SAFETY INFORMATION

For your safety, read this manual thoroughly
before operating the Wheel Balancer
The Wheel Balancer is intended for use by properly trained auto- motive tech-
nicians. The safety messages presented in this section and throughout the
manual are reminders to the operator to exercise extreme caution when servi-
cing tires with these products.
There are many variations in procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for ba-
lancing tires, as well as the skill of the individual doing the work. Because of
the vast number of wheel and tire applications and potential uses of the pro-
duct, the manufacturer can- not possibly anticipate or provide advice or safety
messages to cover every situation. It is the automotive technician's responsi-
bility to be knowledgeable of the wheels and tires being serviced. It is essential
to use proper service methods in an appropriate and acceptable manner that
does not endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work area or the
equipment or vehicle being serviced.
It is assumed that, prior to using the Wheel Balancer, the operator has a tho-
rough understanding of the wheels and tires being serviced. In addition, it is
assumed he has a thorough knowledge of the operation and safety features
of the rack, lift, or fl oor jack being utilized, and has the proper hand and power
tools necessary to service the vehicle in a safe manner.
Before using the Wheel Balancer, always refer to and follow the safety messa-
ges and service procedures provided by the manufacturers of the equip- ment
being used and the vehicle being serviced.
