Counterbalance arms and weights
The counterbalance arms attach to the clamp frame of the machine with the screws supplied. The two
counterbalance weights are normally supplied fitted to the arms and need to be set in position to balance
the clamp frame. They are easily adjusted by loosening the screw with a 13mm spanner or socket.
Adjustment is required if a reducing window is fitted. Adjust the weights so that the clamp frame is balanced.
COUNTERWEIGHTS ARE HEAVY ITEMS AND HENCE CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PREVENT
TRAPPING OF FINGERS.
TAKE CARE WHEN ASSEMBLING, LOADING AND UNLOADING COUNTERWEIGHT. HEAVY ITEMS
CAN CAUSE CRUSHING IF MISSHANDLED, MISSUSED OR IF DROPPED.
WHEN LOADING AND UNLOADING COUNTERWEIGHTS ALWAYS ENSURE THE END STOP
LOCKING SPLIT PIN AND WASHER IS REPLACED AT THE END OF THE COUNTERWEIGHT ARM.
Fit the counterweight arm to the
outside of the clamp frame.
Fit the nuts and washers and en-
sure they are tightened fully.
