ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:
Never pull cable to device to be retracted. Always lift object to hook. If the hook is accidentally
released when it is extended, it will snap back. Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in
severe personal injury or death.
TOOL ATTACHMENT
Balancer is furnished with a tool clip. Attach tool complete with hose or cable along fittings. To
adjust length of overhang, remove all tension. Pull cable down and position hook at desired
height. Loosen cable stop, slide cable stop upward to roller guide, and tighten. Move cable
stop upward and lengthen overhang of cable will reduce active travel distance 6’3”. For every
foot more of overhang, the active travel will be reduced by a foot.
Overhang can be adjusted by moving cable stop. If, after installation, it is
determined that the overhang of the reel for the active travel required is not
sufficient, an overhang extension cable can be used to extend overhang
without reducing active travel. This is available as an optional item from
AERO-MOTIVE.
SPRING TENSIONING
WARNING: Failure to hold knob could result in damage to internal ratchet components. Hazards or
unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
NOTE: Attach full load including all attachments before adjusting tension.
If the tool attached to balancer cable descends, there is not enough tension on the balancer mainspring. To increase
tension, turn knob (on the front of the balancer) clockwise until desired tension is achieved. Make sure knob has
engaged ratchet teeth on front case before releasing knob. If the cable stop is tight up against the cable guide, there is
too much tension on the balancer main spring. To decrease tension, pull knob out and turn counter-clockwise until pre-
load is relieved from cable stop. Make sure knob has engaged ratchet teeth on front case before releasing knob. After
adjusting tension, pull cable to fullest extension to ensure proper travel is achieved. If cable does not reach full
extension, some tension must be released. If proper tension and extension cannot be achieved, consult factory.
