SAFETY WARNINGS
The Troxler Model 4140 is a safe, durable gyratory compactor. To
alert the user of compactor motion, the control unit beeps twice
before starting any movement. Not every example of improper or
unauthorized use of this unit which may lead to malfunction or
accident can be anticipated. Thus, if a particular use is not
specifically mentioned in this manual as authorized, then consult
Troxler about the alternate use. Otherwise, it is assumed that the use
is unauthorized and improper.
To ensure minimum user risk, Troxler recommends the following
safety precautions:
♦
Wear safety glasses when preparing an asphalt specimen.
♦
Always wear heat-resistant gloves when handling any hot
substance.
♦
When moving the mold, grasp it firmly on either side using the
handle.
♦
Remove all objects, except the mold and asphalt specimen, from
the specimen chamber before pressing the manual compaction
keys or the automatic compaction key.
♦
Do not operate without the guards (shrouds) in place or the door
closed.
♦
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating the
compactor.
♦
Keep hands away from the gyratory compactor when the unit is
in motion.
♦
With the shrouds off, the gyratory compactor poses an electrical
hazard. Unplug the gyratory compactor before removing the
shrouds.
