Workspace Requirements
Position the lift near the wheel balancer (see Fig. D)
so that:
1. When a wheel is on the lift, it is lined up with the
balancer stub shaft.
2. The lift is positioned to allow:
- the wheel to be loaded (when the upright is
retracted)
- the wheel to be moved against the stub shaft
(when the upright is forward).
Figure D - Wheel Lift Installation Diagram
The Coats wheel lift must be attached to the
floor. The base should be anchored to the floor
using two normal metal expansion bolts (
3 ⁄
8
" x 2 3 ⁄
4
")
to bolt the base to the floor. These bolts are pack-
aged with the wheel lift. Be certain that these fasten-
ers are correct for the location chosen.
If the lift is not to be used
on concrete, other appro-
priate fasteners must be
used.
