Prior to installing unit, carefully inspect it for possible shipping
damage. Units are supplied fully lubricated from the factory.
CAUTION
• Owners and users are advised to examine specific, local or
other regulations, including American National Standards
Institute and/or OSHA Regulations which may apply to a
particular type of use of this product before installing or
putting the unit into use.
• A falling load can cause injury or death. Before installing,
read "SAFETY INFORMATION".
Mounting
Make certain unit is properly installed. A little extra time and
effort in doing so can contribute a lot toward preventing accidents
and helping you get the best service possible.
Always make certain supporting member from which unit is
suspended is strong enough to support the weight of the unit plus
the weight of a maximum rated load plus a generous factor of at
least 300% of the combined weights. If in doubt, contact a
registered structural engineer.
Securely mount unit to support using six or fourteen 1/2-13 grade
8 capscrews and torque to 76 ft lb (103 Nm) dry or 57 ft lb (77
Nm) lubricated.

WARNING LABELS
(Part number
54115993)
INSTALLATION
The air supply system should be purged for a minimum of 30
seconds prior to connection of the balancer and controls. This will
remove any debris from air lines and help prevent damage to
controls at start up.
• Do not exceed 100 psig (6.9 bar/690 kPa) inlet pressure. Do
not use a lubricator of any kind. Oil will damage internal
components.
• The air supply must be clean and free from water and water
vapor.
Air Lines
The inside diameter of the unit air supply lines must not be
smaller than 3/8 inch (10 mm) based on a maximum of 100 feet
(30 m) between the air supply and the unit. Contact the factory for
recommended air line sizes for distances greater than 100 feet
(30 m). Before making final connections, all air supply lines
should be purged before connecting to unit inlet. Supply lines
should be as short and straight as installation conditions will
permit. Long transmission lines and excessive use of fittings,
elbows, tees, globe valves, etc. cause a reduction in pressure due
to restrictions and surface friction in the lines. If quick-disconnect
fittings are used at the inlet of the unit, they must have at least a
3/16 inch (10 mm) air passage. Use of smaller fittings will reduce
performance.
