SERIES BA BALANCER
INSTALLATION
1. Mount the balancer to the CO-X platform by attaching the
balancer clevis to the bracket on the bottom of the platform
and then attaching the safety chain to the ring provided. Never
use the same attachment points for both the clevis and safety
chain.
2. Attach the Tubing Sling to the tubing. (When Nu-Flex crush
resistant tubing is used, an outer sleeve of NE tubing is used to
sit in the sling.) Raise the sling to the balancer and attach to the
steel cable safety clip. DO NOT pull the cable down from the
balancer to attach to the tube assembly-damage or injury could
result!
3. If the balancer does not hang straight, try mounting the clevis in a
different hole on the bracket of balancer. Make sure to replace the
cotter pin on the clevis pin.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
FOR PROPER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT, THE TUBING ASSEMBLY
MUST BE ATTACHED. If necessary, a small extension cable may be used between the balancer and
tubing assembly to adjust height of hanging assembly. This will also decrease the amount of tension
on the balancer when it is pulled down, making the tubing easier to handle and increasing spring life.
IF TUBING ASSEMBLY HANGS TOO LOW:
Turn ratchet lock to "off" position and increase tension by turning shaft counterclockwise with a
wrench until tube assembly is raised to desired height. Care must be taken to not overwind the spring
mechanism.
IF TUBING ASSEMBLY HANGS TO HIGH:
Turn ratchet lock to "off" position and decrease tension, by following these steps carefully.
1. Place wrench on flats of shaft to hold the shaft position.
2. While holding the shaft FIRMLY with the wrench, depress the spring coil on opposite side of
balancer. (CAUTION! As tension is reduced, tool will fall away from the balancer.)
3. Allow the shaft to turn SLOWLY in clockwise direction until tubing is lowered to desired working
height. (CAUTION! Do NOT allow the spring to unwind in an uncontrolled manner! This can result
in damage to the balancer and may result in personal injury.
RATCHET LOCK USE
1. Engage the ratchet lock by pulling cable out to desired position and letting it retract until lock
engages. To disengage the lock, pull cable out slightly - it operates like a window shade.
2. For constant tension use, the ratchet lock may be turned off by truning the on/off knob located on
the spring side counterclockwise. If ratchet lock is properly turnd off, the "clicking" of the ratchet
will no longer be present during use. To insure the knob is turned completely off, it may be
necessary to first pull out some cable and then turn the knob as you allow it to rewind (firmly
holding the cable so that it does not rewind in an uncontrolled manner.)
NOTE: If unit is equipped with Series LFT Retractor, refer to separate LFT O&M manual.
