COATS 6060 AX/EX Tire Changer - Manual (Page 16)

Maintenance Instructions
Read and follow all the maintenance instructions
provided in this manual to keep the machine in good
operating condition. Refer to the other materials
received with the unit and to the service bulletins
from the manufacturer for additional instructions on
proper maintenance and service. Regular
inspections and proper maintenance are essential to
preventing accidents and injuries.
Before making any
inspection, adjustment, or
repair, disconnect the
power source and block out all moving parts to
prevent injury.
Keep the machine and the
immediate work area
clean. Do not use
compressed air to remove dirt and debris from
the machine. Foreign material may be propelled
into the air and into operator or bystander
causing personal injury.
Wear protective clothing
and use eye protection
when making any
adjustments or repairs to the machine.
A. The vertical slide should be cleaned with a
vaporizing solvent and then lubricated with
chassis grease once a month.
B. Check the adjustment of the mount/demount
head once a month. See instructions this page.
C. Check the fluid level in the table top
transmission once every 3 months. If fluid
shows on dipstick, level is satisfactory. If no fluid
shows, add an SAE 80 gear lubricant until fluid
shows on dipstick.
D. The table top, clamps, mount/demount head,
and other working surfaces should be cleaned
with a vaporizing solvent every month.
E. The clamps should be inspected and metal
chips and dirt removed from the serrations with
a wire brush once a month.
F. Check the tire pressure gauge function daily,
and check the accuracy monthly. Use a
pressurized tire and a high quality stick-type
pressure gauge. If necessary, adjust the dial of
the machine gauge. If the gauge is defective,
replace it immediately (part number 107985).
Contact COATS at (615) 641-7533. Check
function of the pressure limiter weekly. Always
reinstall the lens after adjusting the gauge.
G. Make sure all fasteners are securely tightened.
H. Make certain that all guards and covers are in
place.
I. Check for worn, damaged or missing parts
including grips and protective covers. Replace
them before allowing the unit to be used.
J. On a daily basis, inspect the unit and check to
be certain that all systems are operating
normally. Detailed inspection and testing
procedures are specified for various
components at regular intervals. Set up a chart
and assign responsibility for these items.
Replace any damaged or
missing safety decals.
They are available from
COATS, (615) 641-7533.
IMPORTANT: These instructions will help you
service the unit. Instructions are for a person with
some mechanical ability and training. No attempt
has been made to describe all basic steps. For
example, how to loosen or tighten fasteners. Also
basic procedures such as cycling systems and
checking operation of the equipment are not fully
described since they are known to anyone who does
mechanical and service work. Do not attempt to
perform work beyond your ability or at which you
have no experience. If you need assistance, call an
authorized service center or contact COATS directly.
