Safety Instructions

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, 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.

Definitions of Hazard Levels

Identify the hazard levels used in this manual with the

following definitions and signal words:

DANGER

Watch for this symbol:

It Means: Immediate hazards, which will result in

severe personal injury or death.

WARNING

Watch for this symbol:

It Means: Hazards or unsafe practices, which could

result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Watch for this symbol:

CAUTION

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

• Do not override or bypass 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.

It Means: Hazards or unsafe practices, which may
result in minor personal injury or product or property
damage.

Watch for this symbol! It means BE ALERT! Your
safety, or the safety of others, is involved!

Important: Always read and follow operating instructions. • v

Remember R.I.M.

Three Simple Steps To Help Keep Shops Safe

READ INSPECT MOUNT

R.I.M. is a training program developed by Hennessy Industries to help keep tire technicians safe. By following
the basic principles of R.I.M., technicians can avoid situations that can cause catastrophic accidents like tire explo­sions.

R.I.M. stands for read, inspect, and mount:

Read the tire size on a new tire before mounting to make sure it is the proper size for the wheel.

Inspect the wheel for cracks, rust, and or other damage that could cause an unsafe situation.

Mount the tire safely, making sure not to put any part of your body over the tire during inflation.

The most serious of possible accidents is a tire explosion. This is often caused by a tire/rim mismatch.

If a tire explodes on a tire changer, pressure causes it to fly straight up at tremendous speed. If a technician is
standing over the tire, he can be seriously injured or killed.

Hennessy’s R.I.M. program allows the technician to avoid situations that can cause tire explosions and other
accidents. The full program, including training videos, brochures, posters, and other materials, are available from
Coats distributors nationwide.
