bends, damage to the safety guard and electrical wiring, and any other condition
that may affect the safe operation of the machine
.
Do not use the Wheel Balancer
even if minor damage appears.
Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there
is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstruc-
tions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use the Wheel Balancer in a
damp or wet location. Do not use the Wheel Balancer in areas near flammable

This wheel balancer is designed for use with most passenger car and light duty
truck wheels. Do not attempt to exceed this machine’s maxi-mum wheel diameter
capacity of 31-1/2” or the maximum wheel width capacity of 20”.
Prior to beginning a job, make sure the safety guard is in the proper lowered posi-

Never leave the wheel balancer unattended when it is running. After completing a
wheel balancing job, always turn the Power Switch to its “OFF” position, and wait
until the machine comes to a complete stop before leaving.

Before turning the machine on, make sure tools, tool trays, wheel weights, and all
other parts and equipment are removed from the immediately vicinity of the
mounted wheel that is to be balanced.
