CAUTIONS
CAUTION: Read the instruction manual thoroughly before attempting to use this
equipment.
CAUTION: This instrument has been designed to determine the melt flow index
property and other thermal processing properties of polymers. It is not intended for any other
use. Any attempt to use this instrument in any fashion other than its intended use may
damage the machine and/or harm the operator.
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object to press any of the buttons on the Model
MP1200 Controller, as this will damage the LCD screen.
CAUTION: The tools used on the machine may get hot during use.
CAUTION: This machine is designed for indoor use only. It shall be used in a
controlled environment (temperature range 5
o
C to 40
o
C, maximum R.H. of 80% at 31
o
C).
Maximum operating altitude is 3,200 meters. The area that it is located shall be free from
vibrations.
CAUTION: Prior to shipment, the cylinder of the machine is coated with oil to
prevent rust from forming. When the machine is first turned on, it is normal for the machine
to “smoke” as the cylinder comes to temperature and the oil residue burns off. To minimize
the release of smoke, clean the cylinder thoroughly before turning the machine on. Be sure
that a ventilation system is operating at this time.
CAUTION: In some instances an exhaust system may be required to remove the
fumes and/or odors released during a test. These instructions do not address all of the
safety concerns related to ventilation of fumes produced during normal testing operations.
CAUTION: The machine is heavy and care must be used when lifting the
machine from the box or moving the machine. Always lift the machine by the base plate.
DO NOT the machine up by the Motorized Weight Lowering Device (WLD) or by the
furnace assembly.
