NOTICE

Important: Always read and follow instructions. • 3
1. Read and understand this manual and all on-
machine labels before operating this equipment.
Abuse and misuse will shorten the functional life.
2. Do not operate equipment if the equipment has
been dropped or damaged until a qualified service
technician has examined it.
3. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all other body
parts away from moving parts.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
5. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
glasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses.
6. Keep guards and safety features in place and in
working order.
7. Wear proper clothing. Safety toe, non-slip footwear
and protective hair covering to contain hair are rec-
ommended. Do not wear jewelry, loose clothing,
neckties when operating the tire lift.
8. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered
and/or dark areas invite accidents.
9. Repair or replace any part that is damaged or worn
and that may cause unsafe operation.
10. Never overload or stand on the tire lift.
11. Do not allow untrained persons to operate
machinery.
12. Disconnect lift from air source and activate valve
in both directions to ensure stored air is bled to
atmosphere before servicing.
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 cloth-
ing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves are
recommended to protect operator’s hands when han-
dling 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 typi-
cal shop activities. Eye protection is essential during
tire service activity. Safety glasses with side shields,
goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back belts pro-
vide 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.
Owner’s Responsibility
To maintain machine and user safety, the responsibil-
ity of the owner is to read and follow 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

Before you Begin
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as
soon as it is received. The signed bill of lading is
acknowledgement by the carrier of receipt in good con-
ditions 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 carrier makes a
notation on the freight bill of the shorted or damaged
goods. Do this for your own protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss
or damage is discovered after receipt and ask the car-
rier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so,
prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have
notified the carrier (on a specific date) and that the car-
rier 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 available.
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. Shipping damage claims will not
be handled under warranty.
