COATS 700 Solid State Wheel Balancer - Manual (Page 8)

Operating the Balancer
Wheel Mounting
Mount the wheel using the most appropriate
mounting method.
A. Back Cone Mounting—Almost all wheels,
including aftermarket or mag wheels, can be
mounted using one of the back cones. The spring
must be used.
Figure 3 - Back Cone Mounting
1. Place the spring over the threaded stud with the
large end inside the faceplate.
2. Determine which cone best fits the wheel
center hole. Slide the cone onto the shaft with
the large end against the spring.
3. Lift the wheel onto the cone with the inside of
the wheel facing the balancer. Center the wheel
on the cone.
4. For most wheels, the pressure cup should be
snapped onto the hub nut. A nylon spacer (“no
mar” ring) can also be used to protect custom
wheel finishes.
5. Thread the hub nut onto the shaft, and tighten it
against the wheel. The wheel must be forced
firmly against the faceplate. The hub nut must
engage the threads for at least three full turns.
NOTE: If the hub nut will not tighten completely,
use the front cone mounting method.
Failure to tighten the hub
nut properly may result in
the wheel dismounting,
causing personal injury and property damage.
B. Front Cone Mounting—Used when the wheel
cannot be securely mounted using the back cone
method.
Figure 4 - Front Cone Mounting
1. Determine which cone best fits the wheel
center hole.
2. Lift the wheel onto the shaft and push it back
against the faceplate.
3. Slide the cone onto the shaft. Lift the wheel and
center it on the cone.
4. Thread the hubnut onto the shaft and tighten it
against the cone. The hubnut must engage the
threads for at least three full turns.
NOTE: If the hub nut will not tighten completely
because of a lack of threads, use an additional
cone as a spacer between the mounting cone
and the hubnut. The wheel must be forced firmly
against the faceplate.
Failure to tighten the hub
nut properly may result in
the wheel dismounting,
causing personal injury and property damage.
