and warnings marked on the product.
2. The balancer operates from a) 110Vac, 60 Hz
wall outlet with the supplied 8.5Vac power
converter b) 12Vdc supply. Do not use any other
electrical sources. Use only an EARTHED
electrical power source. Use only a correctly rated
replacement fuse

3. Arrange the power cord so that it will not be tripped
over or pulled, and keep it clear of moving parts.
If an extension cord is used, ensure its current
rating equals that of the power cord supplied.
Immediately replace a damaged power cord.

clean, level floor with no debris under the base.
5. Do not operate the balancer: a) near fumes or
exposed flammable liquids; b) on wet surfaces.

any object. Weights in excess of 100lb (45kg)
should not be lifted unaided.

the machine.
