Do not exceed this load to avoid overloading the chains and the worm screw mechanism. For engines up to 300 kg, the balancer provides a 25% safety margin. For loads over 400 kg, contact Krollit for 500 or 1000 kg models, if available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the balancer really reduce lifting effort?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Through the worm screw mechanism, the balancer reduces manual effort on the crane pump by 50–70%. With a 300 kg engine, the operator handles an effort equivalent to 90–150 kg on the manual pump. Without the balancer, the effort corresponds to the full 300 kg load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the balancer used with the crane?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspend the balancer from the attachment eye of the 1000 kg crane using the crane hook. Position the engine on the 4 suspension chains, one per corner. Adjust the engine height using the crane pump and the balancer crank. Check that all 4 chains are evenly tensioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the 340 mm adjustment sufficient for different engines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 340 mm adjustment covers most standard engine heights, typically 200–400 mm. For very small engines, height \u0026lt;100 mm, or very large engines, height \u0026gt;500 mm, contact Krollit to check compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I check that the load is balanced on the 4 chains?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObserve the tension of the 4 chains during lifting. All must be evenly tensioned, and none should hang loose. If one chain is slack, the engine is not correctly positioned on all 4 chains. Re-adjust the position before lifting completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the balancer remain permanently suspended with an engine loaded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is designed for temporary positioning and lifting, for hours, not days. If the engine must remain suspended, support it with hardwood blocks or fixed supports and unload the balancer. Keeping the chains under tension for days causes excessive stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a Güde balancer and balancers from other brands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Güde balancer is optimized for Güde cranes 1000 kg, 2000 kg and 1000.1 kg: attachment eye dimensions and chains are compatible. Balancers from other brands may not fit correctly. Always check compatibility before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the balancer maintained?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonthly inspection: check chain tension, safety hook integrity and smooth operation of the adjustment crank. If the crank becomes “stiff”, apply spray lubricant, such as WD-40. Annual inspection by a Krollit technician: delivery time 5–7 days.
