5 The use of the balancer is allowed only with its rope in a vertical position.
6 The adjustment of the balancer stroke must be done so to ensure the positioning of the tool at a height equal or lower to that of
the operator, notwithstanding the place where the balancer is installed.
7 Do not twist (beyond 360°) the rope during use, if the load must turn during operation then provide that the dedicated tool is used.
8 Should the balancer be provided with a locking device, use it when the tool hung to it is not used (end of work shift).
After the intervention of the devices that avoid the load fall or the uncontrolled rewinding of the
rope, a revision of the balancer is necessary. To this end, contact your dealer.
When the balancer is used with an electrical tool, please refer to the user manual of the electrical
tool for the management of eventual residual risks.
Do not use the balancer by holding it from the rope; hold only the snap-hook or the hanged tool.

If the balancer is provided with no locking device, before proceeding with the tool change, it is necessary to rewind completely the
balancer rope without using the stroke adjustment device as a locking device.
- Activate the lock (visible red indicator or closed padlock).
- Sustain the load in a different way (not through the balancer rope).
- Unhook the load from the balancer
- Hook the new load; bring it to a vertical position below the balancer with the rope stretched.
- Deactivate the lock (visible green indicator or open padlock) paying attention to the possible vertical movement of the new applied
load.
- Adjust the balancer, if needed, to balance the new load (when the new load has a different weight).
Do not move away from the balancer if a load is not hooked and the locking device is activated
(visible red indicator or closed padlock).

NSPECTION
To check the cables, regarding rejection criteria (cable replacement), refer to ISO 4309:2011.
(See Fig.5 for some examples).
- check that the rope's movement is smooth and that it does not make any strange noises;
- do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged labels;
- the balancer must be inspected at least once a year by skilled, authorized personnel.
In case of unusual behaviour of the balancer, contact your dealer.

ATTENTION: use the locking system ONLY with load hanging;
ATTENTION: 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 "RI", insulated rotary suspension (Fig.5)
Permits to electrically insulate the load hung on the balancer, e.g. in the case of suspension of welding devices and/or turn the
