3.3 Danger of fire, danger of explosion
When working with test oil fire and explosi-
on are a risk.
Safety measures:
¶ Do not smoke.
¶ No naked flames or sparking sources.
¶ Use ISO 4113 test oil only.
¶ Do not use or mix materials such as diesel fuel,
gasoline etc.
¶ To reduce the risk of fire, never operate the
EPS 118 in the vicinity of open containers or in-
flammable liquids (e.g. gasoline).
3.4 Danger of burning
Danger of burning as a consequence of hot
parts, test oils and surfaces.
Safety measures:
¶ Use protective equipment, e.g. gloves.
¶ Caution must be exercised when handling hot ope-
rating and auxiliary materials (Danger of burning or
scalding).
3.5 Danger of slipping
Danger of slipping and falling through oil or
oil residue on the ground.
Safety measures:
¶ The connections used to supply test oil or lubrica-
ting oil to test accessories or the test specimen are
to be sealed before transporting.
¶ Rectify cause of leakage.
¶ Collect any escaped oil (e.g. test oil, lubricating
oil) immediately using liquid-binding material and
then disposed of in accordance with the applicable
regulations.
3.6 Danger of detonation
Flammable vapors may be generated du-
ring the testing process. Risk of detonation
through sparking or fire.
Safety measures:
¶ Do not smoke.
¶ No naked flames or sparking sources.
¶ The operator must ensure that the work area is
properly ventilated.
3.7 Danger of injury, danger of fire
The test oil jet which escapes at high pres-
sure and at high temperature may cause inju-
ries and burns.
Safety measures:
¶ Wear safety glasses.
¶ Do not reach into the escaping test jet.
¶ Tighten all hydraulic connections before initial star-
tup.
¶ High-pressure hoses (operating pressure greater
than 60 bar) are to be replaced after 2 years (refer
to date of manufacture on high-pressure hose) even
if there are no apparent defects of relevance to
safety.
¶ Replace hydraulic hoses at the specified or at ap-
propriate intervals (we recommend every 3 years).
¶ Check lines, hoses and screwed connections re-
gularly for leakages and externally visible damage.
Rectify all damage immediately.
¶ Route and mount all hydraulic and pressure lines
professionally! Do not mix up connections! The fit-
tings, length and quality of hose lines must meet
the specifications.
