Operator Responsibility
The operator is responsible for performing the
recommended daily maintenance and checkups of the
machine to keep it in good working condition. The operator
must inform the service mechanic or supervisor when
recommended maintenance procedures are required as
described in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
Read this manual carefully before operating this machine.
FOR SAFETY: DO NOT operate machine before reading
and understanding the operation manual.
Check the machine for shipping damage.
Keep your machine regularly maintained by following the
maintenance information in this manual. We recommend
taking advantage of a service contract from your Amano
Pioneer Eclipse Authorized Distributor or Service Center.
Order parts and supplies only from an Authorized Amano
Pioneer Eclipse Distributor. Use the parts illustration
section of your manual when ordering parts.
During and after operation, perform the recommended
daily and hourly procedures outlined in the Maintenance
Chart.
Test for Operator-Ear Sound Pressure Level
Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the operator-
ear sound pressure level for hand-guided floor treatment
and floor cleaning machines for industrial use. All tests
are performed in accordance with European Machinery
Directive (2006/42/EC).
Outdoor test area consists of a flat open space
free from effects of signboards, buildings or
hillsides for at least 15 m (50 ft) from the center of
the test surface. Indoor tests are conducted in a
semi-anechoic or sound deadening room.
The test surface is a single sheet of floor covering
at least 1 m (3.3 ft) wider and longer than the
equipment being tested. In order to not affect the
sound reading, the observer taking readings is at
least 2 m (6.6 ft.) from the equipment being tested,
or standing directly behind the operator.
All machines are tested while stationary and
centered on the test surface. With the traction
drive in neutral (where applicable) the test is
conducted with the machine at maximum engine
or motor speed as specified by the manufacturer.
The operator is located in the normal operating
position with the microphone or meter supported
independent of the machine, 1,68 m (66 in) above
the test surface, 25 cm (10 in) to the right and left
centerline of the operators position, and 20 cm
(8 in) to the rearmost point of the handle, with the
handle in the most forward position.
The sound level meter is observed for a minimum
of 5 seconds or until a stabilized reading is
obtained. The maximum repeatable sound level
observed during the test at each microphone
position is recorded and documented.
Test for Hand-Arm Vibration at the Grip
Surface of Hand-Guided Machinery
Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the vibration
at the machine-hand contact surface of hand-guided
machines that are provided with handles in accordance
with European Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
The test area consists of a flat open floor area
that allows the machine to be operated normally.
The transducer is mounted firmly at a point
halfway along the length of the handle where the
handle would normally be held.
Machines are tested while stationary, with all
mechanisms necessary for the equipment to
perform its intended functions engaged and the
traction drive in neutral (if applicable). The
machine will be tested at maximum engine or
motor speed as specified by the manufacturer of
the subject machine.
The measurements are recorded from the
dominant axis.
