1.0 INTRODUCTION
Throughout this manual there are a number of
HAZARD Warnings that must be read and adhered
to in order to prevent possible personal injury and/or
damage to equipment. Three signal words Danger”,
“Warning” and “Caution” are used to indicate
the severity of a hazard, and are preceded by the
safety alert symbol
Danger
Denotes the most serious hazard, and is used when
serious injury or death WILL result from misuse or
failure to follow specific instructions.
Warning
Used when serious injury or death MAY result from
misuse or failure to follow specific instructions.
Caution
Used when injury or product/equipment damage may
result from misuse or failure to follow specific instruc-
tions.
1.1 Description
It is the responsibility and duty of all personnel
involved in the installation, operation and
maintenance of the equipment on which this device
is used to fully understand the Danger, the Warning
and the Caution procedures by which hazards can be
avoided.
1.1.1 The Airflex WCSB3 water-cooled tensioner is
designed for constant tension applications and is
designed with a dual piston and cylinder on the water
cooled tensioner. It is exceptionally well suited for
high inertia stopping, rapid heat dissipation and offers
high corrosion protection. The WCSB3 incorporates
both an air applied water-cooled tensioner and an
air-cooled spring set brake into one relatively compact
unit. The water-cooled section is used for high
energy, constant slip tensioning, while the spring set
brake serves as an emergency stopping or parking
brake. The addition of the support beam design adds
strength and rigidity to the assembly and eliminates
the need for a support bracket on the free end of the
plate. The WCSB3 wear spacer design and location
allow for easy wear adjustment. The design of the
WCSB3 tensioner permits mid-shaft or end-shaft
mounting and can handle high horsepower. The
rugged construction ensures long, trouble free
service.
