Adjusting the tilting point
Although the Balancer can be used with only a wrist strap, Balancer is most likely equipped
with a wrist strap and elbow strap on a slide bar together also called the Human Interface.
This gives the ability to balance the forearm. To move the arm freely the weight of the arm is
balanced.
Warning: The settings of the tilting point are of great importance for the functioning of
Balancer. Changing these positions can result in a severe decrease of the performance or
even malfunction of Balancer. Therefore, only trained persons are allowed to change the
settings of the tilting point.
The desired tilting point of the forearm can be adjusted by shifting the rod to the front or back.
Find such a balance that the forearm in the Human Interface can easily be tilted forwards and
backwards.
The shifting of the rod can be done after loosening the bolt (in the circle) on the bottom of the
bracket. Shift the rod into the desired position, and tighten the bolt.
The more the rod is slid backwards (towards the elbow), the easier arm and hand are tilted
upwards. If the rod is slid more forward (towards the wrist), then the arm and hand are more
easily tilted down.
