1.2 General safety instructions
The simulation device "Brake Test Unit" is identified below with the abbreviation "BTU".
1.2.1 Avoidance of risks to persons and property
•
The BTU device may only be used for the intended purpose of brake testing.
•
Modifications and changes to the BTU device are not permitted.
•
Observe accident prevention regulations and system-specific safety instructions.
•
Read and observe the commissioning and operating instructions.
•
The device may only be used and put into operation by appropriate trained persons.
•
The BTU may only be used for dynamic brake tests in specially designated and secure
test areas. The operator/user of the BTU, or the person responsible for testing, is solely
responsible for safeguarding and averting danger.
•
The BTU must be secured for the driving tests and all the forces that occur during them
(in particular those resulting from acceleration, deceleration and distance travelled) so
that secure attachment to the vehicle is ensured in all driving situations.
•
Before starting test drives/test series, check that the BTU is functioning properly. In
addition to deactivating the BTU via the key function of the control unit, the safety
shutdown by means of brake pressure activation (vehicle service brake) must be checked
in particular.
