DST-64T / DST642D Wheel Balancers 22 P/N 5900192 — Rev. F — March 2021
Connect to a Power Source
The Balancer must be connected to a 208-240 VAC power source.
⚠ DANGER
All
electrical work
must
be done by a licensed, certified Electrician (including
wiring a Plug to the end of the Power Cord). If you do not use a licensed, certified
Electrician, you void your warranty and put everyone who uses the Balancer in
danger of injury or, in rare cases, death.
A Power Cord with
no Plug
on the end is provided with the unit. You need to have a licensed,
certified Electrician either:
• Wire the open end of the Power Cord to an appropriate 208-240 VAC, 2-Pole, 3-Wire, NEMA
rated Plug, which is then plugged in to an appropriate 208-240 VAC outlet and a 20 Amp breaker.
or
• Wire the open end of the Power Cord directly into a 20 Amp breaker that is part of the facility’s
electrical system.
Important: The Balancer uses electrical energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout policies,
make sure to implement them once the unit is connected to a power source.
Refer to Wiring Information for a wiring diagram.
Make sure wiring is done in accordance with National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes and
standards covering electrical apparatus and wiring.
⚠ WARNING
Disconnect power before performing troubleshooting or
maintenance
. Make sure the unit cannot be re-energized until you are done. This
equipment has internal arcing or sparking parts that should not be exposed to
flammable vapors. The unit must
not
be located in a recessed area or below floor
level.
Test the Balancer
To test the Balancer to see if it is ready for normal operation:
Turn the Balancer On/Off switch to On.
The Display Panel shows Bal on the Inner Window and xx on the Outer Window, followed by
Wheel dimensions.
(The xx is a numeric identifier for the software version.)
Mount a standard steel Wheel of a size you most often balance.
Refer to Mounting a Wheel for specific mounting instructions.
Move the Inner Arm to the Inner Edge of the Wheel; let go when you hear the Balancer beep.
Move the Outer Arm to the outer Edge of the Wheel; let go when you hear the Balancer beep.
Lower the Hood.
The Wheel starts to spin clockwise when the Hood is lowered (when viewed from the Hood side of
the Balancer).
If the Wheel does not spin, it may have been configured to a manual start. The Auto-Hood function
may be enabled/disabled by pressing Stop + C simultaneously.
