Installation
This section describes how to install the Dannmar Wheel Balancer. Perform the tasks in the order
presented.
Installation Safety Rules
Pay attention at all times during installation.
Use appropriate tools and equipment. Stay
clear of moving parts. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points.
Safety is your top
priority.
Use caution when unpacking the Wheel Balancing Machine from its shipping container and setting it
up. The Wheel Balancing Machine is heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed; dropping or
knocking over the unit may cause equipment damage and personal injury.
⚠ WARNING You
wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment
at all times when installing, using, maintaining, or repairing the Wheel Balancing
Machine: leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, eye protection, back belts, and
hearing protection
are
mandatory.
Only experienced, trained technicians may install the Wheel Balancing Machine. In
particular, all electrical work
must
be done by a
licensed, certified
Electrician
.
⚠ CAUTION Certain parts of installing the Wheel Balancing Machine are difficult for one person.
Dannmar strongly recommends having two or more people work together to install
the unit.
If an extension cord is required to power the Balancer, verify that its current rating is equal to or greater
than that of the equipment being used. Make sure the extension cord cannot be stepped on, run over,
or pulled out. Extension cords are also a tripping hazard, secure them appropriately.
Plan for Electrical Work
The Balancer comes with a power cord pre-wired for 110 VAC. Verify a 110 VAC outlet is near the
Balancer site.
If you plan to use 220 VAC, contact a licensed Electrician to verify that the facility electrical system is
up to local electrical code and that the 220 VAC can be provided at the planned Balancer site. The
electrician will also provide guidance on using a plug or connecting directly to the facility electrical
system through a circuit breaker.
⚠ WARNING All electrical work, such as attaching a plug to the power cord or connecting directly to
the facility power system must be completed by a
licensed, certified Electrician
in accordance with all applicable local electrical codes.
