ranslation of the
Install the balancer before using it. This operation is to be carried out by skilled personnel who must comply
with the directions outlined in this manual:
A WRONG INSTALLATION COULD CAUSE INJURY/DAMAGE TO PEOPLE/PROPERTY.
This manual contains important information in order to use the balancer safely.
Be sure to have clearly understood all the instructions before using the balancer.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE INJURY.
The balancer was built in conformity with European Community Directives that were pertinent and applicable when the balancer was
put on the market and that entail the CE marking of the product.
i U
ntended se
The intended use of a balancer is to eliminate the constant weight of a tool during a vertical movement.
The balancer is only intended to be used manually by one operator at a time.
The balancer is intended to be used indoors with temperatures between 5°C and 60°C.
For a better use of the balancer, it is recommended that the load is suspended at the centre of gravity.
It is necessary to use, inspect and maintain the balancer in perfect working efficiency in accordance with every
regulation with regard to balancers, tools and workplaces.
Balancer capacity from minimum to maximum value expressed in kg;
Balancer rope length expressed in mm;
Balancer mass in kg.
DOGA will not be deemed liable for using these balancers for any other application.
m
isUse
Do not permit children or people under age to use the balancer.
Do not work, transit or linger underneath the balancer.
Do not use in food or medical environments.
Do not use outdoors or in environments with corrosive chemicals.
Except for ATEX models, Balancers are not suitable for use in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres.
Do not use with loads beyond those shown on the data plate.

Static and Dynamic sample testing (Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, Annex I, section 4.1.3) are performed for each production lot.
The static tests are performed by connecting to the balancer a load 1.25 times higher than the maximum allowed capacity then by
accompanying it to the stroke end (rope all out) for 10 minutes (as reported on DIN 15112:1979).
The dynamic test is performed by checking the proper operation of the balancer (rope extraction and rewinding) for 1-hour time with
the balancer charged 1.1 times the maximum allowed load.
c t b
hoosing he alancer
Assess the total load to be balanced: tool, accessories and sections of hoses or cables to be lifted by the balancer. The overall load
to be balanced must fall within the balancer's minimum and maximum load-bearing capacity.
s U t b
tarting p he alancer
Assess the range of the work area and, if appropriate, hang the balancer to a roller guide to be able to use it properly in an area
wide enough to carry out the required activities.
If screw-fixing devices are used to install the balancer, use self-locking nuts, split-pins or other safety systems.
In order to avoid anomalous wear, the load must be applied vertically. The balancer must in any case be free to move in its suspension
so that it can line up with the direction of the load.
The balancer must be installed on a structure having an adequate mechanical resistance. Mechanical resistance of the structure >
5*(Balancer weight + Max load).
It is possible to install more than one balancer to the same main structure only if each balancer has an independent connection
point and the structure has a mechanical resistance higher than five (5) times the weight of all balancers plus all maximum loads.
It is possible to install more than one balancer to the same secondary structure (i.e. safety rope) only if each balancer has an
