CAUTION: Do not exceed the flash point of the material being tested.
CAUTION: Possible pinch points associated with the weight-lowering device exist.
One is between the lift cap and the lifter top at the bottom most position of the platform and
the second exists between the weight lowering platform and the piston rod.
CAUTION: The surfaces of the furnace assembly can be extremely hot when the
machine is in operation!
CAUTION: Protective gloves should be worn when operating the machine.
CAUTION: Use caution when working with machines equipped with manual and
automatic extrudate cutters. Wear protective gloves to avoid cuts & burns.
CAUTION: The Motorized Weight Lifting/Lowering Device (WLD) is designed to
apply (and remove) test loads onto the piston. During normal operation a weight support
plate carrying various test loads moves up & down. At its uppermost position, the
mechanism will rotate 90
o
clockwise to facilitate cleaning of the bore. Ensure that there is
proper clearance for this action at the installation site.
CAUTION: Weight retaining rods must be installed to prevent weights from
falling.
CAUTION: Keep flammable materials from long term contact with the furnace.
CAUTION: Unplug the machine before any attempt to remove covers.
