Analyze the area you will be working in and dcide what lift length you need. Our balancers come in lengths of4.25-9.85 ft. How exactly should my balancer be suspended? Use the safety chain included with each balancer so there are two points of attachment from the balancer. Hang the balancer vertically over the work space so it is not pulled at an angle, avoiding "yarding." Hanging a balancer at an angle will apply unnecessary strain to the cable. Why isn't my tool achieving the "gravity-free" effect? "Gravity-free" is best achieved when the load is towards the upper capacity range. If this is not the case, add weight to the fixture or tool or consider using the next smallest version within the series that will put the total weight towards the upper capacity range. Why is my balancer locking up? The safety mechanism may have sensed a broken spring or cable, simulating a dropped load. This sudden acceleration of the drum activates the safety mechanism, locking the drum. This may also occur if the weight is too light. How do I unlock my balancer? Hang the weight, tighten and readjust the spring tension. Never unlock the balancer with the cable extended or not attached to the load. The cable could rewind at an uncontrolled speed causing injury. When is it time to replace my cable? When the cable is starting to fray, it is time to contact your distributor for Ingersoll Rand spring balancer accessories to replace your old cable. (tS> Consider all items that are being supported. The tool is not the only weight you should consider. Accessories such as drill bits, sockets, hoses, cables, connectors, etc. will add weight. Example: For a 14.35 lb. heavy duty industrial impact wrench, based on the following capacities: Ingersoll Rand Spring Balancer Line Safety and Ergonomics are key attributes to a balancer. Ingersoll Rand Spring Balancers offer both through features that provide the benefits. Intermediate Capacity lbs (kg) Lift ft (mm) BIDS-7 8.8 - 15.4 (4 - 7) 6.5 (2000) BIDS-10 15.4 - 22 (7 - 10) 6.5 (2000) BIDS-14 22 - 30.8 (10 - 14) 6.5 (2000) BIDS-18 30.8 - 39.6 (14 -18) 6.5 (2000) You should choose a BIDS-10 because it will allow for approximately 2 lbs of extra weight added by accessories. If you chose the BIDS-7, you would put yourself at risk of over-loading the balancer beyond its maximum capacity. PLEASE NOTE: for superior performance and to achieve the "gravity-free" effect, the total suspended load (tool + accessories) should be towards the upper range of the load capacity.
