GENERAL SAFETY RULES

The wheel balancing system must only be used by person-
nel with proper training and qualifications, and only within
the range of applications for which it is designed (eg for
wheel-balancing on light passenger and light utility vehicles
or motor-cycles) in accordance with the instruction manual
and with FACOM-approved tooling for wheel retention.
It is forbidden to remove or render the system of safety
mechanisms inoperative.
Facom accepts no liability for damage or injury caused by
system operation where these arise from unauthorised chan-
ges made to the wheel-balancer or to its accessories. All
work on the electrical or electronic systems must only be
carried out by authorised and qualified personnel.
The system operator must abide by  general rules for safety
at work (protective gloves, footwear, etc...).

MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any maintenance or troubleshooting on the
wheel-balancer, disconnect from the power supply. Dismantle and
lubrificate the flange. Regularly wipe the spindle nose with an
oily cloth. Clean the front panel regularly with methylated spirits or
silicone-based cleaning products. Never use organic solvents such
as trichlorethylene, petrol, acetone or other thinners. Avoid water
splashes either inside or outside the machine.
If the system seems to be malfunfioning, do not remove or dismantle
any part of the apparatus until you have checked:
