READ CAREFULY THIS MANUAL BEFORE THE INSTALLATION
1- SAFETY TECNOLOGY
One of the main objectives of the companies is the reduction of production costs and at the same
time to increase productivity. In this context, the ergonomics in the workstation is of importance
maximum. The Draw™ Retractors Balancers provide safety and convenience in the production
and assembly systems. Your constructive manner make them safe and durable as well as an
indispensable item in the workbenches and assembly lines.
2- INSTALLATION MODE
Hang the balancer by swivel hook assembled on its top. The balancer should be placed directly
over the work area. Your assembly must be done in such a way that minimizes the contact of the
cable in the cable guide, in other words, perpendicularly. To prevent the fall/dropping of the
balancer, install and secure, as indicated in the figure, a safety chain. The length of the safety
chain should be the lowest possible, preventing that in case of rupture of the hook of sustaining
the balancer does not fall more than 150 to 300 mm.
CORRECT
Keep the load hanging
perpendicularly.
Fig. A
The fitting with trolley allows a better operation of the balancer and allows a greater area of
coverage.
A- The Draw™ Balancers models P35 to P120 leave factory with steel
cable of the 2,2m useful and 0,5m additional cable that is outside the
body of the balancer which may be increased, if the user want, rising
the cable gland (never down the cable gland because the cable will be
loose and may overlap, locking the balancer).
B- All Draw™ Balancers is factory preset to the specified mid-range
load. Ex: a balancer model P-35 has specified, on the label, the
capacity from 32 to 38 kg and leaves factory preset to load of 35 kg.
P70 from 64 to76Kg
P80 from 72 to 86Kg
P90 from 82 to 96Kg
P110 from 94 to 108Kg
P110 from 104 to 116Kg
P120 from 112 to 132Kg
P35 from 32Kg to 38Kg
P40 from 36Kg to 43Kg
P45 from 42Kg to 49Kg
P50 from 47Kg to 54Kg
P55 from 55Kg to 58Kg
P60 from 56Kg to 65Kg
INCORRECT
Working with the inclined
load causes premature wear
of the cable and the reel and
excessive effort from the
operator.

C- To reload the balancer and adapt it to the workload, turn clockwise the
hex nut (item 35) using a 5/8 (16 mm) wrench. To download, turn counter-
clockwise the same nut (see figure B). Attention: Never download the
balancer with the load hang down on the cable.
D- The balancer has on the back a handle (item 43) that locks the reel in 6
(six) positions at each turn. In this way, it is possible to handle the load
without any effort from the operator (see figure C).
3 - MAINTENANCE
A- Prior the maintenance, download completely the spring tension as
indicated in item 2 C until the cable is completely free of tension. Remove
the frontal cover then remove the reel spring set, afterwards inspect
springs, bearings, cap and pinion, observing all components.
B- It is important to examine the terminal of the cable by removing the
plug (item 29) to detect any premature wear (see figure D).
CABLE REPLACEMENT
When the cable indicates any sign of damage, this should be replaced immediately. Better to
change the cable than run the risk of falling, losing the load or injuring the operator.
To replace the cable, it is not necessary to disassemble the balancer, remove the spring tension or
remove it from its working position.
Simply move the cable to its lower end exposing the plug (item 29 - Fig. D) of the reel, as shown in
Fig. D. Engage the lock (item 43 - Fig. C) and remove the load. Remove the plug and the old
cable.
Place the new cable and replace the plug. Replace the load and then release the look (item 43 -
Fig. W)
BRAKE
The Draw™ Balancers P35 to P120 models have a fine adjusting brake
system on the front cover. This system is not factory preset. The brake is
activated by the allen screw (item 22 – Fig. E), which presses the brake
against the spring case. This allows a softer load return. When the desired
adjusting is reached, tighten the nut (item 23 - Fig. E) to hold it.
SAFETY
These balancers have double security system:
A - Reel Lock - In case of sudden spring rupture this system is activated. In the
absence of spring traction, the spindle-pinion system immediately retracts and
the latch (item 32 - fig F) locks on the shoes of the reel bottom.
B- Malt Cross (star) is activated in case of cable rupture,
preventing the central spring pulled by the load and suddenly without traction,
return at high speed avoiding other damages. (Item 50/28 - Fig G)

4 - WARRANTY
Always use original Draw™ parts in replacing.
The Draw™ Balancers have 6 months warranty against manufacturing defects except for the
cable, whose durability depends on the handling of the moved load, so inspect the cable every 15
days by checking if there was no disruption of some of the wires that composes the weft.
Remember that the Draw™ Balancers are manufactured with first-class materials, so you will have
a long-life balancer. Thank you for purchasing our products.
