2. Installation of the machine

When choosing the site, Health and Safety at Work regula-
190
tions and the regulations on working environment should be
taken into account.
The wheel balancer can be installed on any firm and level
ground. For the weight and space requirement of the machines
refer to § 15., Technical data. For installation on an upper floor,
observe permissible load capacity of the floor.
It is recommended, though not absolutely necessary, that the
machine be secured to the floor. For this purpose three holes
(Fig. 2) are provided in the base of the machine by which the
latter is fixed on the floor with 3/8 " anchor bolts. Fig. 2 shows
the center-to-center distance of the holes. Make sure that the
machine has a stable position, i.e. that it is supported on three
seatings. If not, ensure three-point contact on ground by
inserting appropriate spacers between the floor and machine
base.
For ease of transport the wheel balancer is disassembled
into the following units and provided with special packing (on
pallets):
- Machine
- Wheel guard

weight box and wheel guard arbor, and push it gently on suit-
able lifting or mobile industrial handling equipment (e. g. forklift
truck, platform truck).
Note
When lifting the machine bear in mind the centre of gravity of
the machine and avoid oscillating movements.
