Adjusting weight balance of the suspension arm

•
Check the Floor Stand S for damage before each use. If it is damaged, it must first be repaired.
•
Prior to each application, perform a weight balance of the articulated suspension arm, until the
stereo microscope keeps it's set height in all positions of the articulating arm.
The stereo microscope must not lift up or sink down by itself.
There is a risk of pinching fingers between the points marked with the sign "Risk of
pinching". Do not touch these points while Floor Stand S or it's parts are being moved.
Perform the weight balancing only after the entire microscope setup has been installed. A maximum
weight of 7 kg may be applied to the articulated suspension arm. The weight of tilting head and
Stemi mount must be taken into account!
•
Loosen the brake screw (Fig. 6/1) of the articulated suspension arm.
•
Insert an 8 mm Allen key into the opening of the joint cover (Fig. 6/2).
•
Use the Allen key to turn the setting screw for weight balancing (Fig. 6/3) until the equipment is
balanced.
•
Check the weight compensation in several height positions of the articulating arm.
•
Tighten the brake screw step by step until the desired torque of the stroke movement of the
suspension arm is reached.
