READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Eye and face protection recommendations:
“Protective eye and face equipment is required to
be used where there is a reasonable probability
of injury that can be prevented by the use of
such equipment.” O.S.H.A. 1910.133(a) Protective
goggles, safety glasses, or a face shield must be
provided by the owner and worn by the operator
of the equipment. Care should be taken to see
that all eye and face safety precautions are fol-
lowed by the operator. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES. Everyday glasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
2. Do not disable hood safety interlock system, or in
any way shortcut safety controls and operations.
3. Be sure that wheels are mounted properly, the
hub nut engages the arbor for not less than four
(4) turns, and the hub nut is firmly tightened
before spinning the wheel.
4. Read and understand this manual before operat-
ing. Abuse and misuse will shorten the functional
life.
5. Be sure the balancer is properly connected to the
power supply and electrically grounded.
6. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord
or if the equipment has been dropped or dam-
aged – until it has been examined and repaired by
a qualified serviceman.
7. Do not let cord hang over edge of table, bench, or
counter or come in contact with hot manifolds or
moving fan blades.
8. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a
current rating equal to or more than that of the
equipment should be used. Cords rated for less
current than the equipment may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will
not be tripped over or pulled.
9. Keep guards and safety features in place and in
working order.
10. Wear proper clothing. Safety toe, non-slip foot-
wear and protective hair covering to contain hair
is recommended. Do not wear jewelry, loose
clothing, neckties, or gloves when operating the
balancer.
11. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered
and/or dark areas invite accidents.
12. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use power
tools or electrical equipment in damp or wet loca-
tions, or expose them to rain.
13. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the balancer
is turned off and power disconnected before
servicing.
14. Disconnect the balancer before servicing.
15. Use only manufacturer’s recommended accesso-
ries. Improper accessories may result in personal
injury or property damage.

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 function.
• 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 authorized
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 ser-
vicing 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 recommended 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 protection. 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.

Set Up Instructions
Receiving
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as soon
as it is received. The signed bill of lading is acknowl-
edgement, for the carrier, of receipt in good condition
of the shipment covered by our invoice.
If any of the goods called for on this bill of lading are
shorted or damaged, do not accept them until the car-
rier makes a notation of the shorted or damaged goods
on the freight bill. Do this for your own protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss or
damage is discovered after receipt and request him to
make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so, prepare
an affidavit to the effect that you have so notified the
carrier (on a certain date) and that he has failed to
comply with your request.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAM-
AGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR
RECEIPT.
File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support
your claim with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill,
invoice, and photographs, if possible.
Although COATS responsibility ceases upon delivery
of the shipment to the carrier, we will gladly assist
in tracing lost shipments. Our willingness to assist in
every possible manner does not make COATS respon-
sible for collection of claims, or replacement of lost or
damaged materials.
Electrical Requirements
See serial tag for the appropriate power requirements
of your machine.
Always have a qualified electrician install the proper
receptacles in accordance with state and local codes.
Machine Set Up
CAUTION
Do not use the control panel, control panel
base, accessory storage, faceplate, hood or
shaft to lift the balancer.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to install and set up the unit
yourself. Contact COATS as noted below.
A factory trained COATS Service Technician must per-
form the install, set up, and initial test procedures on
your wheel balancer. Do not attempt to install and set
up the unit yourself. Accurate and reliable operation of
your unit depends on proper installation. 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
construction, 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 may produce inaccurate balance readings.
Do not operate the balancer 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. Make sure the location selected has
enough room above and behind the unit so the hood
can be raised completely. The location must also pro-
vide working room for mounting and removing wheels.
Make sure the area has adequate lighting.
Figure 1 - Space Requirements
Connect to Power
Your factory trained COATS® Service Technician should
do the final check to verify the power installation before
connecting the balancer to a power supply. Failure due
to improper power connection may void the warranty.

Mounting Wheel On Balancer
Shaft
CAUTION
Avoid back injury, seek assistance when
lifting heavy tire/rim assemblies onto the
balancer shaft.
CAUTION
Failure to tighten the hub nut properly may
result in the wheel dismounting, causing
personal injury and property damage.
Select the most appropriate mounting method for
the wheel you are balancing. Using the proper method
ensures secure mounting and safe balancer operation,
and prevents damage to the wheel.
On most wheels, the inner side of the wheel hub usu-
ally has the most uniform surface for wheel balancing.
Always center the wheel by the most uniform shaped
side of the hub to achieve the most accurate balance.
Regardless of mounting type, on standard units,
always make sure that the wheel is forced firmly against
the shaft faceplate and that the hub nut engages the
threaded shaft for at least four complete turns. To assist
in centering the wheel properly, rotate the wheel and
the shaft while tightening the hub nut.
Standard Back Cone Mounting
Most original equipment and steel wheels can be
mounted properly using this method. The wheel is
centered on a cone from the inner side of the hub.
Figure 16 - Standard Back Cone Mounting
1. Place the cone spring onto the balancer shaft with
the large end towards the faceplate.
2. Select the cone that best fits the center hole in the
wheel. Slide the cone onto the shaft with the large end
towards the cone spring.
3. Lift wheel onto the shaft and center it on the cone.
4. Attach pressure cup to hub nut. Install the hub nut
assembly onto the shaft and tighten it securely against
the wheel. The wheel must be forced firmly against the
faceplate. The hub nut must engage the threads for at
least four full turns
Note: Use a nylon spacer (protective ring) to protect
custom wheel finishes.
Note: If the hub nut will not tighten completely, use
the front cone mounting method.

Standard Front Cone Mounting
A wheel should be centered by the outer side of the
hub only when the inner surface will not provide an
accurate surface to center on.
Figure 17 - Front Cone Mounting
1. Select the cone that best fits the center hole in
the wheel.
2. Lift the wheel onto the balancer shaft and slide it
back against the faceplate.
3. Slide the cone onto the shaft and into the center
hole of the wheel. You will need to lift the tire to seat
the cone in the center hole.
4. Install the hub nut (without pressure cup) onto the
shaft. Tighten it securely against the cone. The hub nut
must engage the threads for at least four 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 hub nut.
The wheel must be forced firmly against the faceplate.
Alternate Mounting
If the wheel has a protruding outer hub which will not
permit the use of the pressure cup, or the cup will not
permit the hub nut to engage at least four turns of the
shaft, this alternate method should be used.
Figure 18 - Alternate Mounting
1. Place the cone spring onto the balancer shaft with
the large end towards the faceplate.
2. Select the cone that best fits the center hole in the
wheel. Slide the cone onto the shaft with the large end
towards the faceplate.
3. Lift wheel onto the shaft and center it on the cone.
4. Use the small nylon spacer (no-mar ring) or a
centering cone to press against the outer wheel hub.
5. Install the hub nut (without the pressure cup) onto
the shaft. Tighten securely.

Direct Select™ Weight Location
When the machine is turned ON, the balancer defaults
to a 2-plane dynamic mode using standard clip-on
wheel weight locations (Clip 1 and Clip 2) and wheel
dimensions.
1. Before setting wheel dimensions and spinning the
wheel, first press the Direct Select Weight Placement
icon (see page 10) to go to the Direct Select screen and
enter an alternate weight placement location on the
wheel as follows:
Clip 1 (default) - select this location to place a stan-
dard clip weight on the Inboard rim flange.
T1 Tape - select this location to place an adhesive
weight on the Inboard side of the wheel that is the
horizontal plane at the outer edge.
T2 Tape - select this location to place an adhesive (hid-
den) weight on the Outboard side of the wheel that is
the horizontal plane in the inner area.
T3 Tape - select this location to place an adhesive
weight on the Outboard side of the wheel that is the
horizontal plane at the outer edge.
Clip 2 (default) - select this location to place a stan-
dard clip weight on the Outboard rim flange.
2. Press EXIT to return to the main screen.

Setting Wheel Dimensions (DIM)
Before a wheel can be balanced, wheel dimensions
must be entered into the computer.
Definition of Dimensions (DIM)
A = Offset
The distance measured from the balancer (“0” on off-
set arm) to inner plane of the rim (inner weight location).
W = Width
The width of the wheel at the rim flanges, measured
with the calipers as shown in figure 22.
Note: Only use calipers provided by the wheel bal-
ancer manufacturer because others may be different.
D = Diameter
The diameter of the wheel as indicated on the tire.
Note: A thick flange, on some aluminum wheels, can
effect the measured diameter. For example, a 16-inch
rim can have a measured diameter of 15.5-inches.
Figure 20 - W, D, and A Tire Dimensions
A2 = Offset
The distance measured from the balancer (“0” on
offset arm) to outer plane of the rim (outer weight loca-
tion). Used only for adhesive weight location.
D2 = Diameter
The diameter as measured at the A2 weight location.
Used only for adhesive weight location.
