A bushing was added to the tool balancer to safeguard its integrity from incorrect use when unloading the spring. This bushing makes it impossible to unload the spring using a wrench. The only way to unload it is through an appropriate lever foreseen by the instruction manual.

Tool Balancer Inspection The balancer must be visually inspected regularly (e.g. once at each work shift). Specifically, check the state of the suspensions, the fixing screws and self of the hooks and the cable. Also, check the presence an cap on the adjustment system. Specifically, check the state of the suspensions, the fixing screws and self-locking systems (if used), the condition Also, check the presence and correct fit of the red high-visibility impact monitoring locking systems (if used), the condition visibility impact monitoring Regarding rejection criteria (cable replacement), refer to ISO 4309:2017 to check the cables. Check that the rope’s movement is smooth and that it does not make any Do not lubricate the balancer with flammable or volatile fluids Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged labels.

Routine Maintenance Maintenance operations must be carried out by qualified and authorized personnel. Prior to start any maintenance operation: disconnect the power tool from electric or air source. Articulated Arm: it is recommended to clean the tube from dust with a clean and soft cloth. Arm Column (pole) maintenance: periodically (every 6 months / every 20,000 operating cycles) clean the shaft from dust with a clean and soft cloth. After cleaning swipe the shaft with a thin layer of grease to prevent any corrosion. Grease type: NLGI 2 or similar
Safety Mountz recommends wearing safety glasses and protective gloves while operating a torque arm.
Testing and Servicing Torque tools go out of calibration with use. Calibrating a torque tool is a fine- tuning process of bringing the tool back within its tolerance. Regular torque calibration of a hand screwdriver ensures accuracy, repeatable tool performance, and adherence to international standards. We recommend a general once a year calibration interval. However, the user's organization must determine suitable intervals based upon equipment performance, application, degree of usage, and management objectives. Mountz Calibration and Repair Services Mountz Inc. features an experienced calibration and repair staff. Our trained technicians can calibrate and repair almost any tool. Mountz provides rapid service with quality that you can trust as we offer two state-of-the-art calibration labs and repair facilities that can calibrate up to 20,000 lbf.ft. About Mountz Mountz, The Torque Tool Specialists ® , has been a leader in the torque tool industry for more than 60 years. Engineered in the Silicon Valley and serving the globe, Mountz focuses on delivering high-quality torque products, services, and solutions to ensure customers can always proceed with confidence.
