper use
shall be borne by the user alone.
The zero gravity balancer may only be operated within the load range specified on the rating
plate.
Using the balancer outside the field of application described above shall void the warranty unless
the written consent of Carl Stahl Kromer GmbH was obtained beforehand.
The zero gravity balancer may only be operated, installed, serviced and repaired by specially
trained personnel.
IMPROPER USE
The zero gravity balancer must not be used as a c rane.
CAUTION!
The drum lock must not be used for load replacement.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – ACCIDENT PREVENTION
No changes may be made to the balancer or its accessories without the express written consent
of the manufacturer.
The safe use of this product is only ensured if you have fully read and understood these user and
safety instructions and observe them strictly during work.
The balancer may only be operated and installed by specially trained personnel. These persons
must previously have been informed about the potential hazards involved in performing these
tasks.
The balancer may only be serviced and repaired by qualified personnel that has been specially
trained or authorized by the manufacturer.
Taking the balancer apart is extremely dangerous and therefore strictly forbidden.
The fixtures to which the zero gravity balancer and the anti-crash safety device are to be fastened
must provide sufficient stability!
Never operate the zero gravity balancer without the safety equipment supplied (anti-crash safety
device) in place.

Severe, even lethal injury possible!
NEVER stand, work or pass under suspended loads!
Danger of very serious injury!
Hook or unhook loads only when the cable is FULLY retracted.
NEVER remove a load from an extended cable. Be aware that the cable
may snap back violently in such case!
An unloaded cable snapping back violently may break out of its
mount, thus being no longer properly anchored inside the zero gravity
balancer. Be sure to withdraw the balancer from service immediately
in any such case, mark it accordingly, and inform your superior or the
responsible person.
Be sure to operate the zero gravity balancer only at the suspended
load. Grasping the cable stop buffer or the cable clamp for this pur-
pose may crush your fingers and therefore is strictly forbidden.
If tools are pulled out at an angle exceeding the permitted angulation
of 5°, they could swing to and fro violently when set free, causing inju-
ries as a result.
Before allowing personnel to work with the zero gravity balancer, the
operator is required to instruct them in the proper handling of the de-
vice in accordance with these Instructions for Use.
Never operate the zero gravity balancer without the safety equipment
in place (e.g. suspension (2), anti-crash safety device (3) or load hook
(9)! Never remove such safety devices or modify them in an attempt
to make them inoperative!
It is strictly forbidden to use defective zero gravity balancers. For ex-
ample, this would be the case if a balancer crashes down, or if its fall
is stopped by the anti-crash safety chain. Such a balancer must not
be reused unless both the strained anti-crash safety device (3) and
the housing have been replaced.
Only specially authorized and trained persons are permitted to repair,
disassemble or reassemble the zero gravity balancer. Note that it is
mandatory to use original spare parts from Carl Stahl Kromer GmbH
in any such case, as only genuine parts meet the required safety cri-
teria.
