CHAPTER 2 – GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY
•
The wheel balancing machine should only be used by duly authorized and trained personnel.
•
The wheel balancing machine should not be used for purposes other than those described in the
instruction manual.
•
Under no way should the wheel balancing machine be modified except for those modifications
made explicitly by
THE MANUFACTURER
.
•
Never remove the safety devices. Any work on the machine should only be carried out by
specialist personnel.
•
Avoid using strong jets of compressed air for cleaning.
•
Use alcohol to clean plastic panels or shelves (AVOID LIQUIDS CONTAINING SOLVENTS).
•
Before starting the wheel balancing cycle, make sure that the wheel is securely locked on the
adapter.
•
The machine operator should avoid wearing clothes with flapping edges. Make sure that
unauthorized personnel do not approach the machine during the work cycle.
•
Avoid placing objects inside the base as they could impair the correct operation of the machine.
2.2
STANDARD SAFETY DVICES
•
Stop key for stopping the wheel under emergency conditions.
•
A wheel guard of high impact plastic that is designed to prevent the counterweights from flying
out in any directing except toward the floor.
•
A switch interlock system prevents the machine from starting if the guard is not lowered and
stops the wheel whenever the guard is raised.
2.3
I
NTENDED USE
•
This
wheel balancer has been designed and manufactured exclusively for balancing wheel
with a maximum diameter of 1000mm and maximum weight of 75kg. The calibration system
is sufficient to cover different wheels from motorcycles to cars.
•
In
particular
THE MANUFACTURER
cannot be held responsible for any damage caused
through the use of wheel balancer for purposes other than those specified in this manual, and
therefore inappropriate, incorrect and unreasonable.
