Installation 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 car-
rier 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, pre-
pare 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 DAM-
AGE 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.
Although COATS responsibility ceases upon delivery
of the shipment to the carrier, we will gladly assist in
tracing lost shipments. Our willingness to assist in
every possible manner does not make COATS respon-
sible for collection of claims, or replacement of lost or
damaged materials.
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.
Setup
Do not use the control panel, control panel
base, accessory storage, faceplate, hood or
shaft to lift the balancer.
Do not attempt to install and setup the unit
yourself. Contact COATS
® as noted below.
A factory trained COATS ® Service Technician must
perform the install, setup, and initial test procedures
on your wheel balancer. Do not attempt to install and
setup the unit yourself. Accurate and reliable operation
of your unit depends on proper installation. Please con-
tact COATS ® directly at 1-800-688-9240 for the
Certified Service Partner nearest you.
Connect to Power
Your factory trained COATS ® Service Technician
should do the final check to verify the power installa-
tion before connecting the balancer to a power supply.
Failure due to improper power connection may void
the warranty.
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.
