Installation and Setup
A factory trained COATS ® Service Technician must
perform the install, setup, and initial test procedures
on your 6401 balancer. Do not attempt to install and
setup the unit yourself. Accurate and reliable operation
of your unit depends on proper installation. Please
contact COATS
® directly at 1-800-688-9240 for the
Certified Service Partner nearest you.
Floor and Space Requirements
The balancer must be located on a flat floor of solid
construction, preferably concrete. The balancer must
sit solidly on its three feet. If the balancer is not level,
does not sit solidly on its three feet, or is placed on an
unstable floor, the balancer will not function properly
and will produce inaccurate balance readings.
Do not operate the balancer when it is still bolted
down or while it is on the pallet.
Select a location for the balancer that provides a
level, solid floor, and adequate clearance around and
above the balancer. Make sure the location selected
has enough room above and behind the unit so the
hood can be raised completely. The location must also
provide working room for mounting and removing
wheels.
Unpacking
Check carton and pallet for crushed corners, broken
slats, gouges, and punctures which may indicate hid-
den damage. Make a note of all external damage on
the receiving waybill. Freight damage is the responsi-
bility of the delivering carrier.
Initial testing and training are provided by our
COATS ® distributor.
Remove outer carton from pallet. Remove strapping
holding hood in shipping position. Locate and remove
accessories. Notify manufacturers representative of
any missing accessories that were ordered.
Perform HOOD AND POD SET-UP.
Remove the single lag bolt and loosen the two (2)
anchor bolts holding the balancer to the pallet. Locate
and install the top two (2) accessory pegs. Carefully
slide the balancer off the pallet and move to final loca-
tion.
Do not use the control pod, control pod
arm, faceplate, hood or stub shaft to lift the
balancer.
