Service manual for the Aero-Motive BF Series balancer, covering installation, adjustment, maintenance, and parts replacement.
The Aero-Motive BF Series balancer service manual provides detailed safety instructions, installation steps, and maintenance procedures. It emphasizes the need for a main support device with break strength exceeding five times the load weight and the use of a secondary support chain to prevent the balancer from falling.
The manual explains how to adjust spring tension, replace cables and drum assemblies, and order replacement parts. It includes part numbers, diagrams, and cautions to ensure safe and reliable operation of the balancer in industrial environments.
| Main support break strength | exceeds five times weight of load |
|---|---|
| Maximum cable drop | 6 to 12 inches |
| Spring tension adjustment increment | ¼ turn per click |
| Cable stop travel effect | shortens active travel when moved closer to cable guide |
| Automatic lock activation | engages when tension falls below rated range |
Use a main support device with break strength exceeding five times the load weight, attach a secondary support chain, and secure all pins with new cotter pins.
Place a wrench on the mainshaft and turn it ¼ turn per click, either clockwise to increase tension or counter‑clockwise to decrease it.
Remove the balancer from service, release all spring tension, remove the old cable assembly, attach the new cable assembly, and reassemble the unit in reverse order.
