This magnet is mounted to the protective hood assembly and interacts with a microswitch to signal the machine's control board when the hood is fully closed. For operator safety, most balancers will not initiate a spin cycle unless this magnetic contact is confirmed, preventing accidental contact with a rotating wheel. Over time, magnets can become cracked, lose their magnetic strength, or fall out of their mounts due to the repeated opening and closing of the hood. If the balancer fails to start or displays an open-hood error even when closed, replacing this magnet is often the necessary fix. It ensures your equipment remains functional and compliant with essential workshop safety protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Safety Interlock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enables the machine's spin cycle only when the hood is securely closed to protect the operator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Strength Magnetic Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specifically calibrated to trigger the internal hood microswitch reliably from a set distance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVibration Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to stay secured in its housing despite the constant movement and mechanical vibrations of the balancer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple Restoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quickly resolves intermittent start issues related to hood safety sensor errors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8109947\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e am8109947\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect replacement models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8109947\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coats 1000, 1050, 1250, and other wheel balancer models equipped with magnetic hood sensors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou will receive the same product or an OEM-Equivalent that meets the highest standard of the OEM with warranty that will be a direct-fit.
