COATS 1175 Series Balancer - Manual (Page 22)

16 • Important: Always read and follow the instructions.
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 may produce inaccurate balance readings.
Do not operate the balancer 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 pro-
vide working room for mounting and removing wheels.
Make sure the area has adequate lighting
