Owner’s Responsibility

To maintain machine and user safety, the responsibility of the owner is to read and follow these instructions:

•Follow all installation instructions.

•Make sure installation conforms to all applicable Local, State, and Federal Codes, Rules, and Regulations; such as State and Federal OSHA Regulations and Electrical Codes.

•Carefully check the unit for correct initial function.

•Read and follow the safety instructions. Keep them readily available for machine operators.

•Make certain all operators are properly trained, know how to safely and correctly operate the unit, and are properly supervised.

•Allow unit operation only with all parts in place and operating safely.

•Carefully inspect the unit on a regular basis and perform all maintenance as required.

•Service and maintain the unit only with authorized or approved replacement parts.

•Keep all instructions permanently with the unit and all decals/labels/notices on the unit clean and visible.

•Do not override safety features.

Operator Protective Equipment

Personal protective equipment helps make tire servicing safer. However, equipment does not take the place of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work clothing during tire service activity. Loose fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves are recommended to protect operator’s hands when handling worn tires and wheels. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be used by tire service personnel to help prevent injury in typical shop activities. Eye protection is essential during tire service activity. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back belts provide support during lifting activities and are also helpful in providing operator protection. Consideration should also be given to the use of hearing protection if tire service activity is performed in an enclosed area, or if noise levels are high.

Setup Instructions

Receiving

The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as soon as it is received. The signed bill of lading is acknowledgement, for the carrier, of receipt in good condition of the shipment covered by our invoice.

If any of the goods called for on this bill of lading are shorted or damaged, do not accept them until the carrier makes a notation of the shorted or damaged goods on the freight bill. Do this for your own protection.

NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss or damage is discovered after receipt and request him to make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so, prepare an affidavit to the effect that you have so notified the carrier (on a certain date) and that he has failed to comply with your request.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR RECEIPT.

File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support your claim with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill, invoice, and photographs, if possible.

Unpacking the Unit

•Remove the shipping carton from the pallet.

•Remove all loose parts and accessories packed around the unit.

Remove Balancer from Pallet

1. Remove the shipping bolts that hold the balancer to the pallet.

CAUTION

Do not use the control panel, control panel base, accessory storage, faceplate, hood or shaft to lift the balancer.

CAUTION

Use help to remove the balancer from the pallet. The unit is heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed. Dropping the unit may cause personal injury or equipment damage.

2. Lift the balancer off the pallet and place it in its operating location.

Floor and Space Requirements

The balancer must be located on a flat floor of solid construction, preferably concrete. The balancer must sit solidly on its three feet. If the balancer is not level, does not sit solidly on its three feet, or is placed on an unstable floor, the balancer will not function properly and may produce inaccurate balance readings.

Do not operate the balancer while it is on the pallet.

Select a location for the balancer that provides a level, solid floor, and adequate clearance around and above the balancer. Make sure the location selected has enough room above and behind the unit so the hood can be raised completely. The location must also provide working room for mounting and removing wheels. Make sure the area has adequate lighting.

Figure 1 - Space Requirements

Electrical Requirements

See serial tag for the appropriate power requirements of your machine.

Always have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacles in accordance with state and local codes.

2.Fit the wheel guard tube into the support pin, lining up the two sets of holes.

3.Fit the two bolts into the holes and attach the wheel guard on to the support by tightening up the nuts.

Connect to Power

Your factory trained COATS® ServiceTechnician should do the final check to verify the power installation before connecting the balancer to a power supply. Failure due to improper power connection may void the warranty.

Initial Testing

1.Plug the unit into an appropriate power outlet. If the circuit breaker for the outlet is off, turn it on.
