Installation and Setup
A factory trained COATS ® Service Technician must perform the
install, setup, and initial test procedures on your 6401 balancer.
Do not attempt to install and setup the unit yourself. Accurate
and reliable operation of your unit depends on proper installa-
tion. Please contact COATS
® directly at 1-800-688-9240 for the
Certified Service Partner nearest you.
Floor and Space Requirements
The balancer must be located on a flat floor of solid construc-
tion, 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 will produce inaccurate balance readings.
Do not operate the balancer when it is still bolted down or
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
(Figure 1). 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.
