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 Regula-
tions; such as State and Federal OSHA Regulations
and Electrical Codes.
• Carefully check the unit for correct initial func-
tion.
• 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 autho-
rized 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 servic-
ing 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 recom-
mended 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 pro-
tection. 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.
