Pioneer Eclipse Authorized Distributor or Service Center.
Order parts and supplies only from an Authorized Amano
Pioneer Eclipse Distributor. Use the parts illustration
section of your manual when ordering parts.
During and after operation, perform the recommended
daily and hourly procedures outlined in the
Maintenance
Chart .
Test for Operator-Ear Sound Pressure
Level
Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the operator-
ear sound pressure level for hand-guided floor treatment
and floor cleaning machines for industrial use. All tests
are performed in accordance with European Machinery
Directive (98/37/EC).
z
Outdoor test area consists of a flat open space free
from effects of signboards, buildings or hillsides for at
least 15m (50 ft) from the center of the test surface.
Indoor tests are conducted in a semi-anechoic or sound
deadening room.
z
The test surface is a single sheet of floor covering at
least 1 m (3.3 ft) wider and longer than the equipment
being tested. In order to not affect the sound reading,
the observer taking readings is at least 2 m (6.6 ft.)
from the equipment being tested, or standing directly
behind the operator.
z
All machines are tested while stationary and centered
on the test surface. With the traction drive in neutral
(where applicable) the test is conducted with the
machine at maximum engine or motor speed as
specified by the manufacturer.
z
The operator is located in the normal operating position
with the microphone or meter supported independent of
the machine, 1,68 m (66 in) above the test surface, 25
cm (10 in) to the right and left centerline of the
operators position, and 20 cm (8 in) to the rearmost
point of the handle, with the handle in the most forward
position.
z
The sound level meter is observed for a minimum of 5
seconds or until a stabilized reading is obtained. The
maximum repeatable sound level observed during the
test at each microphone position is recorded and
documented.
Test for Hand-Arm Vibration at the Grip
Surface of Hand-Guided Machinery
Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the vibration
at the machine-hand contact surface of hand-guided
machines that are provided with handles in accordance
with European Machinery Directive (98/37/EC).
z
The Test area consists of a flat open floor area that
allows the machine to be operated normally.
z
The transducer is mounted firmly at a point halfway
along the length of the handle where the handle would
normally be held.
z
Machines are tested while stationary, with all
mechanisms necessary for the equipment to perform its
intended functions engaged and the traction drive in
neutral (if applicable). The machine will be tested at
maximum engine or motor speed as specified by the
manufacturer of the subject machine.
z
The measurements are recorded from the
dominant axis.
