READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Eye and face protection requirements:

“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. Read and understand this manual before operat-

ing. Abuse and misuse will shorten the functional

life.

3. Be sure the aligner is properly connected to the

power supply and electrically grounded.

4. 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.

5. Do not let cord hang over edge of table, bench, or

counter or come in contact with hot manifolds or

moving fan blades.

6. 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.

7. Keep guards and safety features in place and in

working order.

8. 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

aligner. Care must be taken around hot parts, as

they can burn.

9. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered

and/or dark areas invite accidents.

10. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use power

tools or electrical equipment in damp or wet loca-

tions, or expose them to rain.

11. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the aligner

is turned OFF and power disconnected before

servicing.

12. Use only manufacturer’s recommended accesso-

ries. Improper accessories may result in personal

injury or property damage.

13. Repair or replace any part that is damaged or worn

and that may cause unsafe aligner operation. Do

not operate damaged equipment until it has been

examined and serviced by an authorized service

technician only. This unit contains no user service-

able parts.

14. Do not allow untrained persons to operate machin-

er y.

15. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equip-

ment in the vicinity of open containers or flam-

mable liquids (gasoline).

16 Adequate ventilation should be provided when

working on or operating internal combustion

engines.

17. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of

body away from moving parts.

Important Safety Instructions

Owner’s Responsibility

To maintain machine and user safety, the

responsibility of the owner is to read and fol-

low these instructions:

• Follow all installation instructions.

• Make sure installation conforms to all appli-

cable Local, State, and Federal Codes,

Rules, and Regulations; 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, are properly supervised,

and have a thorough knowledge of the

operation and safety features of the align-

ment rack or lift.

• 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 servicing 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 rec-

ommended 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, gog-

gles, 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.
