L365 - Dancer Counterweight Issues

The weights seem extrememely heavy. I think I am attaching correctly but the tensioner loses all tension as the dancer arms are now in the up position.

Is there a definitive paper on how to attach and use these things properly?

Any info is appreciated.

Cheers,

Roy K

Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello @Roy_Kuzmich

Please find below screen shoot where you can find how to set up dancer weight:

Moving up or down counterweight you will add or remove weight to the dancer. Feel free to set up as you prefer.

I hope this information helps

OK, so I see that I attached them correctly from the image.

When I have them loaded, the dancer arms move all the way up giving me essentially zero tension down on the take up roll.

What am I doing wrong?

It seems to me that the counterweights are just too heavy.

Hi,

I finally had time to play around with the counterweights.

They work properly with the tension bar in place.

Thanks.

I also found that the User Manual has more information.

Something that I don't generally see. I am usually in the Service Manual.

Hello @Roy_Kuzmich

I'm glad to figure it out.

Thanks @ColorGuy for the comments above and you extra help.
