DANGER
There is stored energy built up by high
tensioned compression springs inside the
balancing device! When a coil is cut the
released tension creates a spatter of
sparks and flames.
The working area must be free of flam-
mable materials. Position the balancing
device so that the spatter will be directed
away from personnel.
Cut at least eight coils of the spring inside
the housing.
Double-check the number of coils cut and
make sure all the tension in the spring is
removed.
Cut more coils if there is still tension in the
spring.
