If the balancer does not release
DO NOT INTERVENE BUT CONTACT THE AFTER-SALES ASSISTANCE SERVICE.
If the cable should project from the balancer cap, it will be rewound immediately.
Centrifugal speed limiter
The balancer is fitted with a centrifugal safety system that locks the drum if the speed exceeds the danger limit (accidental unhooking
of the load, cable breakage, etc.).
If the centrifugal safety system trips, discharge the drum spring IMMEDIATELY and completely, and have the balancer inspected by
an authorised after-sales service centre.
Manual lock
The balancer is fitted with a manual-locking system (Fig.4): turn knob (1) to position (H) to block drum rotation. Turn knob (1) to
position (G) for routine work conditions.
NOTE: for safety reasons, the shape of the shutter that blocks the drum does not allow the shutter to be removed unless it is perfectly
coaxial with the matching hole in the drum: to release the drum, move the load slightly upwards and downwards until you find the
correct position to allow its release.
Use the locking system ONLY with load hanging.
If the balancer cable is not fully wound and no load is hanging, DO NOT intervene and contact the after-sales
assistance centre immediately.
(Option 'B': control from below (Fig.2)
Lower the side of the handle with the RED sticker to lock the drum; lower the side of the handle with the GREEN sticker to release it).
OPTION "RI", insulated rotary suspension (Fig.3)
Permits to electrically insulate the load hung on the balancer, e.g. in the case of suspension of welding devices and/or turn the
hanging tool freely without twisting the cable (15) (Fig.3).
Always comply with the safety regulations relative to the electrical equipment.
Installation: insert the snap-hook (33) into the pin (E) of the rotary suspension Insert the cable thimble (15) into the pin (F); insert
the split-pin (D) and deform it.

Do not make any modification to the rope group and, specifically, DO NOT SHORTEN the rope: if needed, please get in touch with
the supplier or the manufacturer directly.
Never disassemble the balancer. Maintenance is to be carried out only by skilled, authorized personnel.
W
arranty
The use of non-original TECNA S.p.A. spare parts will negatively affect safety and performance and, in any case, it will void the warranty.
The rope and the drum-spring are not covered by warranty.
d

At the end of the work life of the balancer, proceed as follows:
- Rewind the rope completely
- Unhook the load from the balancer
- Unhook the balancer from the primary and safety connections.
