Installing the balancer

Install the balancer so it can easily be aligned and moved in any direction. The wire must to be able to move without any additional force.

If a cable or any other accessory is attached to the wire, it might shorten the lifetime of the wire, and this may cause the wire to break due to fatigue. Do not attach a tool cable or any accessory to the balancer wire without consulting Atlas Copco.

Install the supplied auxiliary chain.

• Make sure that the auxiliary chain is not too long or too short to interfere with the balancer across its entire working area.

• The chain is always mounted on a separate mounting point from the balancer to prevent risks.

The permitted maximum falling distance is 100 mm.

Before installation make sure that the balancer suspension attachment and the auxiliary chain fixture is safe and stable.

Attach the workload to the snap hook at the cable end.

Adjust the workload, see “Adjusting the workload”.
